Whats the most worthless thing an LDS has tried or sold to you?

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

Agreed. I just thought it was funny how much time and effort he put into the analysis. Some people are diehard split fin fans, so if it works for them, great. I'm not offended (although I may leave them in the dust in a current...)

LOL, I'm not offended but I still like to argue against them.

I love my Ocean Master dry snorkel, especially when waiting for the dive master on the surface in choppy water. My wife almost quit snorkeling before she discovered the dry snorkel. I didn’t buy one until after drinking half of Hawaii.

I also effortless frog kick and back kick with my Force Fins.

My dumb purchases?
Short booties that scoop up sand.
A Huge critter bag that was sold as a wet-equipment bag.

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.

We have brought together the following cars: Nascar, NHHRA top fuel funny car, Formula 1 racer, Cart (Indy) car and 76 Ford Pinto. In the straight line quarter mile competition the Funny car takes the grade, therefore it is the absolute best car no matter what anyone else says. Well, if you never actually have to stop, turn or stop for gas every third of a mile, it might indeed be the best car...on the other hand, if "explode on impact" is what you are looking for then it becomes a real toss-up with the Pinto in the lead

Same with splits in "pool trials" vs Jets.

I wonder if they'll explode on impact.

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

It's good to see that the old Uncle Pug is still hiding in there somewhere behind the kinder, gentler, moderator exterior.

I can’t believe someone had the audacity to imply that split fins were the best innovation in SCUBA when we all know it was air integrated computers!

Well that is my next purchase and I will stir up the bee hive with that statement after I get it.
Just need to figure out which dive computer to get one to get. :boom: :boom:

NOOO! Don't do it, not the air intergrated dive computer, no.

Still waiting for your scuba-boobs story...

What is wrong with the air integrated ones?
