Since EVERYTHING anybody says with under 1000 dives means nothing, I'll just set my dives to none so everybody knows I'm a clown. You don't need ANY experience to have an "opinion" about split fins. :shakehead

SkullDeformity:
Opinion is one thing. When someone (the OP) is asking for INPUT, they usually want it backed up with real life stories, not some bull that you hear other people say.
I don't care if you have 1000+ dives... but if you've never tried split fins, don't knock em - just because you THINK they're no good.

I don't think, I know. Split fins do not serve any purpose in my diving, and I would never recommend them to anyone.

Then why post if you're not helping the OP?

Why post anything anywhere?
If you like to post; there are plenty of places to post nonsense. If you're giving advice; it's best to have back up for it

Can you give me the facts you have on this? What's her height, weight, etc. vs. mine? How many years did previously smoke (you can see how many I did in my profile here on this board)? I'd like to see the data you have to present.
Our last instructor almost matched my height and weight, yet their gas consumption rates were equal, so I don't believe your Theory X vs. Y chromosome fit that data at all - was this simply an outlier in your data set?
And her photography I find quite good - all the pics in my gallery here were taken by her - above and below water. Lots of macro with good hovering skills. Her buoyancy skills exceed mine, no doubt about that. But then again so does her patience.

Women have lower SAC than men, unless she is 300+ lbs, which I doubt, she will most likely have a better SAC than you. Split fins are overpriced training wheels.

On such a trivial piece of equipment as fins, you don't need facts. Nowhere on this thread does anyone give facts, it's all "I like them", "I don't." Fins, and discussion surrounding them, are inane.
