Lightweight tech fins

[DanBMW]

OMS Jets. Lightweight and fit well.

deep 6 eddy is best for most, hollis f1 LT a close 2nd. oms slipstreams if you don't hate the pocket. rk3/go sport/f2 aren't quite as much propulsion for pushing multiple tanks with some current.

Some of my friends have had bad luck with the Eddy foot pockets. I’m not sure if they have a high instep but I know multiple people who have had to either cut the top of the fin off or switch to a different fin.

My vote is for the Accel, I’ve used them with a rebreather and bailouts and while not the most power, it’s been fine.

How about the regular Mew if you want a lighter fin? I like rubber fins

I'll take a look into the Go Sport. It seems Go Sport - Storm - Accel are fairly similar, with Storm not needing booties (huge plus). I wonder how the Storm performs against the Go Sport and the Accel.

OMS Slipstream doesn't have size S.

I don't think I've come across any criticism of the Deep 6 Eddy other than the foot pocket, which is likely just a personal fit issue. Are there any drawbacks re: these fins?

me too!!! But they are very heavy and I don't want actual full foot fins.

I have both Mares Avanti Quattro+ and the Tecine Lightjet... they feel very similar in the water. Obviously, the Teclines are shorter and a touch wider, but just as powerful as the Mares. They weigh the same too: 2020 grams a pair (Regular/Large).

Why aren't slipstreams on your list? IMO the best all around light jet fin-style fins around

Whoops, just saw that they're not small enough

HOG Tech2? HOG Tech 2 Fin

My wife used to dive these before switching to Jets out of a need for a heavier fin for drysuit diving. I don't know how they compare with the other options you listed. I believe the HOG Tech2 is somewhat larger than the Hollis F2 that you say doesn't meet your needs, but the Tech2 is still a somewhat compact fin.

Used to dive the Hollis F1s until I went CCR, then rolled to Deep 6 for the lighter weight. Not quite as stiff as the F1s, but enough power to deal with CCR and bottles. I also tried ScubaPro Go Sports for a travel fin, but found they was no go! Ended up with another pair of Deep 6's, just a size smaller. I use rock boots and found the foot pocket was great for don/doff, and there was no issue with booties either. Just my 2 cents.

Eddys don’t come in small. It’s small/medium. How did they fit?

HOG Tech2? HOG Tech 2 Fin

I tried these fins. Very short! I had a picture of them next to my Eddys and they were a good bit shorter.
