If you want good fins for diving in current, look toward the freediving fins. They are pricy, but the freediving fins are the only ones that don't suck when it comes to converting power into thrust at speeds above 1/3 knot. Dive-R makes some excellent composite blade fins.
what fins are these?

[/COLOR]Buddhasummer, I had a guy contact me saying he had scubapro"jet" fins. not the twins. They are older and he's asking $10...would I be wasting my time with these or are these any good? They look like aqualung super rockets

Dude for $10 go for it. You are not losing much if you don't like them. You can ebay them for more than that.

I own some large jets. I'm not a big fan and hardly wear them anymore. The blade is relatively small so I find it hard to generate much power when I need to. I also find them a little heavy and have to move my tank way up when wearing them. But as ams511 says for $10 can't really go wrong.

Went out yesterday and today and forgot them both times. Wish I brought them though as viz was shocking. I'll definitely take them out next week and post back.
