I've seen a few things like this and if the pins and buttons are properly
designed you *might* be able to pull them off with a pair of pliers with out
crushing or breaking anything.

Cold compression fittings tend to hold a lot of things together.

To my great astonishment I did find out that at the both ends of the pin of
the ss fin strap clip manta is actually selling there are merely two buttons
which are pressed on the pin as depicted in the picture at
http://users.pandora.be/safe-diving/d_fout1.htm (text in dutch, sorry).

I believe this to be a serious risk as these might come loose one way or
another and hence the diver might lose his fins, losing the ability to
propell him or herself thru the water. In extreme harsh diving conditions
this could be a disaster.

I have emailed manta for a reaction. I will have to keep trying as I am
getting "over quota" on, their address ...

Dive safe
