DIR Fin

[MASS-Diver]

Hi Guys,

My buddy has a pair of SP jet-fins w/ the Halycon straps, he loves them. The problem is the extra large fin with the biggest spring straps won't fit my foot!

Now I don't have huge feet or anything - I wear a size 11 DUI rock boot, but, the jet fin XL won't fit.

Could any offer a similar fin that will fit or a soultion (I don't think SP makes an XXL)? I'm looking for a short fin (not some long sloppy fin that drags alll over wrecks), with decent power/flex (the Mares Volo is too 'weak', but the quattrao is too strong for example), and a fin that I can attach spring straps too.

Thanks!

Thanks, I just did a search and it seems like alot of people like the turtles's:

One question: who makes them?

I had the same problem and had to switch to turtles.
Checkout http://www.covci.com/~covci/specials.htm for good prices on turtle fins and spring straps

IDI Turtle Fins can work as a short term solution, however they are not quite as powerful as the Scubapro XL Jet Fins. The rubber seems a little less stiff and there is a lot of slop in the foot pockets unless your feet are really large. Having used both fins I can feel a noticeable difference.

What you really need to do is replace the DUI rock boots with the standard rubber boots. I wear size 11.5 shoes and the Jet Fins fit comfortably. Superior Diving Repair ( http://www.drysuitrepair.com/ ) is the best option to get the change made quickly.

So if I where Turtle fins for my fundamentals class will I get slapped or yelled at?
