I think that he's asking you if you're bored. I'm not. Keep it coming!
 
Ok TN, in this image you can see how easy the Force Fin folds over. This first Force Fin was so easy to kick because it was very flexable..but with the Poly-Urethane snap. Great for snorkeling, but under California Diving conditions we would make some major changes to fin designs..more later, (copyright Bob Evans) I love this image, reaching for the surface after coming down for a photo. I will say they moved you so fast you could catch yourself down deeper than you wanted..

I remember how quick you moved in these Force Fins. Without feeling the fin's energy because of the open toe pocket. All other fins are lhanging on the end of your foot. Freeing up those toes does make a big difference on the " FEEL". Once almost broke my neck in a race with Bill Meistrell Jr. in a local pool...you can see in these images a Water Baby swimming down without knowing how far she dropped down and then the push back up....

The reason I chose Cozumel Island for testing Force fin was because of Dr, George Shalett Lewbel. We had become friends over several projects of ours ( Oil Platform research). I was the Photgrapher on these Marine Projects.Bob Evans Photography Dr. Lewwbel had a idea of a under water map for the La Ceiba Hotel.. His friend Sr. Francisco Morales would support this idea for his Hotel. George asked me to come along and pick photgraphic sites and he focused on the Marine Creatures. . Here Dr. Lewbel is noting a site, and zipping along with " Pancho " and Dr. Lewbel. (copyright Bob Evans)
