Good day! First off I live on St. Thomas and with all of our dive shops I can't find a pair of free diving fins or really powerful fins here. Maybe their all here but I'm totally overwhelmed with what to get. I have an older pair of us divers that are nice and rigid and actually fairly decent but they are full boot and rubbing bruises into my foot my boss uses Cressi (reaction??) I think. He likes them and they seem rigid enough. I should be able to order them from a shop here but my gut's telling me to go free diving fins. I need power!
I am in the water doing snorkel tours most days of the week on a couple islands although we're slow now as its off season. So I'm looking for a fin make and model that will fit a women's size 7 (not an unusual size). I do underwater photography and am working on my free diving skills and have a couple classes scheduled so I can stay down (shallow) longer for pictures.... It also helps when I want to pick up critters (safe ones) to show our clients. Ideally I would like to keep it under $150 but may get crazy and spend more if I can find a perfect pair. Heck I'd even consider those single fin dolphin tail like ones if they work well.
Theres only one dive shop that I heard carries a big selection and will go look tomorrow but wanted to ask in here, what fins are powerful, full boot, and good for getting down easily for pics. THANKS!
p.s. I have bigger calf muscles then most men I know - used to wakeboard semi pro so I don't really worry about legs getting tired.
