Hey guys,
I've done some searching and I think this might be an easy answer but I'm just not sure. I recently switched to diving dry (Scubapro Evertec 4) and have only done a pool lesson, and a 10ft checkout dive. I have a few things to change and learn but an issue both times was feeling the circulation in my feet go almost out completely.
In the pool: My fins from all my wetsuit diving were tight but I thought they fit well enough. Taking them off seemed to relieve the problem which obviously points to needing new fins at a larger size. Easy. I got some last week and that's when I went on my 10ft checkout dive.
Checkout dive: My new fins actually have a little extra space unfortunately side-to-side so I'm looking into the finkeeper things. But, seeing as there's extra space, I thought there would be no way my feet would feel tight but on the surface I felt like I was losing circulation again. I'm only wearing typical white socks inside the wetsuit and then Rock Boots. The Rock Boots are slightly difficult to get into but once on they feel like a perfect length and width. However, I think the overall volume might be too small to stuff all the sock/wetsuit material into the boots.
Should I just try to get different sized Rock Boots? Wouldn't they then be too long even though all the material might fit in them? What about getting air to my feet? I know I don't want air there so I don't shoot to the surface uncontrolled but wouldn't that relieve the pressure some?
Thanks for your time.
