> Folks,
> 
> About a month ago there was some conjecture on this list as to the
> availability of the original Oceanic Spring Heel Straps as advertised on
> a UK list.
> 
> Well, it was entirely genuine and I actually got two pairs, except that
> a (now former <g>) mate immediately muscled the second pair out of me.
> 
> Right now I still use Mares Power Plana Graphites. Pretty bullet proof,
> good kick but in sea water a little buoyant, nevertheless I'm pretty
> happy with this (second) pair and will only go to Jetfins when the
> latter finally kick the bucket, especially since I'm only a seawater diver.
> 
> I've seen (thank you gentlemen) the mounting techniques for these straps
> from a number of our stalwarts but I worried about then getting them
> onto Jetfins if I modified, "bent the wires", of the Straps themselves.
> 
> So I went to a mate of mine who makes tailor made gear locally.
> 
> It seems an elegant solution, given the constraints above and I have a
> couple of pics and, of course, can produce more detailed ones if
> required, essentially the current ones are only snapshots.
> 
> Anybody want to host it? Cobber, Jon B, Todd L? Note, please, alpha
> order that.
> 
> Essentially it attaches the Straps to the original mounting points via
> webbing, is tantamount to bullet proof and does not physically change
> the original Straps in any way.
