If I know there will be continual current, and the use of a scooter is not indicated, I will bring my Force Fins along. For looooong flutter kick with no fatigue, they are still the best. that being said, I find that even in a fairly decent current, I can make progress with my Eddy fins and a fast-ish frog kick, with flutter for burst of speed.Here’s a related question....... What fins do paddle fun loving divers use, when they dive knowing they will have to swim against a current. Still use your paddle fins or switch to another type fin (what)?
I mostly dive Florida caves, SM with stages.. and I'd pick a paddle fin for current over any other type any day.Here’s a related question.......

I dove Fanning in early December the day before the flood hit. Saw 8 manatees. The viz was excellent. Went back the next day and wow... I was very surprised on how much the river sediment had infiltrated near the spring mouth. The only decent viz was next to shore close to the spring or in very shallow water.Most of my beloved springs are flooded out.
