DIR diving

For people who check facts
DIR (short for Doing It Right) is an approach to scuba diving developed by members of the Woodville Karst Plain Project and primarily taught by Global Underwater Explorers.

The DIR approach encompasses aspects of equipment choice and configuration, diving procedures and techniques, as well as of diver fitness and preparedness.

Some of the hallmarks of DIR diving include an emphasis on teamwork, environmental awareness, and the use of a highly optimised, streamlined, yet simple and versatile equipment configuration.
