Subject: Re: Esclapez Fins

Dan -- Good poop on the free diving fins. You're right about the silt
stirring problem in caves and wrecks. That's the main bugaboo.

One thing that might also be mentioned -- really stiff fins need ( or will
make, eventually) really strong leg muscles. I know you're very fit Dan --
but divers who decide to snag a pair, and aren't used to the stiffness you
describe (myself included) might need to ease into using them -- or be in
for a real surprise. Cramp city! Sudden muscle burn out!Ben-Gay by the
quart!
