Hi there,
I need a new pair of full foot fins for snorkling and warm water diving! After reading Rodale's fin tests i picked out the Oceanic Caribe (best paddle) and the Oceanic V6 (best split), but I also tested the Scubapro Twinspeed today and I liked it!
I do a lot of snorkling, so i need a fin that is good for surface use.

Can you tell me your experience with the 3 fins or do you know a fin that is more sufficient for my requirements?

(Did anybody try out tusa ff-9 expert zoom?)
 
The Oceanic Caribe is made out of a plastic compound that will develop stress cracks quickly. They may perform well while scubadiving, but will not last more than a year. I discovered this while using a similar fin made by Tusa and then checked around with some other people that had the Caribe. Go with the mares avanti tre if you want a light soft fin with good surface performance.
