Can we talk about using a zip tie as a temporary fin strap keeper?

My fin strap snapped on a job in Mobile Bay last month, and I looped a heavy duty zip tie through the buckle as a field fix that actually held for the whole 2 hour dive. Anyone have a better quick fix they keep in their kit?

Zip ties are the duct tape of the dive world, right? My kit has a few tucked away for exactly this kind of "genius" move.

Nah, I gotta disagree with you there @grace_hunt84. Duct tape is way more versatile topside. For underwater fixes, I'm reaching for my spool of line every time.
