Full foot fin blade size

[Puffling]

I have full foot fins for vacation to tropical waters, originally I had some Aqua lung ones.

my husband needed some new ones so I bought him some volo race for his birthday, I was impressed as his air consumption and thrust in the water improved noticeably. So i compared them to my full foot and noticed that the biggest difference was the size.

so I bought myself some volo race....... Again the blade size is massively smaller. My dive friends call mine baby fins

now I know he is 4 sizes bigger, but there isn't the same massive difference with our fins for dive boots.

anyone else notice, and anyone know of full foots that have a larger blade size for smaller lady feet? I don't want to take dive boots etc on my tropical vacation, but I'm not happy that the lady's full foot have enough thrust

You could go with a traditional freediving fin, whose blade is considerably longer than any scuba diving fin. You can try something like a Cressi Gara2000 or a Cressi GaraPro LD fin. Also, if there is a deficiency in the mechanics of your kick, a longer fin will not help and may exacerbate the problem.

Also take a look at the free dive fins from Mako on their website.
