Help with warm water fins

[David W]

I will be heading to the Bahamas in a few months and I would like to buy some fins. Where we stay they have daily snorkeling and provide fins, but I would like to purchase a pair for around the resort. I don't want to wear boots or socks so full boot is preferred. I am willing to spend up to or around $120. Does anyone have some suggestions? I have searched some and came up with...

Mares which they have quite a few full boots no idea which to lean towards.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
David W.

Maybe have a look at the Aqualung Hotshots.


Mares Avanti Superchannel:

Mares Avanti Superchannel The Avanti Superchannel Full-Foot is brand-new and an evolution in the company's Channel Thrust Technology. It has a slightly softer foot pocket and center channel and directs water flow with flexible side channels and rails. This fin was the clear champ among the full-foots we tested. Compared to all the fins in this review, it clocked the fastest speed, twisted through the slalom course with the best time, and it tied for the most thrust generated. It also collected the highest ergonomic scores-of any full-foot fin we've ever tested. Our divers raved about its comfort, maneuverability speed and acceleration and named it their clear Testers' Choice among the full-foots in this review. Bonus: It actually sells for less than the Avanti Excel, making it a great value to boot. Test Diver Comments "Powerful acceleration without effort"... "Handles great in tight turns"... "Loved this fin!"

Good luck.

The scubapro jet sports in full foot are a great fin with a vent for less drag and flexible blade for easier kicking.
