So I'm trying to determine the buoyancy of my fins, AquaLung XShots. Is there an easy way other than throwing them in the water and seeing if they sink, float, or sit a foot below or something?

I tried the old Google but couldn't find anything about my fins' buoyancy--just places to buy and how awesome/terrible they are depending on the reviewer.
 
they're about neutral, depends on salinity of water, other than a sensitive luggage scale there isn't much you can do to determine exactly. Fins are generally in 3 categories, heavy, neutral, floaty. This fall in the middle so +_1lb ish
