Had to chuckle when I saw the picture because on a dive a few weeks ago, I held my feet out like that to get a photo (obviously not as nice as the one you just linked!) and Mait, my dive buddy asked, "What in the world are you doing?" "Getting a photo to put on Scubaboard!"

This was taken just after I finished photographing a nice moray.

My last Diving Trip In 2012 - The Komodo Island

Komodo Island is located east of Bali, Indonesia and it was one of the best diving site you can find in this region. This hot and dry land is the home of the largest lizard monitor in the world, The Komodo Dragon. Komodo Island is also one of 7 places in the world where you can find Pink sand. The sand appears pink because it is a mixture of white sand and red sand, formed from pieces of Foraminifera.

Having travel all around Indonesia, I find Komodo Island’s dive site topography is interesting and magnificent at the same time. It was full of underwater pinnacles and passages, which is rarely found in other dive sites in Indonesia.

Visibility is around 25-35m (82-115ft) most of the time, and if you came at the right time, you can experience 4-5 knots of current in some of the site. Turtles, Mantas, Rays, Sharks, Napoleons, Bumpheads, Tuna, GTs are a normal sighting around the island, which makes Komodo Island a popular destination for pelagic lovers.

Due to the nature of the sites (strong currents), I packed my Hockey Force Fin with me. For me, The Hockey is the perfect fin for strong current environment. It helps me move effortlessly without having to kick very hard. The huge power stored in the snap is more than enough to propel my body forward in currents.

Here is the video made by my buddy Raditya Kosasih during the trip featuring my Hockey Force Fins and me in min 2:40 – 2:50. Enjoy the video.

Don't know about the others, but I always prefer Bungees than Spring straps, its easier to don the fins with them, (at least for me)..

Bob, the Facebook page has an awfully ominous sound to it... I hope this does not mean you are planning to suspend/terminate Force fins permanently.... Maybe this could just be a production "vacation"...

In the National Geographic video Strange Days on Planet Earth (Dirty Secrets episode), fisherman/photographer Mike Laptew snorkeled off a rocky cove wearing Excellerating Force Fins. His website has an image of some fins with blades about 3.5 times longer than the enclosed foot pocket, but he has used more practical fins than those.

In the big wave surfing contest video Billabong Odyssey, Shawn "Barney" Barron trotted up the beach after a PWC rescue practice in Oregon surf with a pair off FFs clipped to a band around his waist.
