Boogie711:Poodles - I'm sorry you're upset, but I still stand by my statement.
I believe there are serious deficiencies in your gear configuration, but on the other hand - it's not all about gear configuration. Are you planning on seeking your instructor status anytime now? You openly admit that you are not. Which says to me you recognize the value in learning.
Now - to this gear configuration issue - every point I have made there is well debated even here on Scubaboard. Do a search on "split fins" or "ankle weights." While you're at it, simply curious - do you also carry a spare air?

Boogie - to each his own!
She wasn't asking advice on her gear config, as I recall.
As well respected caver once said, "What works, works!"
If luvspoodles at some time in the future decides she doesn't need the ankle weights or split fins (for example) she'll decide that on her own. She certainly doesn't need anyone who dives differently, "preaching" at her.
It's that sort of blatant intolerance that gives certain groups of divers a very bad name.
I dislike ankle weights and split fins myself - but that doesn't mean I'll refuse to dive with someone who wears them "just because". A diver has to show himself to be unsafe or decidedly clueless before I'll "find better things to do."
