Which Tech Fins - UK buyer

[Sebek]

These look great as a set of travel fins. Prefer something a little more negative with drysuit though. Certainly will look at these to replace my travel fins! Thanks!!

Tecline also has heavier jet fins for drysuit called PowerJet. Dive Fins Power-Jet | TecLine

I'm personally using Tecline PowerJet in medium stiffness and size L, they are comparable (or perhaps a bit heavier) to the SP jets, with Tecline L being somewhere between ScubaPro's XL and XXL pocket size.

Thank you - annoyingly they don't seem to do those in blue though - had a look at their site yesterday. Just the lightjets!

I had a look at the Fourth Element tech fins when I was in Scotland over Christmas / NY and was quite impressed with them.

The foot pocket was a tad tight when wearing UK size 8 boots with size L but was comfortable with XL

They are heavy, but I didn't weight them.

For travel Hollis F2s are excellent.

Hi all!

Am looking at a new set of tech fins and trying to decide. Being in the UK certain brands are sadly unavailable (Deep 6) so I've narrowed the choice down a little. Also to make life difficult, I want a set of blue fins - partly vanity and the joy of accessorising, partly for easy identification underwater.

Will be almost exclusively used with a drysuit so preferably negatively buoyant or neutral at worst.

Choices currently are:
- Fourth Element Tech Fins
- ScubaPro Jet Fins
- Dive Systems Tech Fins

Although I may be missing some obvious choices. My nearest dive shop is miles away so not easy to go and try them annoyingly. When travelling recently I was diving with a local Rec centre's ScubaPro Go Fins (not sure which version but they weren't that light so maybe not the Travel) and I found the foot pocket a little uncomfortable - but they maybe an entirely different shape to the Jet Fins.

These wont need to fly anywhere so not worried about the weight. Wondered what experience people have had with the above? Can't seem to find any review / experience of the Dive System ones (an Italian business)

rk3 !

I’m a 9 so definitely an XL in the FE by the sounds of it

Positive and no blue option! Otherwise great fins if a little floppy
