Hey what's the big idea? Those snorkels are expensive......

I got a new oceanic, I feel like Jacques Cousteau now.

With that, I wanna complain to my boss.....my friend in Deloitte and touche has a personal shopper, why don't I?

Much has to do with how comfortable you are with the snorkel. Some people love the dry snorkels, but I find they always end up with some water in them that you can not totally clear. That adds resistance to breathing, and resistance to breathing tires you out. And you don't want to get tired out while working underwater. There are dry self venting purge snorkels to. Check closely on the snorkel, you might have one.

Professor you're killin me......

Ok I'm staying with the oceanic response. Not spending fiddy bucks on a snorkel that I'll hopefully never use. I started if at 15 dollas....

[NikLR 13,227]

You still haven't found a notary? Library I tell ya....

How far is OK city from Colorado?

Library will have to wait until tomorrow, I'm vehicleless. It's about 11 hours driving.

A good snorkel isn't cheap. I think mine was like $60 back a long time ago when I bought it. My split fins where $275, but I love the things. I got them shortly after they were invented, and couldn't believe how much easier it was to move through the water with them. When you're in the water, anything that saves energy is worth it, as it keeps you comfortable in the water longer.

Yes I can go there, he gets paid for the room and it has a little kitchen.

I was gonna ask what the difference between split fins and the normal style were...

ROFL! No to OK city from here!

She's got two years of high school left, so what she wants to do can easily change yet. College is certainly in her future, and most likely some type of advanced degree, even if she changes her mind on law. She's a hard worker when it comes to school. My oldest was actually the smarter one, but also the lazy one

That is often the case - the lazier sibling is smarter.

[SAT 9,609]

Ah frenchy, then you must be very hard working

Niki why do you have to a library in Oklahoma City? Aren't there libraries in Colorado?

!

On the split fin ones, the fin is split. On the normal ones, the fins are not split...

Split fins have a split right up the middle from the tip towards the foot, and strong ribs on the side. While traditional fins bend below the foot, perpendicular to the toes. If you look at many fish, you'll see the tail fin is lobed, with less in fin material in the center. When a tradition fin bends and propels you through the water, it creates turbulence on the fin, causing to to to have drag. The split in the fin bends down the middle, allowing the water to escape in the middle, and greatly reducing turbulent drag. So for the same work, you go faster and further.

[SAT 9,609]

That's why your butt is split down the middle. So you can run, bike, walk faster, further......no fat-o-dynamic drag

I've heard you go faster when you have a tail to, which makes me assume thats why guys tend to be faster than women.

[SAT 9,609]

So if I come up with a pair of split fins with a tail on it. I'll make 1 million dollas??

Cool thanks! Better explanation than Steve who stated the obvious. (We all know he's a slacker tho )

Steve, there are libraries here. I have no Jeep today. So that means I have no way to get around. There are no buses out to where I live, which is close to the city, but apparently not close enough. Tomorrow will have to do.
