    My feet are probably normal to a low arch and that is a good thing in this case! I forgot to mention if you have a high arch these could be a tough fit for you. I always wear socks with my fins and with my 2mm Argos shorties are great!


    psychobilly,


    I do usually wear the outsides of the rear of my shoes out first, I thought that was because I was fat!

    I bought a set of Pathos footpockets from Dan and here is my review:


    The weight is amazingly low without really sacrificing durability. The tendons are short and narrow but a little on the stiff side so if you want to keep your blades with the same feel as in other pockets then I would suggest using a softer blade. I put XXOne Anax 1.8kg (medium) in these pockets and I am a heavy guy at 235lb, they are a little on the stiff side but not unbearable and the fit of the footpocket for my weird fit is very nice. I wear a size 10 shoe, and after some pm's and a phone call to Dan he recommended the 44-46 and it was right on, thanks Dan! I used them today and I am satisfied with them overall didn't get to very deep at the location today maybe 35ft and they really have some power with little effort coming off the bottom. I will post more on this as I get to use them in different environments! I really like the tall rails on the Anax blade makes for a very controlled kicking cycle no sloppy kicks. The pockets and blades come highly recommended from me!

    I would like to improve my dive times. I would also like to take one of the courses and learn more of the safety aspects involved any other achievements are caveats to a wonderful release from life (anytime in the water).

    I'm here in Okinawa with the day because of a Typhoon that is approaching! I might go for a run before the weather gets bad! This sucks :(

    What quantifies healthy? I would like to take the course and go TAD to the states from time to time for conferences what would be some of the prerequisites?

    No age limit ,just have to be healthy.
    It's a lot of fun and you can see how deep you really can dive. These guys are right- it is not necessary but if they actually took a course they would be better divers having done so.I find it interesting that those who have not taken a course are the first to criticize. What do they know? Darryl Wong took the course and he found it beneficial- not exactly an inexperienced diver.
    I ascribe to a different philosophy in regards to freediving than PFI or FII but for spearfishing it is a fun way to learn some great stuff. I don't think you would regret it.

    Where is this one sold at?


    Try the Cressi snorkel keeper, the only one I'd ever use given the option. Next best thing is a figure 8 cut out of a bicycle inner tube. From the pic the Cressi snorkel keeper may appear like all other generic keepers but it's not the same.



    I use the Beuchat Activa and will continue with this and it was my first one. Cheap, flexible, and compfortable. I like to soft snorkel keepers, and hate the clips. Just goes to show you everyone is different. Some people tuck the snorkel in their mask strap also.

    I know that before I have read a post or thread on the basics on what to do if one of your dive partners has a SWB or accident while diving. I would like to find it or something similar and have all of my dive partners read and sign it prior to diving in an effort to be safer. If you have something or know where a link is please post it here. Thanks in advance!
