Dan, will be at DEMA only for 2 days. Coming in to attend the Academy of UnderWater Arts and Sciences NOGI
Gala dinner, on Thursday night. Why don't you join us there? Then on Saturday, we're off to Grand Cayman to accept an Award on behalf of the family of Louis de Corlieu, who is being inducted into the International Scuba Divers Hall of Fame for creating the first commercially viable swim fin. Wow! Susanne and I will be hanging at Cobalt Coast and diving with our friends Jay and Nancy at Dive Tech. I don't think we can now fit diving in Palm Beach in, but I've made a commitment to dive somewhere every month, so let's plan a dive check. Maybe I should just ship out my Hockey fins next week while your cooking?? Best, Bob
Hi Bob, thanks for the invitation....I will definitely look for you at DEMA, and if you wander around the "toy store" all all, I will be at the Palm Beach county booth #
1759 
We have bait balls running through for the next 3 months in Palm Beach.... And while the spawning of the goliath Groupers will end this month, we will be left with a large resident population on the big 3 wrecks for this ( Castor, Mispah, and the Zion) where you could still see 10 to 20 on a normal dive, even in late winter. Sailfish will be the next ultra-cool diving experience we will be sharing with divers from all over--we massive sailfish action late fall and early winter, and we have some big plans on photo safari's and immersive experieinces for divers with them
....In other words, for your "Where have I been with my Force fins" thread/chronicle, this is something you might want me to catch you on 1080P video doing
The hockey fins intrigue me....I would like to see how they reverse kick and frog kick....as you might guess, my monstroud Dive R blades are kind of ridiculous in the deep wreck penetrations... If you watched some of these in the videos I have put on Youtube, I can manage to not silt easily enough with frog kick, but the long blades hit the ceiling sometimes, and this just is not a practical use for fins this long....
I did a video with a noted GUE diver on the specific techniques we use to avoid silting, and also how to move around for underwater photography and videography....I would be interested to hear how the hockey fin would work for the skills demonstrated in this video....as you probably know, I am no fan of JET fins, but they are the typical fins chosen when precision techniques like this are required....because of the stiff rapid response potential they have--exactly what you are talking about with the new Hockey fin /Force fin.....Maybe one of the Hockey fin users could try these skills out, and let me know how well they are designed for the classic DIR finning techniques ( or types of propulsion we need in deep cave or deep penetration dives...or for good video
... see
gue-reversekick1 - YouTube ..If your guys say the fins will do this well, I will be VERY INTERESTED in them for my wreck and deep penetration diving.!!!!
get any ideas from that!!!!!!!!
