I have a pair of oceanic splits that I am using. I think they are great in moderate to calm conditions. Before using splits I always had problems with cramps.

However, now that I am doing alot of diving in the NE, I find that the splits are no longer very good option as the currents tend to be strong at times - and this is when you need the stiff propulsion of jets or turtles. One other note, with splits, you cannot really do any modified kicks (eg frog) very well or effectively.
 
-hh once bubbled...



I have a pair of Dacor Rockets (the clone of the ScubaPro Jets) that have been in my closet for over a decade...anyone want 'em?


Sure, I'll take em. I could use a couple more plant holders. :D

Just fill em with dirt & nail em to the wall.
