Wow....all I can say is WOW!
After a month of diving twinset with the XTs, I decided to dive my single tank rig while out on a boat dive. I also opted to take my Zeagle Recons and booties to see how they feel after the past month in rock boots and the XTs. I thought it would be cool to have a simpler grouping of kit for single tank dives.
Unbelievable. The Zeagle Recon fins felt like total mush. At the first kick on the descent, I already felt like I was overkicking them. I had to really open up my legs and exaggerate my frog kick to get them to perform. They just don’t respond to ankle inputs like the XTs. The contrast is significant.
I’m going to have to say Lamar is right in his video...the Dive Rite XTs are really, really good fins. The snap they have and the uncomplicated plane with the straked edges really make them a more universal fin, appealing to those who like to give precise input and receive precise output in return.
