Poll: What fins do you use?

[vixtor]

I would use a Jetfin.. but I cannot fit them when wearing rockboots (XL is too small, XXL is huge). So I use Hollis F1, and I can't tell the difference - except that the F1 plastic scratches more easily.

Up until tonight, I dove the Quattros.....tonight was the first time underwater with my new drysuit for which I was forced to buy Jets.....their pockets size was the only fin offered that fit my drysuit boot. My Quattros will remain a warm water OR wetsuit fin for me.

Get a BP/W!

Ok, before you all laugh, hear me out.
I have several pairs of fins for different types of diving.
Jets for the obvious, splits for rec, but..... the fins I'm using almost exclusively now are Omega Amphibian Flip Fins.
I use them so much that the others are now collecting dust.
I live in SE Fla and do alot of shore diving.
These fins are awesome.
At my favorite dive spot, the walk from where I stage my gear to the spot where I enter the water can be anywhere from 25 yards to just over 100 yards.
I just put these fins on... walk the beach to where I want to enter....walk in, pop in my reg, drop down and a quick kick locks em in place and off I go.
I put the fins on before any of my other gear.
It also saves me the time of having to stop in chest deep water to don my fins and hoping waves don't kick my @ss in the process.
These are also great for boat dives as I don't have to penguin shuffle on the deck. I can walk normally.
This also allows me to gear up completely and still have the mobility to help anyone else who needs it.
They draw alot of attention wherever I dive and I'm more than happy to let anyone give em a try.
I have nothing bad to say about these fins.

That has to be hard on suits stretching them over those fins . Are we allowed to laugh now? Actually I thought about getting them a while ago because it would be nice when I am carrying camera equipment......they had squat for distribution/sales in this area so I dropped it.

Another vote for the Seawing Novas! Hope they come out with a fullfoot version soon. Then it will be my only fin period.

No laughing here. I use the same fins, particularly when shore diving and at the Casino Dive park.

Nothing like walk in, kick and away you go. Upon returning, click, walk out. Nothing get easier than that. More importantly, they are a great fin to dive with. Great power and terrific control.

Well, I'd suggest picking it back up. You won't regret it.

The problem I have now is I just went DRY and I am severly limited in what fins I can dive because of the boot size vs fin pocket size. If they ever have true local sales/distribution then I will look into them.
