I saw them a while ago and the first thing I thought of is how they "could" benefit a Safety Rescue Diver: They could be in the locked up position while messing with gear on shore during a dark, rainy night. The drysuit and BC could be on while untangling tether ropes or rolling up a body bag. Then dragging gear to the edge of a riverbank. When everything is ready. Walk into the river and flip them down... BANG, your divin'. The "90% ready diver" could shave time on their last 10% of gear to don during an issue with Diver 1. I would agree that the possible durability aspect would need to be considered. They are probably not for everyone. I probably would not get them myself but that's just me. I do love the gadgets though, like the Slingshot fins. When it comes right down to it, the saying "The more you have, the more you have to go wrong" comes to mind. We just were discussing these fins at a Dan O2 class on Thursday.... Ironic.
