XXL Jets or Super Rockets

[Chris Sawallich]

This question has probally been asked and answered many times, but my search skills have really not come up with any good answers...

Just went dry and Rock Boots (size 12) well the XL Jets do not fit, not to my suprise with SP's weird sizing.. anyway. I do not want to switch from the Jets, but the XXL's scare me.. What are feelings beteween the XXL Jets vs the Super Rockets?? I love my Jets, but the thought of buying a utility trailer to travel with my new Super Size Value Meal Fins kind of turns me off, and is steering me towards the super rockets..

I dive the SuperRockets with size 11 Rock Boots and they fit perfectly. The SuperRockets II are even more comfortable (new model). I own both and very much prefer the II model.

The SuperRockets are pretty much sized right between the XL Jets and XXL Jets.

If you decide on the super rockets, keep in mind that know someone getting rid of a pair. Only used a few times.

Very noticeable. The foot pocket in the new II version is deeper and extends out across the bottom of your foot for better leverage and less rubbing on the sides and top of the feet. Also it already has vent holes in the foot pocket so they don't suction onto your rock boots during the dive. I believe the rubber composition is a little different as well, the newer model is negatively buoyant, but not as much so as the original.

The blade is nearly identical, only slight cosmetic difference. I find no difference in propulsion performance, but a great difference in comfort on the foot. This of course means that some folks with defective feet will find the original more comfortable.

Any AquaLung dealer can order them for you.
