I absoluletly will never use split finns again. You need to exercise and pay attention to how you are kicking. the split finns kick easier but you odn't go anywhere. It is not a race, slow down and enjoy the ride. If you ever do have to move the blades will get you there

Even for a dock area, the now available people lifts will work well. They are water hydrauliclly operated off a water hose and acutally turn 90 degrees as they descend or ascend. Most individuals odn't have wheel chair that is made for underwater but rely on flotation devices once they are in...
