Excellent, Rick. I'd like to try the Aqueon and maybe even buy one. Are they available? The photos from the Olympus look sharp, especially the turtle. Video even looks good.

Thanks George! The units are out of production. Then again, with enough interest that could be put BACK into production. Fingers crossed on that one.
I copied some material from the Innerspace website about Aqueon performance below: From: http://www.innerspacethrusters.com/Aqueon.htm Note the plot including compressed air consumption from a 71.5 cft. tank (how many guys today have even used one of those?). We used to do lots of stupid stuff with single 72's. Anyway, take a look at the ratio of regular fins to Aqueon consumption at 1.5 kts. It works out to about 1.5 to 3.8 or roughly 40% LESS air consumption when moving at 1.5 kts.. That is significant to say the least. It would be interesting to see comparative stats. for free diving. Cal calculated a propulsive power ratio of Aqueon to fins of 6.37 or over 6 times more effective.

That's one of the more cooler inventions I've seen in quite a while! I'm crossing my fingers along with you, have to keep checking their site in the hopes that they'll produce some more of these. Thanks for posting this Rick.
