Has markings "DDS #5" ... describe and claim, or if anyone knows who "DDS" might be (possibly a dive shop) please let me know ...

DDS is doctor of dental surgery, so that means there is s finless dentist on the loose.

Diving. . . is an active physical form of meditation. It is so silent- You're like a thought.

Is it possible that someone took the fins I left at Alki, wrote 'DDS #5' on them and then left them there for you to find? :dontknow:

I contacted Discount Diver, and they positively ID'd the fins as a pair out of their rental stock.

What I want to know is how can someone lose both fins at 23 fsw and still make it to shore? Have you ever tried moving in scuba gear without fins?

Yeah, I have- you can't do much except flap around. They probably lost them much shallower, and they migrated with the tide, no?

either that or they lost their fins at depth, dumped all of their air and then crawled out like a hermit crab. :toimonster:
