Can anyone recommend a good pair of fins to use with a drysuit? I have tried the Hollis fins with my dry suit. Unfortunately, they tend to give me cramps. I do like them as they are a stiff blade. Maybe I should go to the pool and swim laps with them. Anyone know of any other good fins for a drysuit?

Thanks

Sean
 
I use force fin pro's with my drysuit and don't have any cramping issues, plus their super easy to get off and on with the bungie straps.
 
I use yhe XS Scuba Turtles, my g/f uses the Scubapro Jets they seem to be the 2 most popular fins especially for drysuit's. Others include the Hollis F1 fins and the OMS slipstreams.
 
I like the SP Jets, they are heavy and provide loads of thrust. The cramps you mention is not necessary related to the fins, but could be your fining style, fitness level, dehydration ect. You could try frog-kicking if you don't already, I never cramp while frogging.
 
Hard to improve over the Hollis fins. As suggested work on your conditioning and fining style, and give the Hollis another try.
