Ankle weight user poll

Actually I do not agree at all that I will waste gas wearing ankle weights. My gas consumption dropped a few litres a minute to a baseline of 10-11L/min after switching to ankle weights as I no longer have to fin all the time in shallow water.

That makes sense, as the ankle weights helped correcting your trim issues. However, if you could manage to maintain correct trim even without the ankle weights, your gas consumption may drop even further.

Ankle weights and correct trim is definitely a much better solution than no ankle weights and incorrect trim.

I never need to, but my wife has to have them or she ends up like a turtle on her back.

I use ankle weights.
They are called Scuba Pro Jet Fins.
The only thing they don't trim is my airport luggage.
