  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!
Food for thought.
Don
