Light but good stiff blade fins?

[Ayisha]

Thank you Buddhasummer. Wow, and my feet are considerably smaller than yours. A ladies size 5 is a size 3 youth. The jetfins seem good for me, when I have to do long swims, we'll see how I handle them. Thanks for giving Hollis feedback.

May I suggest a smaller universal spring strap for you? That's how I got my current/previous fins to fit snugly without any wobbling. My XS Scuba spring straps are 8"/20cm, but they also come in 10"/25cm and longer. You can see them at http://www.leisurepro.com/Catalog.a...rand=XS Scuba&Page=1&Term=spring straps&Hit=1

Hi Ayisha, thanks for the reply. With your size even if you used a smaller spring I dint think the F2s would fit you, the foot pocket is very generous.

For my size 6 a 26cm spring on the F2s would be ideal used with the smallest settings on the F2s. I sourced a 25cm spring but it was either a tad too loose or a tad too tight on depending on setting. I contacted Hollis they advised in September that they would be coming out with an alternate 26cm spring in October. That never eventuated and in March they sent me a 24cm spring which did the trick.

I too use Jets, the M was too tight, I bought a L and use the 8" XS scuba springs.

Having small feet can be a nuisance when it comes to fins, for me exacerbated by the fact that I generally need to buy online. I had the same issues with masks until I found the Atomic Aquatic frameless in medium, suits I need to have custom made.

Anyway thanks for taking the time to reply.

Safe diving.
