Good fins for tropical travel?

[Furner]

I am shopping for some moderatly priced fins to take with me down south for a few drift dives during my cruise in Dec. What are some good fins that I wont have to spend a fortune on, not overkill for relaxing diving, and not huge for packing?

Thanks

C'mon, take your fins, you know how they perform and it will be safer.

I have Xpert Zooms with 7mm boots, might be a little overkill for tropical drift dives. I was thinking about buying the Zooms in the full-foot model, only ~$40 on ebay, but I have heard they have no bite in current, and I want to ability to manuver myself in current if necessary.

Those Spiderman fins are pretty pimp tho, I would be the envy of the whole dive boat.

You might want to try some Tusa full footed split fins, I just checked ebay and there are lots of them in the 30 to 40 dollar range. If your not really serious about gear and don't plan on using it more than a few times, walmart stuff would do, but if you plan on using it more, buy the nicer stuff and save the headache.

Too funny, these could become standard equipment for the BP and wings group. I might even get a set. rotflmao

I'm not sure if they are DIR, may have to run that by them...........I think you will be able to backup with those.

Tusa FF-9 Fins. Light, cheap ($35) and pretty darn good! My wife used a pair on our trip to Maui a couple months ago and there was pretty heavy current around Molokini...she did great.

For a few dives why not just take along what you already have, too much fin isn't going to hurt (unlike too little.) I take my same fins, and most people I see seem to. Not like you'll save that much on luggage. Maybe just get some lighter booties if the the fit will still work.
