Fast/good manuverability/easy to use - Which fin?

[ClayJar]

Sure, Jets come in yellow, but you have to special order them... from me... and I'll even throw in a tin of touch-up paint.

(I don't get the whole ankle pain thing. Are these people trying to chase down a nuclear sub or something? We'll just have to hardwire "The 59th Street Bridge Song" ("Feelin' Groovy") into their iPods...)

I just used my new rockets this weekend. I like em! Have been using the old blades but am getting into wreck diving and may be doing fundies in the spring. I found my blades too long for wrecks and a little to flexible for back kicks and copter turns even though I can do them. But the rockets make it sooo much easier. And unlike my blades they will fit in my carry on bag!

ScubaPro Jetfins!

After buying (wasting a lot of money!) on other fins, I have "settled" on my newly beloved Jets!

VERY versatile, easy to fin, and ALL the power you can possibly use. I used to use Apollo Bio Fins because I had previously gotten such bad leg cramps. I can fin easily with my Jets and get plenty of propulsion from them!

I think a lot of it has to do with getting more streamlined in the process of evolving BUT that is another discussion . . . .

Thanks for all the input. Sounds like the Jets are the majority recommendation. Do they come in yellow, fit a size 14 foot and not cause ankle pain?

XXL's were made for size 14 actually I wear 13's and had to search to find a boot with a thick enough sole that would fit in them.

I have the all black TUSA X-pert zooms, they work great for me.

I have a size 12 foot and wear trek boots with my drysuit and had to use XXL. My old XL's were not going on, no way, no how.

I went from Tusa splits to turtles , and will never go back.

I use my Jet fins with boots up north in cold water, or a wreck drive and a pair of AquaLung Blades full foot fins in Florida. I love my Jets when I need to move my lug around (wet suit, extra weight ...), but in warm water, on a 25 foot reef dive full foot fins are A OK.

What's the best split fin for this application?
