saw a diver on a florida boat trip using them-he was singing their virtues-i remained unconvinced.
I haven't seen anyone in this neck of the woods wearing them yet, but I did hear a rookie diver touting them on a boat the other day. My initial impression is that they incorporate an interesting concept, but probably not sturdy and powerful enough for the serious diver.

However, if I were diving in a location where I needed to exit the water via rocks (Like in Dave's scenario) or even the beach for that matter, I might give them I try, but I wouldn't expect much in the way of performance, it would simply be for the convenience.

Oh wait, they don't come in pink - In that case, that's not going to work for me! Lol!
