Hello!

I am looking to buy my first pair of fins.
I am now using my dive shops one, the Scuba Go Sport, and I don't particularly like them. Too short, too positive buoyant.
I've tried the PSI Sprinter from a friend, so much difference! I liked them and wanted to buy them buy to my dismay (! sarcasm) I found out that they discontinued the pink ones.
I really really want good fins but I really really want them pink.
Any suggestions on some fins that have a similar performance to the PSI?
 
Not sure about the performance being similar but you can get the Apeks RK3's in pink. I have some in white, arguably a very good technical fin, good for back finning and helicopter turns, very very slight positively buoyant.
 
Look similar to AVANTI QUATTRO +

What kind of diver are you? Boat, shore, quarry, spring?

If you're not walking to the entry point, I'd go with socks and foot pockets. If you do then I'd go with boots and spring strap fins.

I prefer the former as foot pockets are more comfortable and streamlined. Lighter to travel with.

I have pink ScubaPro Seawing Novas and am very happy with them.

Hard to beat these, the D6 fins are very well known for the comfortability and efficiently in the water. Some might call this a "tec fin" and say its not good for beginners but I think thats hokey pokey, these will not disappoint you.

Sorry I didn't mention, I thought it was clear from the type of fins I wanted to buy 🤣
Salt water, usually from boat. I use booties and open back fins :)

I would prefer longer fins and I find them better to dive with! But I will have a look at these.
