Knee issue while diving

Except it didn't.

Maybe. Nothing says that the torn meniscus is causing this issue, could be something completely different

When learning diagnostic skills in medical school I was taught that when you hear hoof beats in the woods you don't think of zebras.

Find your nearest scuba instructor and have him/her write you a prescription for a dive scooter.

Now that's the best idea I have heard yet!

You might try modifying your Mares fins to a scoop fin design. Your avanti quattro fins have a dead spot just beyond the toes, which increases the load on the knee. I've worked on this concept for decades, and the scoop design is more efficient than a straight blade, or even the Quatro design. You need to replace the center of the fin with a flexible interior, which at the toe is straight across, but then goes to a full semicircle design at the end of the fin. This "scoops" the water out the back of the fin, and reduces a lot of the strain on the knee. You can see the difference on the Voit Viking fins I modified in the 1970s. You can see the number of fins I've evaluated over the years (and that photo is not complete). If you need more information, PM me.
