Thread: Fin opinions?

  1. #1

    Default Fin opinions?

    I was wondering what everyone's fin of choice is currently? I have a small set of jet fins that just aren't cutting it anymore in flow/with stages. I like the dive rites and have been told the Hollis fins are decent as well. Bring on the opinions.

    I have been using Turtles for years when using my drysuit. Been diving a rebreather for several years now and find myself feet low. In openwater not much of a problem, but is a problem in caves. I'll be back in Florida next month and have hauled out my old Mares Quattro's.
    If those don't do the trick I'm looking at the fin from Dive-Rite along with what OMS offers. The OMS have a very attractive pirce point. Something like $70.00

    +1 on the newer Dive Rite EXP fins... I'm hooked and sold my jets and rockets...

    +1 for Mares Quattros, especially in sidemount and OW.. Jets for backmount and Hollis F1's for dry, thus far..
    I've heard good things about the DR EXP's but haven't tried them on yet.

    I have small feet, so I end up in L Jets. They don't have very big blades, and I end up kicking a lot more than my buddies. Last trip to FL, Edd talked me into trying the Dive Rite EXPs. I really like them -- same foot pocket, but longer blades, and stiff enough to get a lot of drive.

    I use the newer EXP's but I do find them lacking on the thrust my Slipstreams had. I feel I have a bit tighter control for the smaller fin movements though with the EXP's.
