To all Cave Divers

[cwick]

After a long talk with my fins, I now know where they've been.:11:
So with a little soap and water and a good scrubbing, we dive again.

I have a set of Twin Jets that I'll allow you to be in for real real cheap!

Off topic but how do you like those Twin Jets? (since they are real real cheap)? I got a pair for my birthday and think they will be great diving up here in the Atlantic with lots of gear/weight but I didn't love them drift diving in Cozumel....

What do split fins have to do with cave diving?

Honestly, I don't think they're bad fins for recreational use, even in current. I have more problem with them once I start loading gear on... That, and I can't back kick in em for anything.

I'd keep em, but I never use em anymore.

I bought a pair of split fins last year when I was doing liveaboards in OW. Since I have been doing all tech dives the last 8 months, I don't even pack them with my gear anymore. Its impossible to do a back kick with split fins (its difficult enough already).

Honestly, I have no problems at all with back kicks in regular jets. Never did.

The twins are fine for certain types of diving, but they can't do anything that the jets can't do... the same cannot be said the other way around. So the twins just don't see the water anymore.

They are used as an example of what type of fin not to wear.:arrow:
