Going from XL Jets to Turtle fins, what to expect?

[kidspot]

I switch between XXl Jets and Turtles, as others have said the fin is just a bit (not much) less "snappy" in it's reaction however the better foot pocket design is well worth it - the foot pocket is more foot conforming than the Jets where SP uses a "box" hoping people have square shaped feet I guess

If you can't find them on Ebay check with leisurepro http://www.leisurepro.com/Prod/BLRFTF.html?Search=op%3ddtSearch%26Term%3dturtle%26SearchFlag%3dall%26AdvSrchSortField%3dRelevance%26SortDesc%3d0%26Hit%3d1

Turtles are shorter and wider. The foot pockets also better fit for some drysuit feet.

If neither of them works, have you considered the US Divers "Rockets"?

I had to go to the Rockets, due to the XL Jets being too small, and the Turtles being too big. They are very stiff fins that take some getting used too. I posted a comparison of the dimmensions of Turtles vs Rockets on thedecostop.com:

I have size 12 rockboots and I use turtles and they are great with spring straps. I just can't use them when I switch to wetsuit boots and I use a set of Mares Avanti Quattros for them.
