OMS Slipstream vs Hollis F-1

[Cruiser24]

checked them out at my local dive shop and found the oms slipstream to be identical to sp jetfins. the shape and design totally identical. the only difference being the materials used. haven't had the chance to see the hollis f-1 yet.

That's the main difference, although they are close in the shape they have different buoyancy characteristics.

I dive with F-1s in my drysuit and find them comfortable, efficient and controllable. I really like them.

However, when I got a smaller pair do wetsuit diving, I found them to be too negatively buoyant and they impacted my trim.

I sent them back to Scuba Toys for a pair of Slipstreams, which I should receive shortly. I'll report back when I've had a chance to try them out.

Alas, I just found out that Slipstreams in my size are backordered, until June!

I've never tried the Hollis fins, they're too heavy for me, but the Slipstreams make backing up so easy I feel vaguely guilty. I got a second pair in case anything ever happens to my primary pair.
