I've been using my SD-1 fins for well over a year now and I love them. I do commercial diving offshore in the gulf of mexico. The diving is all surface supplied and there's not a need for fins on every dive, but when you need them they had better get you where you're going quickly, and without wearing you out, you want to be able to climb a ladder with them if possible, walk on deck, and not be in your way when you don't need them...and in the safety culture offshore, if you can wear them over the required steel toed boots, thats a huge plus, because you don't have to hear the safety guy whine! The SD-1 does all of this and does it well. I'm a convert from the Excellerating force fins, which I have been using and loving for years. Thanks for another great fin Bob and everyone at Force Fin!

p.s. image below is of one of the caissons we removed this year being lifted out of the water with the crane. This section weighed in at nearly 100,000 lbs.

DGORDON,
Great to see you on the board. I just got off the phone with a guy who finished up a commercial dive shop while wearing his New SD-1 and he loves them. Glad you like um and thanks for the post!
