need suggestions, help!!!

[Jim Ernst]

i bought the DUI tsl 350z dry suit and rockboots, i also got the mares black passion fins (i hate them,dont fit right) the fins that is, they seem to have no propulsion, and here is the main problem i so need help with, i can not find a set of fins to fit my big feet and the rock boots!! i love my old fins (mares planta avati) but they wont go on the rock boot far enough (xl size) and i cant find any power fins that will fit properly all to small!!! i am so close to trying to use my wet suit booties with my dry suit and my old fins, but i love the rock boots, i so need a fin with a large enough pocket to fit my big fat feet, i am a size 12 foot , any help would be so nice!!! thanks to all in advance

sounds like time for XXL Jet Fins Jim, have you thought about a BP/W?

I have size 11 feet and use the Jet fins with springstrap. You could try the Aqualung version (rocket). Has anyone thought about forcefins? Are they any good and if so which version?

Bring the boots to an Aqualung dealer, and give the Rockets a try. I had the SAME problem, and they fit like they were custom made to me.

oh boy... hereeeeeee we go..... i'd vote yes.... the XXL forceFin would be great... but i will admit... the XXL jet fin looks like you could fit a small SUV in there.... sometimes hard to find.... but http://www.scubaboard.com/showthread.php?t=137830

Jim,

I'm reeeeeeaaaaal new to D/S diving, but one thing I've found for sure, ya just can't seem to scoot about in a D/S as ya can in a W/S.

That may have something to do about how you're feeling.

Just a guess.

Now THAT'S the truth. When I go from wet to dry it's like dragging an anchor around with me! I love being warm, but im back to wet asap when temp's allow.
