Scubapro Go-Sport vs Go-Sport Gorilla

[lowwall]

You can purchase ABS sheet on Amazon and cut your own inserts.

Lots of DIY possibilities. If I thought it was necessary, I'd probably just cut a pickleball in half and shove it in there.

I've just fingered a few, rubber usually dull black heavier feels, smells like rubber your obviously plastics
shiny can smell like plastic be fused to rubber channels and pockets the monprene ScubPro stuff smells
like the Scubapro shop, different thicknesses and flexibilitys fused to each other, Eddys similar materials
don't smell, the coloured fins are all much firmer than plain black, so just like rubber they all come in all
sorts of shores and I think now rubber being natural and the ability now to get close with plastic and no downsides, keep you rubber to show your grandchildren, I have some monpeneish fins, from 30 yrs ago

Hi everyone!

I'm new to diving, with only 5 dives under my belt and a PADI Open Water certification.

I live in a tropical region, and almost all of my dives are on wrecks, sometimes in strong currents.

I'm considering buying the Scubapro Go Sport Gorilla Fins, but I have a few questions:

1. How well do these fins perform in strong currents?
2. Can they be used without boots? I saw that the Scubapro Go Travel fins can be used without them.
3. Unfortunately, I’ll have to buy them online without the chance to try them on or return them. My US shoe size is 9.5. Would size M be a good fit for use without boots (if that’s possible) or with 3mm boots?

Thanks for all the help!

How well do these fins perform in strong currents?

I just received my Go Sport Gorilla fins and have 4 dives on them so far. They are noticeably stiffer than the original Go Sport (I had one Gorilla fin on one foot and the regular Go Sport on the other on one dive) but NOT hugely stiff (a good thing for me). I swam in moderate current with them no issues but not a "strong" current. In a "strong" current I'd not fight the current at all, I'd go with the current. This applies irrespective of what fins I have on.

Can they be used without boots? I saw that the Scubapro Go Travel fins can be used without them.

They aren't supposed to be used without boots, they are supposed to be used with boots on. I can't imagine using them without boots.

Unfortunately, I’ll have to buy them online without the chance to try them on or return them. My US shoe size is 9.5. Would size M be a good fit for use without boots (if that’s possible) or with 3mm boots?

I am US 10.5 wide shoe size (45 EU) and wear size 11 dive boots (the ones with thick soles). I am consistently size XL with SP fins. I can fit into size L SuperNova fins but my foot sticks slightly out than with the XL fins (not a big issue for me). I use 6mm, 5mm and 3mm boots with thick soles with my XL fins.


What dive boot size do you use? You are probably between fize size M and L but more like size L depending on the boot sole thickness. I would NOT go barefoot with these fins.


I got the ORANGE Go Sport Gorilla fins btw. Great for visibility above and below surface.

I wear size 9 full soled 6mm boots and the large fits perfect. Wouldn't even think about wearing them without boots. Don't worry about wearing "more" boot than you think you need. I wear cold water boots on tropical dives and appreciate the added stability of a full soled boot on reduced foot fatigue and when walking in them. You will never hear a diver say "my feet are too hot".

Dude "my feet are too hot".

Nah, but I love ScubaPro but I am ScubaPro after Mr BoltSnap of course

But if it's the most comfortablest fin you want to buy Franco Cozzo is a not too far away

It's this type fin you want to buy

100% ^^^^
I can't imagine climbing up a boat ladder with full gear barefoot or with a thin soled boots especially when the boat is rocking and rolling in a "lively" sea. I would not consider walking barefoot from shore sand or rocks with full scuba kit. Thick sole boots for me no matter what. I won't even consider the less expensive thin soled ones.

Like I mentioned, I'm still a newbie with only 53 dives under my belt and I'm still PADI Open Water.

I'm starting to upgrade my gear. Right now, I use Cressi Pluma fins, and my dive buddies say my slightly higher air consumption might be because my fins are too flexible and bend too much when I do flutter kicks.

That's why I'm interested in the SP Go Sport Gorilla. But since we dive from a boat in tropical weather, I really want to avoid using boots. They'd just be one more piece of gear to wash when I get home, plus I've heard about issues with boots smelling bad...

Do you think the SP Go Travel, which is made to be used barefoot, would be a good alternative? Has anyone tried them? Are they really different from the SP Go Sport?

Como mencionei, ainda sou um novato com apenas 53 mergulhos no currículo e ainda sou PADI Open Water.

Estou começando a atualizar meu equipamento. No momento, uso nadadeiras Cressi Pluma, e meus companheiros de mergulho dizem que meu consumo de ar um pouco maior pode ser porque minhas nadadeiras são muito flexíveis e dobram muito quando faço flutter kicks.

É por isso que estou interessado no SP Go Sport Gorilla. Mas como mergulhamos de um barco em clima tropical, eu realmente quero evitar usar botas. Elas seriam apenas mais uma peça de equipamento para lavar quando eu chegasse em casa, além disso, ouvi falar de problemas com botas com cheiro ruim...

Você acha que o SP Go Travel, que é feito para ser usado descalço, seria uma boa alternativa? Alguém já experimentou? Eles são realmente diferentes do SP Go Sport?
