Mares Quattro's work well. I use them with size 12.

The turtle fin and the scuba pro jet fin with the big pocket works well. :D

I wear size 11....XL jet fins do not work, Turtle fins do. That's all I've tried. Turtles, in case you didn't know, are basically XXXL versions of Jet fins.

I use XL Mares Quattros with size 10 DUI Rock Boots. They should also work well for size 11. My Quattros are almost neutrally buoyant, so they work well for me. My Jet fins are a lot more negatively buoyant, so I prefer my Quattros in a cave environment.

I have several sets of SP Jet Fins, I thought I saw another set, at a LDS, that had a bigger foot pocket, do I have this right that they make different sizes of foot pockets???? :?:

So SP finally figured out that they were losing tons of sales and started making one with a bigger foot pocket than the XL? Awesome. Now there is even one more choice for those of us that have to wear the gargantuan Rock Boots.

Actually the military requested the larger foot pocket. If they had not then we would never have gotten it.

Dive Rite has new XL fins

The XL Dive Rite fin was made for someone with a 14EEE size foot (The man who couldn't stay dry, a.k.a. Jim). It will fit those of you who wear the Rock Boots and comes with S/S fin straps already installed. Right now it's available only in black. I don't think anyone will be disappointed with these fins - they offer great propulsion and are much lighter than the S-pros and Turtles.

I'll second that Jordan......I used the Jets for a long time and just recently switched to the DR's.....however I still like the Jets for "small passage" since they have a smaller surface area.

Did you and Matt have a good dive last night?

Safe diving,

Kind of a good dive.

I had a great dive until about 10 minutes in when me mask went foggy. It was still a good dive after that, I just had to do everything while trying to see through fog. Scootering in a cave when barely being able to see was ahhhh, fun!

I use the Aqualung SuperRockets with size 10 rock boots--perfect fit.

A friend of mine uses an interesting type of defog.....it's made by Rain-X for the inside of your cars windows. He puts that on his mask before a weekend of diving, and keeps the inside of his mask as dry as possible for the weekend. Works great for him. I'm a bit hesitant to try it because I think it might irritate my very sensitive eyes.
