Size of turtle fin on size 11-12 rock boots?

[globaldiver]

I am purchasing Scubapro Jet Fins or IDI Turtle fins with Halcyon spring straps, to use with my CF 200 DUI dry suit. What size Turtle fins should I get to fit my size 11 rock boots?

I have also played with the idea to have DUI glue on the old style sole on my suit and skip the rock boots altogether. Less gear to don...

Any experienced input?

Sincerely

From what i understand turtle fins come in one foot pocket size.....huge!! I looked into buying a set once but prefer my apollo split fins.Im slowly moving towards the tech side of diving and will probably buy a set some day.

As far as your drysuit.I have a bare hd and love my trek boots(equivalent to the dui rock boots)I would never buy another drysuit with built in boots.Confer with uncle pug on this issue as he is a drysuit wiz and full of useful knowledge and doesnt mind sharing what he knows or opinions.Goodluck!!

Yep, Turtles come in only 1 size, the Jets come in L & XL.
Not familiar with the rock boots in your size, suggest you track someone down & try on a pair of the XL Jets or Turtles.
IDI also makes a good Jet copy. (SP's patent ran out)
Best price on Turtles: http://covci.com

You'll be much happier with the Turtles using size 11 rock boots.

Are the Turtle fins the same as the IDI Power fins?

IDI's Power Fins are the Jet Fin clone.
They really do call the Turtles "Turtle Fins".

Thanks. I have used Mares Plana Avanti Quattro's previously, and have been very happy with them, but since I mostly use frog kicks these days I think the Turtles will be even better.

I picked up a pair of Turtles yesterday directly from IDI.

Thanks for all your input and info.

Beware.. turtles are stinky (really)!

I let mine sleep out in my truck overnight... for awhile and that helped a little. Also keep them in a mesh backpack.... so the odor does not build up too much.

The buckles are.... well.... just replace them with springs.
