    Seen this before years ago, but can't remember where? Better then Split fins thats for sure! This does not look to good for exploring as the poor reef or wreck. Interesting concept, but not sure how practical?

    It is a wind up, right?

    If it works I suppose it could be useful for free divers? I'll stick with my split fins.

    Anyway, at my age I don't think I could do that in the boudoir with a nymphomaniac attached let alone in the sea with a weight belt and 3 cylinders attached!
