I've actually started my DMT I looked into Intro to tech but none of the schools here was actually doing the intro, just the Tech 40-Tech 65 etc. so I've decided to start the course and look into tech later, as it's quite expensive!What kind of fin techniques are you currently using? I think you said you were considering intro to tech classes, which might change your preference somewhat.
I do 90% frog kicks, a few back kicks and heli turns, and the occasional flutter if I need burst speed or a tiny modified flutter/frog if space is limited. Mostly it's kick and glide. For this use, short stiff blades like the D6 or the Jetfins are great as it gives you a lot of power and control, where small corrections give instant feedback, and you glide far with each kick. If you use them for a constant straight leg flutter, they will be very heavy/tiring to use.
I'm sad because they would be a good fit but I don't like/want any of the other coloursAnother vote for Mares Quattros as they are wonderful fins. They come in several colors. No pink but they have a bunch of colors. Yellow, blue, black, white, lime flame and aqua/white. I have them in white.
That's one of the fins I am consideringLove my AquaLung Phazers in pink and white! Easy to see and great propulsion
My wife and I have the Scuba Pro Go Sport fins, mine in white and her's in yellow. We have never had a buoyancy problem with them. We have used them in drift dives, ocean surges, and fresh water. We have had good results with them. At first, we were not happy with them but now find them excellent fins.Hello!
I am looking to buy my first pair of fins.
I am now using my dive shops one, the Scuba Go Sport, and I don't particularly like them. Too short, too positive buoyant.
I've tried the PSI Sprinter from a friend, so much difference! I liked them and wanted to buy them buy to my dismay (! sarcasm) I found out that they discontinued the pink ones.
I really really want good fins but I really really want them pink.
Any suggestions on some fins that have a similar performance to the PSI?
If you’re looking to get into tech I would definitely recommend the Deep6 Eddys mentioned earlier.I've actually started my DMT I looked into Intro to tech but none of the schools here was actually doing the intro, just the Tech 40-Tech 65 etc. so I've decided to start the course and look into tech later, as it's quite expensive!
I do the same as you! But I did like the PSI fins. I think some of the instructors here has the Jetfins so I might ask her to try hers and see how I like them!
Well, there's always spray paint. I don't know how long it would last or if it would stick. So there's that little problem.I'm sad because they would be a good fit but I don't like/want any of the other colours
