Need lite travel fins

[slackercruster]

Need lite travel fins for bare foot-no booties. For snorkeling and diving. Prefer split design.

What is good?

My wife loves her Mares Volo Race Full Foot fins. They are very light. I have ancient Mares open heeled fins that are bigger, stiffer and weigh a ton. She has no difficulty keeping up with me. Not splits, however, but are so flexible that they probably behave somewhat like splits.

Like SP Jets but much lighter..........

ForceFin Originals, Pros, or if you really want Splits the Foil Force. But I recommend the Pros, they are about $220 from Scuba.com or cheaper on ebay. The Pro will feel similar to the splits that you are used to but provide better propulsion at lower work loads and an absolute lack of cramping. Surface swimming effectively takes a little practice but is very effective once you have mastered it. Weight under 3# per pair, and about 18" long making them some of the easiest to pack scuba fins available. To be really smart, order them to fit your 3mm booties and get a pair of comfort insteps to wear them barefoot, one fin does it all.

I agree with the Force Fins. I have taken mine all over the world and they have given me years of good service.

There are a number of good fins out there that are a full foot split fin design. Try something like the Oceanic V-6 split fin, Atomic also makes a split fin that is a full foot design.
