DIR Diving - DIR Southwest

Doing It Right (DIR) is a holistic approach to SCUBA diving, which encompasses several essential elements, including fundamental diving skills, teamwork, physical fitness, & the use of streamlined, minimalistic & standardised equipment configurations, to maximise safety, efficiency & enjoyment of the underwater environment. The DIR approach was originally confined to cave diving but soon extended to both technical & recreational diving.

Club, team & staff members at In Deep have adopted & supported DIR disciplines & philosophies in diving for many years. As such DIR is reflected in personal diving & teaching styles. Many In Deep members have gained GUE qualifications including GUE Fundamentals, Tec 1 & Cave 1. Athought DIR elements are represented throughout diver training & club diving at In Deep, DIR Southwest is a branch of the In Deep Dive club which offers additional DIR training & support. DIR SW is an expanding group of like minded divers that dive & socialise as a group & team. With regular dive trips, holidays, projects, plans & regular training workshops in both open ocean & confined water sites.  DIR SW has regular meetings both at the centre & other venues hosted at various locations throughout the UK.
