Drysuit diving...Twin Jets or Jet Fins

[detroit diver]

I dive a bare trilam, and the foot pocket is huge-in fact too large in my opinion (going to change that soon). The only fin that would fit is the turtle. It's a great fin and fits really big feet...

I used Jet Fins and Turtle fins for 20 years, then I bought a pair of Mares Quattros, used then for 5 years. Longer, stiffer but no real big difference in performance.

I tried a pair of Mares Volos, Wow. Much more efficient, less drag and sexy Black and gray colors too. I Bought em.

My air consumprtion has dropped 20%. nuff said.
I go just as fast, but with less effort, and my dives are longer.

You can argue I'm just more comfortable or relaxed in the water.
I've been diving for 30 years, teaching since 1978.
I don't think I have suddenly became that more relaxed.

The pockets on the xl volos and turtles are almost the same size so either should fit a similar foot. ( i would imagine any of the mares fins would have the same xl size, so all should be doable).

You'll have to pry my Rockets(Jet clone) from my cold wet fingers.

I have Jet Fins (Dive Rite clones) and I like those very much. And steel spring straps are perfect.

If you ever get a chance to try force fins, give them a shot. Worked better for me than anything else, including current. Takes some adjustment from , well, fins. And they do come in XXXL

Use Apollo's Bio fin for 'yoga dives' (just sorta drifting along lazily).
