Wow, thanks for the recommends and suggestions. I have a lot to consider, and see if the shops rent fins to try before I invest money in a good set. I used to have the stiff, black jet fins that I loved, but there seems to be better products on the market now.

I tried my new Mares dry snorkel, and love it. Next will be fins, then my mask. Once I have the basics, I will take a course.

Wow, beautiful pictures. If I hit the lottery, I am moving to the Keys...and become a fish!

hi ya'll ...

i have a question for ya'll ... my wife is looking for some fins, after doing some research on scubadiving.com .. i've came across these fins which were top picks, but wondering if they were ok to use for my wife..

Oceanic Viper (paddle)
Mares avanti superchannel (paddle)
Atomic aquatics (split)

while reading, it seems that the atomics were the best in power, thrust which my wife realized it on our last dive with some current, she felt like she had to use alot more power to keep up with the rest of the class .. but on our last visit to our LDS, they didn't recommand that atomic fins due to its stiffness ..

has anyone use these mentioned fins and can explain how were your exprience with them?

thanks in advance !

The superchannel is a great fin, I have them, use both splite and paddle. The superchannel allows alot to the power from the kick to be transmitted throw the fin giving you alot of power and speed. They are not so stiff that it is uncomfort and cramps up my foot.

And they are not that expensive!

I know that reaction. LOL, yes the color is a fashion statement with women. I like Cressi stuff. I use one of their regs, they are the oldest scuba gear company out there. And their stuff is not over price, and are made in italy and thailand.

I have the TUSA Tri-Ex Fins (pink of course!) I like them and I like the fact that they float if you accidentally lose hold of one getting back in the boat. Luckily I didn't do it but my husband lost one coming up from the Spiegel and it sunk...no retrieving that one!

I had a pair of jets liked them, but I love my new SP twin jets. The are so much easier for me. I don't have to put forth as much effort, even in current.

I have Tusa Xpert Zooms. They are split fins and work great.

I second that recommendation. I paid $100 for mine but I know you can get them pretty much anywhere for just under $150.00.:cool2:
