Only a stroke uses split or any other kind of gimmick fin with gear on and you are giving us one more reason why not to dive with strokes. For instance, if I have a problem I want fins on that can deal with it (and on my buddy ), like Jet fins that will allow you to pick up a 45 pound dumbbell off the bottom and swim up with it. Try that with bullshit fins. Try pushing doubles and gear with floppy fins in a current or to respond quickly, not to mention the lack of control with them. Why is it that you guys only seem to think that maintaining proper skills and gear is only a cave thing? Is this a "cold water" thing, too? >> Hey George, How about a steel 95 with air in it? Does that count? I also had a 120 on my back, a pony, a bc with weight---about 10lbs total, and a bag full of fish. About 5 hogs, 15 inches each, 2 groupers, 28 inches or so each, and 6 porgies. My BC had failed, and I swam all that to the surface, in a current, from about 50 ft, and did safety stops, 3 at 20 2 at 10. Does that count in place of a 45 lb dumbbell? BTW, what the hell are you doing with dumbbells in the ocean? Inquiring minds and all that? Yes, I wear split fins. I like them so much, I bought two pair. Must be a stroke diver.....
