I think what Splash-X meant was that the SpareAir was originally designed to be used as a bailout bottle for airmen in helicopters when their aircraft enacted an unplanned and catastrophic landing into the sea. If you go by the theory that a device's "purpose" is to do what it was designed for...

Did someone say circus midget porn?!? *ears perk up*

Even the cat is entranced by the sheer pinkosity! And cats are not easily impressed. Hope you enjoy your new gear. :)

You guys should dig up some of the posts made by one of these fins' most rabid proponents defending them. Shaka Doug is his name I believe. They really are quite humorous if you don't take things too seriously. Somewhat reminiscent of posts defending another unusual fin brand as well. :rofl3:

http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/wreck-diving/298890-progressive-penetration-vs-running-line.html#post4625597 Definitely trolling.

Be careful that you don't fall prey to what you accuse others of. I'd say that the bit I highlighted is pretty darn close to, if not outright, badmouthing other people's choices. As others have pointed out a good BP/W system will come nowhere near $800, never mind $1000. Whilst you do have a...

+1 Except I use my 40cft as an oversized pony, not for deco. I don't compensate by moving weight around and my trim isn't affected. Or at least it is but its super easy to compensate. So much so that since I have gotten the rigging and d-ring placement dialed in (it took a few dives) I've...

I think you will find that most people will tell you that most established brands (such as ScubaPro, Aqualung, Sherwood etc) are all much of a muchness when it comes to things like quality and reliability. The only things that should be influencing your choice are things like personal...

The point that Kraken made is also an important piece of the puzzle. I glossed that over in my short explanation because when Winterpeg wrote this: led me to believe that he/she already understood that and was wondering whether a decrease in respiration rate could compensate for the greater...

Even steel cylinders' butts get a bit floaty near the end of the tank (although not nearly as bad as allie cylinders). I was in the pool the whole of this Sunday in a jacket BCD and found my back getting tired near the end of it. I figured it was just because I was in a jacket BCD and had to...

The issue is that your breathing cycle is controlled by your production of carbon dioxide rather than the availability of oxygen. When the CO2 in your blood reaches a certain level your nervous system creates the urge to breathe. What this means is that your rate of breathing will stay almost...

Obvious troll is obvious.

I know that it is neither particularly ground breaking DIY nor impressive but it is the first proper DIY job I've done on my dive gear and I feel like showing off my work a bit. A month or two ago I left my dive knife above the rinse bucket and walked off. Suffice to say that a few hour later...

Tell me Shaka Doug, is that video an accurate representation of how fast you would normally kick with MorFins? I'm referring to the frequency of your kick cycles; not the speed at which you travel through the water. Would you say on an average dive that you normally have to move your legs at...

Sorry for resurrecting this old thread but I came across a video which reminded me of it. I have to admit that I had trouble visualising what you describe Nemrod. The closest I could come up with was a dolphin kick. But then I saw this: Madison Blue Springs on Vimeo and the very first thing I...

Never mind lil ol me ... :D
