Again with the Frog = Kick they are on the downside, but being their design, the Frog Kick is = seldom used, Split fins, in their design push the majority of water = behind, only a minute amount is pushed into the silt, hence frog kicks = being made somewhat obsolete. I have used them on deep 80+ meter wreck = dives, carrying 4 tanks in some noticable current, and have had no = problem at all. As well as this, done many cave dives over here in South = Australia, had no siltout problems (that couldn't be avoided with any = fin!) No line entaglements, and most of all, had no problems keeping up = with the other divers in the water, none of whom were wearing split fins = at the time. In conclusion as much of a "STROKE" as Trey may call me, I would have to = say, as that American show you guys had in the 80's says, it takes = "Different STROKES" to rule the world. But thats my experience anyway, I use both types still, buts it's more = whatever ones I have nearest the front door when I am running out. Besides who cares when you have an Aqua-zepp? nuff said. They are here, = probably till something more expensive is introduced and we should all = just get over it, people dive with what they feel comfortable in, to say = certain types are "shit" and are "useless" is just an opinion, and = opinions are like assholes, everyone has one! =20 THIS IS MINE Ren de Haas MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA ------=_NextPart_000_001A_01C11F3A.3991B860 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.2314.1000" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT size=3D3><STRONG>Have to agree with David here, been using = the Apollo=20 version for a couple of years now, had no real problem with them.
