Please pick one, or more choices. Sorry, I missed my twelve steps meetings.... God, grant me the serenity, not to post more polls...
 
I owe everthing to the internet.
 
You left off "learning from other people's stupid mistakes."
 
daniel f aleman:
25C degrees here Jeff, you still diving in the Mall?
Ha....The mall. Haven't been there in years.

Its 4C degrees here and I am going snowboarding this weekend.
 
Why isn't JeffG a choice in the poll?
 
By DIR training, I'm assuming you mean formal DIR training, eh? If you mean materials from DIR people showing DIR techniques, I'd have been able to check that box, too, giving me a clean sweep. ;)

(I have been very non-specific in my learning. I'll learn part of something from a book, augment it by ScubaBoard reading, practice it with a mentor, and then apply it all during a specialty, and so on. It makes it virtually impossible to point to any particular "most".)
 
one very important most - experience
 
Sea Hunt.
