Why did you choose them over Jets or Turtles? I'm not jumping on you just asking for discusion purposes.

PS are you a Dry Suit diver? Again, for discusion purpose only.

Oh I see you're in the Philippines so I doubt you dive a Dry Suit. The reason I asked was that Jets and Turtles are so great for DS diving in that they really help to hold your feet in position.
...anyway...

i am a new diver so i have no prior experience with gear. i only researched for my bcd and regulator. everything else like fins, mask etc were just regular purchases. dint know about the jets and still dont know about the turtles
i bought the dive rite since i liked the way they looked oh well my mistake.

No those fins are nice! No worries. If you ever get a chance just try the Jets for the heck of it. The turtles are best suited for Dry Suits divers or divers with King Kong feet.
The foot pockets could house a small family! -Chris

ive been using mine since day 1 and they are honestly fine. just been seeing all these testimonies on jet fins etc and honestly i tried the jets once in the pool and found em mor e difficult to use compared to my dive rites. oh well a matter of personal preference. thanks bro!

Sure thing!
For future reference, if you jump in the water and attempt to start kicking away in Jets you WILL hate them! They are best suited for frog kick, modified flutter and all the other tough propulsion techniques.
Once you get the hang of them you'll be sold forever...hence the testimonials. -Chris
