Drysuit Fins for pushing alot of gear

[Vtdiver2]

I'm with MarkUK...I love my force fins, and know a lot of other divers, including ice, tech and cave divers who swear by them.

I use Turtles with my size 10 Rockboots, and Xl Jets when I'm diving wet.

so I forced my size 10 rockboot into a size XL Jet Fin, is it just me or does your foot stick out slightly more in Jet fins then regular fins

We could always chop your toes off, I'm sure that'd fix it.
Don't even bother with Force Fins--go straight for Turtles.

No, it's not just you, yes my foot stuck out. It felt the fins were on my toes. Hence the switch to Turtles for the DS feet.

I have no doubting the popularity of Turtles, or any of the Jet Fin-style fins currently on the market, with the technical, DIR and wannabe techies, and yes, they work extremely well for all fin kicks, giving plenty of power and control.

But then again, I can frogkick, scull, back up, etc, etc, in my FF Pros just as well. And just for interest - how many dives have you actually done with Force Fins?

None yet, thats why I'm attempting to make the change several months ahead of time, to get used to these.

I had Turtles in a size 9 Bare vulcanized boot.. WAY too big.. I bought a set of AquaLung jet fins .. they're on order.

The real question is, why would I want to do any dives in force fins when my Jets work great already?

So any input on the turtle fins would be great, or other similar styled short fins that would be appropriate. Thanks everyone.

I dive a drysuit and doubles, stage bottle, etc. regularly and I use Turtles. They are a good wide, stiff fin and move me and my rig easily through the water. My drysuit is a DUI with rock boots. The Turtles fit over the rock boots nicely.
