"DIR (Doing It Right) is a holistic diving system that is designed to maximize diving fun while minimizing effort and risk. The DIR system is practiced by divers around the world in environments ranging from shallow coral reefs to deep ocean wrecks. Minimizing a diver's effort while promoting systems to maximize safety and efficiency, DIR is creating a revolution in diving fun and safety." (Fundamentals Outline)

Nova Tech welcomes Andrew Georgitsis of GUE and Mike H. Kane to relay DIR Fundamental diving techniques on June 28th, 29th, and 30th. This event is open to certified divers and costs $275.00.

* So that each participant gets adequate attention from Andrew and Mike the limit is 12 people. This class is full, however, there is a wait list, so if you have any interest contact Todd Clagett ASAP.

*If you have received confirmation from Todd that you are a participant you need to send a $100.00 deposit to Todd Clagett right away. Where do I send the deposit? Remainder of the fee will be due no later than May 31st.

* The lecture portion will be held at the Clagett's house (directions will be sent to participants at a later date.) Open water demonstrations will be conducted at Millbrook Rock Quarry, a 10 minute drive from Todd's house. Fundamentals participants are responsible for their own admission into the quarry. You can purchase quarry passes at area dive shops such at Sea Ventures or "The" Dive Shop for $10.00 per pass (you will need two passes, one for Saturday and one for Sunday.) Passes can also be purchased at the quarry for $20.00 per pass.

* Participants are responsible for their own air fills for their tanks.

* Be sure to read the DIR Fundamentals outline/structure (.pdf file.) It contains pre-requisites, duration, program contents and limits, lecture outline, diving skills, performance objectives, and equipment considerations. Fundamentals participants will benefit from reading the DIR Fundamentals book, which can be purchased from GUE.

****Participants in the Fundamentals program must register with GUE.

* The schedule will look something like this (subject to change as Andrew and Mike see fit:)
