My mother wishes to take on SCUBA diving, however she has sensitive ears so she is hesitant. She will probably stick to shallower depths anyway, but better to be safe than sorry.
Lots of folks use them and love them. Lately, I've been getting lots of ear infections, so I bought a pair. I've used them on one dive so far and I liked them just fine.
I had the opportunity to try them out when I was a new diver. I was prone to ear infections but wanted to dive. The ProPlugs really helped out, and they don't interfer with hearing like regular ear plugs do. They're definitely worth a try!
Many divers use them and I have heard of only a couple that did not feel comfortable with them or that said they did not help. So, based on that, I would say that they are very effective. As silly as it may sound, just double check that the plugs that are sold to you (or your mother) are the vented plugs for diving. The LDS should (and would) know better but it would be a painful mistake to learn from if she tried diving with unvented plugs. I say an ounce of prevention....

What's the problem with split fins? We have 'em on our SCUBA boat for the tourists. I even use split-bodysurfing fins down to 55-60 feet and they work just fine, and are great for agile turns in very shallow water.
Of course Mares Avanti Quattro for SCUBA and Cressi-sub Gara Pro for freediving are in a whole 'nother category than $20 fins bought from WalMart but I gotta do with what I got...
