Development of a technical diver

Part 1: Ooh isn't this scuba larks a lot of fun
Part 2: I am just so much better than those part time divers
Part 3: I need to start diving deep so everyone can see I am serious
Part 4: Bugger this is bloody dangerous
Part 5: I am getting worried.
Part 6: I need someone with immense experience to tell me I am safe

And this is where the paths digress.
Doint It Right
DIR1: What do I need to do to be safe.
DIR2: Much practise in quarries
DIR3: I must now be safe
DIR4: And my team will make me safer
DIR5: Tell everyone how safe I am

Doing It Wrong
DIW1: No one can tell you you are safe.
DIW2: Learn from mistakes.
DIW3: I am as safe as I can be but I still make mistakes.
DIW4: I refuse to make my mistakes someone elses problem.
DIW5: Learn from other peoples mistakes.

Years later the paths converge again
BOTH: It's bloody hazardous, I am still alive.
BOTH: I hope I am not getting complacent.
BOTH: I don't give a fig what you think of my diving.
BOTH: I really don't care how you dive or how safe you think you are.
BOTH: If it kills me, it kills me and I will die with many happy memories.

This is not supposed to be inflammotary.
