Since reading SS, I have been trying my damn hardest to reach the lowest depth as possible. I find that I can get lower when using a narrower stance, but that bothers my knees (no matter how hard I try to push my butt back instead of down, it still hurts my knees). I found that a slightly wider then shoulder width stance works best for me, as far as not bothering my knees goes. The problem with the wider stance is that I find it harder to reach full depth. In my attempt to go all the way down, I usually get to the bottom position of the squat, and I literally try to push myself to get that extra inch or two lower. It actually becomes like a pause and contraction of the leg muscles at the bottom (think of doing a bench press and squeezing everything at the top for a few seconds), where I fight for more depth. By doing this I don't get that "bounce" that you talk about out of the hole, and it's not just one continuous movement - down then up. Is it okay to squat this way?

PS. eventually I will be getting a video up of my form, but for now I'm just trying to explain my best.
