Countdown to classifieds?

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.

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...

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

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.

Friends don't let friends cave dive.o_O

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...

I will take this if it is still available. Thanks.

New PM sent!

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.

Is this a for sale thread or a discussion thread. Give the guy a break.

Although the diving in Cozumel (or anywhere in the Caribbean) is not first class, it is a great resource for those of us in the States to get a very satisfactory dive experience at a reasonable price and easy accessibility.

Depending on the operator, your demonstration of expertise, your possession of a safety equipment, how well the DM knows you and a wink and a nod, a buddy pair can slip away from the group without recriminations.

Can you get the reg to lock in flow by taking an abnormally quick/deep breath? careful! Can you unlock the flow by blocking the mouthpiece and exhaust ports? When you say leak: freeflow? moderate? just a little? If you have the diaphragm off, will depressing the lever instigate the leak? Does...

Thanks for this. Do you remember what time of year you visited?

Thanks for your reply. I'm thinking you dove with Pohnpei Surf Club? Did it seem like a pretty well established operation? Did they run scheduled boats, or just make arrangements when enough people got together? Were you part of a group? How many in your group? How many people were on the boat...

Having been posted in the "Basic Scuba" forum, that would be a good assumption.

I just use a SAFT. I figure the less times I have to crack it open the better

I don't know what a crew member can do with a standard setup that can't be detected and corrected in two minutes. If crew members left divers to their own devices on the typical boatload we'd probably never get everyone in the water. I've seen people take three minutes just getting their fins on.

I always dive a shorty. Quick to don and doff. Keeps me honest when swimming close to the reef.
