My buddy was just telling me about the new jet fins from scubapro(just called jet finsII), but I can't seem to find them anywhere on the web. Could somebody let me know if this is for real, and if so what is the difference and advantage to the change. Seems like they have been popular for this long, why change now? thanks for the info.
 
Here in Austin Texas, I've seen JFII in five dive shops.
They are a "propeller" split fin version of originals.
Just bought a pair of Aqua Lung split "propeller" fins.
If I hadn't tried them I wouldn't have believed it.
Better than 1st generation Jet/Rocket fins....and less expensive.
Had a pair of Rockets in the seventies.
I thought I was imagining things when I first went
zooming throught the water a half the effort.

This sounds like the Twin Jet fins...could the "Jet Fin 2" just be another name used for the Twin Jet fins?
 
I wonder if your talking about the fins I saw about a month ago? try going to the SP site for Japan, they may be the ones your looking for. They look like a hopped up version of the old jets kind of neat looking they call them jet fin REVO but dont know anything other than that,

Interesting...here's the link with a photo of the Jet Fin REVO.
 
Has anyone actually tried the Scubapro Jet Fin REVO?
 
Im not really sure there available in the us. Aside from the web site I have never seen them, they might be crap, but they look cool!

Paradiver,

Are these the same fins you saw in Austin?
