I am a new AOW diver, dive only warm water & most of the dives in my area are drift dives. I currently own Mares Avanti Tre fins mainly because they were the only fins in three dive shops that fit me. (Woman's size 5 1/2-6 which I think equates to 4/5 in men/boys) Although I am a fairly strong swimmer, the last few dives I have been on (i.e. Spiegel Grove - moderate to strong currents) just about killed me to keep up.
I have been to many dive shops to try & find a fin that would help me combat the currents without exhausting me not to mention my air. But no one seems to carry fins to fit my tiny feet nor do they seem willing to order fins for me to try on. Plus, looking online (i.e. Mares Quattro) doesn't help because most of the fins I see list S/M/L etc. I feel stuck!!! Help!
Can any of you make suggestions on types of fins (5'4" 115lbs) for me & my small feet?
Thanks a bunch!
