Question Tusa Hyflex Fins

[Khoujo1]

Hey everyone, I have Tusa Hyflex switch fins that have been great. Recently on a drift dive in Mexico, however, there was a strong current that seemed to overpower me. Some divers with other fins (Apeks) seemed to handle it better. Anyone have experience with the Hyflex Pro blades? I’m thinking of swapping them out for the increased power. Any potential downside to making the change?

I have those fins and then went to the RK3 regular. The RK3s are quite floppy so I think you only see a marginal change. The RK3s also positively buoyant while the Tusas are negative so you might want to keep that in mind. The HD versions are negative but have never used them. I then went to the Jet Fins and they have worked well for me. Also, technique plays a huge part.

The Tusa are great fins for a flutter kick and for travel since they come apart. The Pro fin blades are nearly the cost of a set of fins. I would buy a different set of fins rather than the pro blades. Good luck.
