I have Apollo Bio-Fins myself. Many "DIR" kicks - especially the backwards kick - can be a bit of a pain. I really haven't had much trouble with them, though; I frog-kick most of the time now, with little trouble, and I can helicopter pretty easily.

<tangent> Take this with a grain of salt, though. My gear is not very DIR at the moment - Zeagle Ranger BC w/ Scubapro AIR2, no long hose, Bio-Fins, and a dry suit that has its exhaust valve on the left forearm - not conducive to horizontal ascents. All my lead's in the weight pockets on the BC, too, although my trim actually isn't half bad. But you'll never take my Scubapro regs! :tongue: </tangent>

That's all JJ and the GUE guys dove during my DIRF class. I think George doesn't like them and they aren't allowed in the WKPP, but other GUE divers love them and won't dive anthing else.
