he's biased because he is the owner of Deep6.... There is absolutely nothing wrong with them except for the fact that he hasn't made a XXL size for me yet so I can't buy them.... :p

You'll be happy to know they are in production now.

PM me your address if you want to take the prototypes for a spin
 
I need to get new fins.

What fins are best for sidemount?
As the first response said, it's generally a neutral fin. The F1s and JetFins are too negative. I absolutely love my Slipstreams. Others like the Dive Rite XT fins better. Andy Davis's link is a lot of good information, too. One notable fin missing from his list is the Mares Avanti Quattro. Hollis has also announced (released?) a neutral version of their F1s...something I'm very interested in trying out.

Deep 6 look nice! whats wrong with them?

Yeah, Chris, Tom and I will be very happy to take them for a spin. I'm not sure I can promise to return them, though....Richard Black almost never saw his pair again.
 
Sure... love to test new kit. Will you have any distribution in the Philippines?
well, we are a direct to consumer model, no dealers or traditional distribution. Philippines are a tough nut with shipping customs, would be willing to work to set up a office there... but again, selling to consumers, not dealers
 
I've updated my sidemount fin review with some of the other fins mentioned here....

Thanks, may I suggest you mention that the Deep 6 is not rubber, weighs approx 3 lbs a fin in air (6lbs for a pair.. about half of what jets weigh) and is positive in salt and neutral/ slightly positive in fresh (depends on size)

So does your facility down there in Georgia have a store or otherwise accept visitors?
