Have you ever tried to frog kick 1,500'+ into a cave using force fins??? Or have you ever tried to frog while penetrating a silty wreck????
I find the force fin is only good for people with poor kicking techniques who tend to bicycle kick and the fin compensates for poor skills.
It seems to me that many diver's need to learn how to properly kick rather than buy gear to compensate for poor skills..
Force fins do not work well in many conditions and thus in my opinion need to be avoided.. You shouldn't buy a fin because it's easier to use on the deck, you buy a fin to provide use in the water not above the water...
