    Turtle fins only came in one size, huge. They did offer inserts to make them fit smaller feet, but they are pretty hard to find these days. If you know where to get inserts, let me know!

    Turtles are now available in other sizes as well. I was quite surprised when I saw them in my dealer catalog. Whether or not they are currently available? I cannot answer, as I have not ordered any. Hopefully they are not "vaporware" like the M and L OMS Slipstream fins.

    They are pretty heavy. I can wear them with backmount, but I am too tail heavy in sidemount.

    Forrest I figured when that big beard got saturated youd be head heavy.
