I think happy is responding to wn’s concern about fins having a right and left for frog kicks being more difficult to put on with the correct laterality in choppy surf, with an increased possibility of losing a fin, thus ending the dive. Happy is suggesting that divers pull themselves past the chop zone along the bottom with the fins clipped to the BC, and then putting the fins on in calmer waters. Wn also alluded to divemasters losing a divers fin in open water, and happy uses the example of dropping a second fin in open water and using that fin as a guide to currents to find the first dropped fin.
 
Ok , I do understand the surf entry now , and the dropped fin to find a fin, it's the "remember too also beware of the diver swallowing whales"
that has me confused or is that, perplexed.
Please 'Happy' ?
