One more thing. Bob did create and sell a fin just for snorkeling. I think he called it a Turtle Fin or something like that. They were a bit beefier and had a wider profile.
If your goal is to get "in shape" for diving and used to the fins. My suggestion is to add a small ankle weight. This will help you by adding a bit of resistance to work the muscles and also help keep the fins submerged. If Force Fins don't break the surface, they are fine. Problem is that the "recovery stroke" is so effortless that most of the time it is almost impossible to NOT break the surface. They are enemies of their own efficiency!
