Craig study all the techniques and eliminate the wrong methods.This keeps history from repeating itself. You then say>Personally I don't think there is one right method. Well this is a single opinion with what background and research? How do you know this ,have you tried all the methods and came to this conclusion or maybe just jumped the gun? Now I'm "wrong" if I don't dive DIR? What's next..... with each level of diving you transcend you must gain a certain amount of acceptance. This is the way we learn to know and trust one and another. Its our lives we put at our buddies hands its nice to know that they are proven in the water and not just by word of mouth. You also added >>All I know is that with each dive I do, I strive to become a better diver. With each mistake, a lesson learned. And with each step taken, I'm that much closer to finding my own way.>> True and well said however the easy way to learn is from others who have been there.That way the mistake you may have to make to learn wont cost you the ultimate price!
