How is status tied to whether your fins are full foot or strap?
Which by the way, if you would get spring straps for your fins, you're scenario would actually play out better. Your on watch with your booties on, something happens and you need to get in the water, you'll have better traction with booties on and you'll have some foot protection. You'd hate to stub your toe and have it get infected.
You'll learn in your DM class that if you're on watch there are a variety of ways to manage the incident and they don't necessarily involve you diving in the water.
