I am a big fan of Force Fins and have a couple of pairs (Pro, Flying and Excellerating) and I wouldn't use anything else. In five years of travelling all over the world in all conditions, I have never had an issue and they are perfect for carting around in your luggage with being so small.
Don't know about the earlier comment that they aren't as powerful as Quattros. I am in a team doing a cross-Channel relay dive from England to France for a men's cancer charity (10,000mm Under the Sea) and I am using my Excellerators with Bat Wings fully clicked in for most thrust. A couple of others are using BioFins, and the rest were on Quattros. After three months of training, we have half on Bios and half on my Excellerators. Far quicker in either than the Quattros, and half the effort. Can do 1km in 21 mins, and feel ready for another blast a couple of hours later. Granted, most people aren't going to be swimming as hard and fast as we are, this is for a specific purpose, but it does show the power you can get out of certain fins, and for little effort, and it is good to know for when you are on a recreational or tech dive and have to give it a bit of welly.

Jason Ooi:
hi jason, just go to their website, www.forcefin.com , if i am not completely wrong. call the salesdepartment (i think there is a sherry, sandra sth like that) and talk to her, alternatively email them. it might be that they want you to fax / email a copy of your c-card and maybe (first time i bought of them) a letter of the dc you work with. they will quote you the latest keyperson prices.
hope that helps, sven
