new fins for a new diver

[Jef Martin]

I will be buying my first pair of Scubapro fins in a couple of weeks. I've narrowed my decision down to 3 choices, all near the same price at the local shop, the Twin Jet, the TJ Max and the Seawing Nova. I understand this is a personal choice and certain factors come into play when choosing a fin. What I'm looking for is the opinion of experienced divers who have tried the TJs and the Nova and can help me decide. I am dead-set on buying one of the 3, just don't know which yet. Thanks.

They are all good fins. I have a pair of Seawing Nova's and they work great, they are very light and generate a HUGE amount of thrust. If you are unsure, I would test dive each pair at the shop to get a better feel for each set.

thank you. "HUGE amount of thrust" sounds very appealing. From what I've been reading and hearing, the Nova seems the way to go.

Oh, yes, let the fun begin...I am stoked.
