SGT (Join to see) - I'm not sure how long they have been in existence, but we first saw them in our inventory around 2010. I've tried them but not for long dives, just in the pool. I personally enjoy the workout of finning.

MSG Dan Castaneda, We've been on cruises and snorkled a lot. If you're not in shape you won't last long before a cramp sets in.

SGT (Join to see) - As much as a plastic prop, worm gear, some type of power and throttling system....I know what I'm doing this Winter! To answer your ? probably more than both of us make....Looks like a DIY project to me.

Alan K., It's a shame something that looks like so much fun, is unaffordable.
