THE GREAT DRYSUIT FIN THREAD - attached boots

[Scubaroo]

It seems that almost every day on ScubaBoard someone is asking what size fin they need for their drysuit boot. So in an effort to make a reference chart to help future drysuit divers with the same question, can all drysuit owners who are using attached boots with their drysuit, post a reply to this thread, filling in JUST the following information:

Drysuit brand:
Attached boot style:
Boot size (specify US/UK):
Fin model:
Fin size:
Spring strap brand (if used):
Spring strap size (if used):

There is a seperate thread being started for users of seperate boots.

So please only respond if you are using attached boots with your drysuit. If you have any questions, PM me directly rather than post in this thread, to keep this thread easy to read for future reference.

Eventually responses will be collated into a reference chart, and it will go into a boot/fin FAQ somewhere.

thanks!

Anything to help out,

Viking Xtreme size 0 / small (I can't remember) with XL jet fins (size 8 shoe), spring straps

Large fins don't cut it as I have a pair and had to move up to XL.

Best Regards
Don
