  What is rec.scuba's full email address? How do I subscribe to it? About
how many messages/day do they get?

  Or some other bunch finds and steals the fins. Or a current starts and blows
them away. Don't leave stuff.

  Re swim-diving without fins, I read that once in the Mediterranean in the
1939-1945 war, 2 men got hold of a Davis Escape set (a sort of small oxygen
rebreather) each and patrolled a small naval harbour underwater effectively
with them and no fins against limpet mines etc and even once killed an
intruding Italian frogman underwater. They got around by breast-stroking.
