Saw a couple of guys using them (they made me promise not to mention where) I guess they were testing them, so anyway, this was a shore dive last weekend, I was able to sail past them in my old design Scubapro Jetfins, not the split ones I dont like, but the old single fin design, and to me those new models looked way underpowered. I guess it would perform as claimed if a twelve year old girl with a snorkel used them. These guys were in drysuits. Just by using the serge that day, my dive buddy and myself were able to drift right by them and pass them. We were in wetsuits. Both of us strapped with 60cf tanks. On the way back we didnt see them. When we walked out they were by the showers discussing something and had towels over both the Bladefish. They did not look too happy. I guess by what we saw, those things are not powerful enough to pull the average diver out from the shore to open water underwater. I was tempted to aks them if I could borrow one for a few minutes to see for myself, but I didnt feel like dragging extra weight. Oh by the way? On the way out, they were kicking like hell to get out with those innovative DPV's. Well, at least Im saving tons of cash avoiding that mess.
