Don't let anyone on here tell you what to pick. Pick the ones you want. This is your gear that you have to be comfortable in.

There are many other types of fins out there. I would look around. Those fins you have listed are pretty heavy fins and can make a never diver tired easily.

i have a pair of beuchat powerjet fins , but i accidentally steeped on the tip of one of them and the side band got broken. as it was made of plastic and rubber, i am now looking for all rubber fin that is powerful and not so long. i am asking mainly about the quality

I did not realize that Scubapro Jetfins were "military" fins? I have no idea what the military use but the One and Only, the fins I hate to love and love to hate, the Scubapro Jetfin has been my go to fin for 30 or 40 years, something like that and I am just a plain ol' civilian. They are pretty tough fins, a shark bit one of mine but he spit it back out so I put it back on, good to go. It was kinda like that anyways .

You may be like me. I found my fins to be heavy and messed up my trim. I got some oms slipstream fins from cave adventures iirc. They are the same but neutral buoyancy.

Me too, my jets are too heavy for my chicken legs no matter how much I play with my trim I continue to tip feet end. I'm hoping my new drysuit will solve this issue or I guess I'll be selling them.

turtle fins have right stiffness and are softer than scubapro jet fins

The "What size should I buy?" thread - fins..

Many people on the board brag about how good Jetfins are, but I suspect most of them are dry suit divers that want the weight to offset the buoyancy in their feet. The are also using boots which require XL or larger fins that have a larger fin blade. There is a major size difference between L and XL in the size of the fin not just the foot pocket. A large or smaller is not going to have the thrust these divers brag about. If you are diving wet I would go with a lighter fin.

I have the scubapro jet fins. After purchase and some limited use, I noted they seem to come in two lengths. Mine are the longer fins and I find them great to use, but heavy as equipment. I have already decided that once I have a full kit, I will replace the heavier fins with a lighter pair for travel.

 

[ams511]

Besides coming in different lengths, they also use different materials based on the country of manufacture. The US jets are stiffer and heavier than the Taiwan jets.
