By definition DIR divers do not use split fins. "tech" divers are generally pushing so much gear through the water that they need the more powerfull solid blade fins.

The key is to match the tool to the job. If you are just cruising around in a wetsuit and single tank you don't need "power" and using softer fins might let you stretch your air supply a few more minutes.

Also unless you dive frequently you don't want Jets unless youre looking to work out some leg muscles you didn't know you had.
