SuPrBuGmAn:People who knock splits, either haven't tried em, or haven't figured out how to use them effeciently(there is a technique to any kind of diving).
My trim is fine.
I don't kick up the bottom.
I challenge you to photograph me otherwise
I use splits and love em.
Wow, somebody calm her down QUICK before she crashes and we have to intubate her with a snorkel!MysteryDiveBuddy:Oh first the Snorkel Inquisition makes me a Snorkel Martyr and now the Split Fin Squadron thinks that they ought to haze the second least experienced diver around instead of being helpful and nurtering?
(I am sure this has nothing to do with me constantly nagging somebody about his trim, his choice of fins, and kicking up silt because of the stupid kicking technique one must employ with such archane devices...oh and referring to him as the Monster from the Blue Hole of Death in public)
Next time the Split Fin Squadron kicks up a little silt they had better hope and pray to the SCUBA gods that I am not holding a camera. I hate diving with a camera but I may just have to do it in self defense because this is obviously a cruel and underhanded smear campaign. Besides what did my snorkel ever do to any of you? My snorkel has never made any of you late for a dive, kicked up any silt, or ruined any of your pics because I don't even wear the dumb thing when I use SCUBA(refer to photos by Bill and Moster from the Blue Hole of Death)! If I am snorkelling I am less likely to panic underwater and drown my buddy and I am not blowing noisy bubbles to scare the fish. I have snorkelled places none of you will ever dive. I have climbed down nearly sheer cliffs to snorkel and I have snorkelled with brook trout big enough to tear off a human leg! You all are obviously intimidated by my snorkel and you're jealous that I can swim like a squid. I think I should start wearing two snorkels, one on either side of my head a la El Diablo. On top of all that the next person who complains about my snorkel will be my new target: everytime I see you fixing to take a picture I will hold my breath and buzz you so all underwater shots you take in open water will be of me sticking out my tongue, me making a rude gesture, my backside, or my lovely paddle fins!
