So I have been diving for about 10 years now and gone from fin rentals and using my oceanic vipers 1s successfully. Before a trip to Socorros I bought the seawing gorilla and after 5 dives gave up on them and sold them on the boat for $150 ($130 loss). I found them exhausting on my legs and ankles. Whenever I would do negative entry my feet would shoot up and I constantly had to bend my knees. Fortunately the trip was saved by using a dive masters spares which were ok.
So I will describe how I kick and balance and would like to know what may be a better suited fin. I generally kick like a freestyle swimmer and in the past have had no problem fighting current when needed. I balance with flutter kicks and the occasional frog kick to prevent descent. I kick often. I was told for me mares X stream and Tusa solla may be good for me.
Looking for feedback.
