90% of the time I'm drysuite Hollis F1s work for me. If I'm south in wetsuit I use Mares Quattro

Have you used Jet Fins? How do they compare in the water?

The Quattro fins are decently longer. Curious to know how that affects things.

Jet fins vs Hollis F1s are similar in weight but I prefer the F1s as there is more power to be had out of them. They're pretty similar fins, though.
 
regarding the quattros, I have a set of similar mares fins, and my normal fins are Dive Rite XT's. they work very well, but I'm looking forward to trying to Deep6 fins to go back to the Jet Fin style blade. You get some crazy acceleration with the XT's but I'm sure that's more a function of how stiff they are compared to the jet fins that are rather floppy, especially in the larger sizes
