Help with all-rounder fin choice

[CapnBloodbeard]

A couple of years ago, Bryan of Lake Hickory Scuba did a good 'in pool' fin comparison using flutter and frog kicks.

Kick count comparison over length of pool...

Thanks - it's a good video. I did actually find this one when I was doing my research. It's really well done and quite interesting.

I have three sets

Because I'm worth it

Deep 6 aren't available in Australia - and shipping would cost as much as the fins

Because I'm worth it

Magnificent, and again , you never cease to amaze.
What was the postage to Oz ?

 

[happy-diver]

Currently 106.83US with the fins at 149.99

I bought mine around release time at 100US for fins and similar for postage maybe the dollar was better

but what it really was, was just another bout of mid fifties impulsive madness, and I don't even use them

Bankruptcy soon

Unless you wanna buy an unused large pair for a 100 to keep my wolves at bay for a day man

, and I don't even use them

Off topic, sorry:
You don't use them ! What size and how much ? I will join you in bankruptcy [and reduce yours].

Geat minds man, drill a hole in the top of your hemet and look above you near where god lives


You're not off topic if you don't take em well then CapnBloodbeard can have em as a spare set

Single tank and pony, wetsuit or not, I can do anything with the nova, not much good for pushing twins

Mares Quattro would be my recommendation

Your trim is appalling (just playing)

Nice reg.

I used to have "travel specific fins", Accels, hotshots and F2s. They were all a compromise. Now, although not in recent times, I just use my DR XTs, a tad heavy but my favourite wet suit fin. I gave up on the whole travel rig years ago and now just take my normal gear, weight allowances be damned. I wanna enjoy my trips in gear I'm hyper familiar with. YMMV.

Any locals got any of these deep6 fins they want to sell?

Scubapro Go Sport. They are considered a "travel fin" but I use them in cold water diving. I've seen drysuit and tech guys using them. They are a lot shorter than the avanti quattro. They are also great if you have bad or weak knees and ankles. Very comfortable for long days flutter or frog kicking.
