Roger,

I tried the Tan Delta's this last weekend, and agree with your
comments.

However, they do not work for cave diving.  The major power kick
that most of the cave divers I know (myself included) is a large
frogkick.  This has both power and puts the "fin wash" directly
behind the diver, thus being good for reducing or eliminating silting
from "fin wash".

However, with the ForceFins, there is no way to frogkick, and the
power kick is on the downstroke.  This leads to silt being stirred up
by the "fin wash" and I could not get it to stop no matter how I tried.

Bottom line is that I will go back to my ScubaPro Giant JetFins for
cave/cavern/wreck diving, and will be returning the Tan Delta's to
Bob Evans for a refund.

John
