I would like to know more about Turtle Fins. Who makes them? Sizes?
Do they really fit large feet. Anybody use them on here?:mean: :bounce:
 
Loggerhead, Inc? Hawksbill Enterprises? Or perhaps it was Riddley's Unlimited?
 
I have a set that I use with my drysuit. They come in one size and the foot pocket is a fair amount larger than the pocket in a set of XL jetfins. If I remember right the manufacturer is IDI. They will fit very large feet. They are just about too big for my current suit. I bought them when I was using a neoprene dryuit that had boots larger than what I have now. A worthwhile update is to either buy or build a set of spring straps and put them on in place of the rubber straps.

Thanks for the info so far. I'd like to get a web site from the makers,
or a site that would have more info on these fins. I have size 14
feet and dive dry. My Harvey's dry suit Aqua Capsul has big boots that
will not fit my BIO fins. I tried SCUBA Pro Twin Jet fins largest size and
got a set of springs for them...didn't work. My other suit a DUI CF 200
will work with the BIO's and rock boots but they are VERY tight.;-0
 
Thanks Hawk! They don't show any local dealers here in Washington
State...at least on this side of the Mountains. The pictures of the fins
on the site will not load on my 'puter for some reason. :boom:
 
Also check out the fifth dimension site. They are somewhere in Seattle. I think it is fifthd.com or something like that. They don't have the fins on the website but they do sell them, so you'll have to ask. I'm waiting for a pair myself.

I'll check both places out. I bought my springs at 5th Dimention in
Kent WA.:)
 
Extra large Scubapro Jet Fins (not the split fins). Turtle fins is the name given to the smaller sizes of Jet Fins due to their shape. The blades are quite a bit smaller in the smaller sizes.
