Caribe and Snap fins.

[BrettM]

Since reading the Rodale's fin review I've been curious about the Oceanic Caribe full foot fins but they are pretty hard to find right now at either my LDS or online. In looking around for who has them available I ran across a picture of Body Glove Snap fins and they look almost identical to the Oceanic Caribe fins.

Does anyone know if these fins basically the same, being manufactured by the same company with slightly different cosmetics or are these fins actually different in materials, fit and performance?

It looks like the same/similar mold, but the materials are different. A closer match is the Tusa Reef Tourer or the split version. Very fast, but very flexible fin.
