Jet fins and Turtle Fins

[pollywogg]

Hey guys,
I've been looking around and doing alot of reading on fins. (I have a cheap pair of DeepSee splits that I am frankly unimpressed with) I have been looking around and seeing alot of references to jet fins and turtle fins, people preferring one to the other. I am familiar with jet fins, since they are one of the fins I am considering, but I am unfamiliar with turtles. I did a search to pull up photos and they look VERY similar to the jets. What is the difference between the two?

My Turtles are shorter and wider than the Jets. The foot pocket also tends to be larger. I don't prefer one to the other, I use the fin that fits the suit I am wearing.
