flip turn

I am still new to swimming, so as practicing at the local pool I noticed that people do turns in freestyle differently.Some do a turn when you kinda do the somersault and some just sort of dive in and then just flip over on their side and then push off the wall.Obviously I cannot do either right now so I was wondering which one is the best to do and what is the exact way to do it. Thanks.

    I tried a flip turn based on what was mentioned here.Thanks a lot!I am definitely better at it although not very comfortable doing it yet(well ... I am sure that time will come soon)Also, for some reason, not all the time, but it does happen that when I push off the wall I go too deep for some reason, almost to the bottom of the pool.Anyone knows what causes it?maybe my turn is not complete or something. Thanks again for the advice everyone.
