    Question Argonaut Kraken Owner

    There are not a lot of Argonauts around and there's always someone looking for one. If you decide to sell it don't take a loss. If you decide to keep it, they are not difficult to dive and can be serviced without special tools. Have fun.

    Question Is a Mk25 overkill for recreational tropical water dives?

    I’m glad you read and agree with my post #25! And I especially appreciate your saying there is no one best fit. You could almost say, that depending on usage “The mk25 is no better or worse than many other first stages.”

    Question Is a Mk25 overkill for recreational tropical water dives?

    Neither of your analogies are very good. As I pointed out, any first stage carries out a very simple function, and most first stages, regardless of price, fulfill that function very well. If you choose to think of your regulator as a luxury car, I will let you go on with that fantasy. But...

    Question Is a Mk25 overkill for recreational tropical water dives?

    The purpose of the first stage is to provide a relatively stable intermediate pressure with sufficient flow reliably. This is not a high bar and any popular first stage can do it. Beyond this there are features like port layout, balanced/unbalanced, piston/diaphragm, sealed/unsealed, ease of...

    I prefer the West End, Roatan experience, but for diving Cozumel is much better.

    Question Where are you viewing the 2023 & 2024 Solar Eclipses?

    tv. If you are in an area with leafed trees glance down at the sidewalk and view the multiple partial eclipses projected through the gaps in the leaves.

    Attaching heel straps/bungies/springs to fins without them?

    On the down-kick the fins form a pocket and propel a lot of water. On the up-kick the convex surface slips through the water with little effect. When surface swimming with the FFs I slap the surface a lot on the down-kick. The powerful down-kick and the effortless recovery up-kick is what makes...

    Bright Weights for BP/W

    If you are new, try not to make things complicated. This is just for Hookah setups, isn't it?

    Attaching heel straps/bungies/springs to fins without them?

    I love my ForceFins for warm water SCUBA, but have found them pretty useless for surface swimming. They have no thrust on up-kick. I wear a size 9 shoe and a FF ML with Comfort Insteps and barefoot.

    Attaching heel straps/bungies/springs to fins without them?

    Because ForceFins retail for a relatively high price, sellers on ebay have a hard time pricing a used pair. My Originals I bought on local Craigslist for around $50. and I later lucked into on auction for $35. plus $15. shipping for a nice pair of Pro's. If you have time and patience you can...

    Attaching heel straps/bungies/springs to fins without them?

    I'd pass. Reasonably priced intact FFs show up on ebay regularly. Hard to tell without a side view if the mounting holes are intact. The tab at the heel is also strange. A FF heel strap kit will cost you $40. if it can be mounted. At least, ask the seller for a side view to see what's up.
