FINS

Two Styles: Scuba fins come in two basic styles; full footed, which are worn barefooted, and open heeled, which are worn with neoprene boots. Divers in this area and even divers in warm waters, such as the Caribbean, prefer open heeled fins. Using fins while wearing boots is safer and more comfortable.

Blade Types:  

A bladed fin, like the Jet Sport by Scuba Pro is one of the newest and most popular designs. Bladed fins are lighter in weight and allow good maneuverability.  Quick adjust heel straps allow easy adjustability.

A flexible solid blade fin, like the  Mako by Aeris the Avanti Quattro  by Mares, delivers power on both the down stroke and the upstroke. The flexibility of the fin allows long periods of use without tiring. Quick release straps eases entering and exiting the fins.

Recently, Split Fins

have been developed.  These fins offer increased ease of kicking.  

A new breakthrough in design includes a split fin with a flexible membrane to offer both the ease of  kicking of a split fin and the increased propulsion of a full bladed fin..  The Volo by Mares guarantees 30% more efficiency than traditional fins and also offers greater turning ability than a spit fin.
