Hey everyone,
I was wondering if a few people would comment on some help buying fins. I am a new diver, and getting ready to buy gear. I am reading alot about technique on different types of fins and have seen some stuff that worried me regarding types of fins. I thought I was sold on split fins till another thread that I was reading said they were useless. The dive shop that I shop at raves about them.
A little on me.... I used to swim as a year round competiton level swimmer. I am not looking to break any speed records diving it is for the fun of the sport. However given that my kick technique is that of a swimmer, what would someone suggest for types of fins? I am guessing force fins are out from what I have read, split fins? jet fins? I used to train using the cheap pair of solid seaquest fins (read bottom of the line for a diver). I wanted to get a few opinions before I went and dropped a few bills on a good pair.
thanks,
CR
