Hi Guys,
I always hate it when the guy in front swims off and leaves a cloud of sand in place of the critters that I'm looking to photograph.
I really hated it until I saw a video of myself under water and was completely embarrassed when I saw a cloud of sand rise up behind me when I moved from one subject to the next.
After watching the video carefully, it was obvious that the split fins were sucking up the sand into the water column when I started finning.
I'm now wondering if there is any documented proof that a blade fin is any better at NOT kicking up sand than a quality split fin?
Note that I said "documented" proof, not wive's tails. I'm looking at buying new fins to try and alleviate this problem, so I don't want to throw good money after bad. . .
Thanks for taking the time,
Bruce
