I apologies if I insulted any of you.

When you become a scuba diver you will probably have thin skin in regard to certain things too.

I'm a scuba diver and I don't have thin skin!

FWIW, keeping it on-topic: I was kicking the tires on drysuits at a shop I hadn't been to before. The guy tried to sell me a "package" right off the bat. Don't need a package today, well then how about one a' these babies???!!! It was a Mares HUB.

Richard, no need to defend the HUB, that one's been played out already...

Well...did you get the HUB? I'm thinking they should give away a HUB with each split fin purchase.

There's a guy on Scubadiving.com who performed exhaustive tests of various fins on his own. His performance data showed split fins in a favorable light. I'll stick with my Turtles, though.

Yes but with what kicks? Once in a while I get a student who has some experienced freind sell them on splits before they start the class. I haven't been able to teach any of them to kick. Out of despiration I took several different split fins into the pool. I spent hours trying to use them in the hopes I would figure out a way to teach student who insisted on using them. They are terible for a frog (I can swim faster with my hands) Forget backing up. Turns are awkward and slow. You put on the breaks and nothing happens. If you need a sudden burst of power nothing happens. If you try a shufffle kick you just vibrate a little with no foreward movement. If they work at all it's only with a flutter and I don't flutter much. I will no longer allow students to use them. They can buy whatever they want but they can't use split fins in my class because they have no chance of learning the kicks I teach if they do. BTW, I have never seen a cave instructor allow a student to use them either. In fact, that's what made me decide to just avoid the whole problem and disallow them. After all the hassle I've had with those goofy things I can tell you how much weight I give scubadiving.com split fin data. LOL
