I think that is the right approach. Team based diving is great and I think the fact everyone is looking after each other's safety is a really superb way to dive. However, that team depends on like minded folk and as you rightly say they are not always available.

I still fancy the GUE-F (or DIR-F as it used to be) just to get my skills properly honed. When both the missus and me have the kit/time/money we will do it. I don't ever plan to be fully DIR.
