Hello,

I think it might be time to let go of my 90s fins with duct tape and replace.I have no idea what is the latest? I need booties to wear with my current fins but are no booties & fins what is used nowadays? I only dive/snorkel in tropics on vacation so not often and travel with a large backpack so the less weight the better. Can anyone recommend a brand of fins that are travel friendly and suitable for small feet? Thanks if you can reply.
 
I love the Oceanic Accel fins as they are relatively small and light yet they still have enough thrust. They are also stiff enough to frog kick and back kick with them. You might also want to check out the Deep 6 Eddy fins, I've heard great things about them as well.
 
fifty bucks in scubastore, but how small is small? -- their smallest size is not that tiny. Other than that, I like mine too.
 
thanks all for your help! i will start shopping around.
 
Full foot fins is not that great for shore dive if you have to negotiate pebble/rock.
 
If you don't need open heel, many people like freediving fins (that practically all come in full foot). The ones with detachable blades may fit in a backpack. You could PM @MAKO Spearguns and ask how long their blades are.
