SCUBAPROGO Sport Diving Fins

I am an avid diver in the Pacific Northwest and I like to keep a full gear set in my truck for my more impromptu dives, and considering that kit is always there and not always used, it is preferable that gear set be smaller, lighter, and more compact than my primary gear set. I had been lugging around some much heavier and longer fins, and bought these to replace them as they would fit IN my gear bag, rather than strapped TO it. That was my intended usage for these fins, but after diving them, these have now become my primary fins. They have replaced a set of F1 fins from a well known diving brand, which I have also loved and also featured an elasticated heel strap--a luxury I will never go without, and if you haven't tried I can't recommend enough! These fins are amazingly comfortable and lightweight, with SLIGHTLY positive buoyancy characteristics. (If you let go of them underwater they will float upwards, but just ever so slowly.). I generally dive in a hefty wetsuit rather than dry, and I prefer these fins for wetsuit diving. (In the drysuit, I still prefer a more negative fin.) They work equally well with flutter kicks as frog kicks and I find even though they are a little less powerful than some of my longer, stiffer fins, I generally prefer the more compact blade the Scubapro GO SPORT provides as it is easier to maneuver in tighter spaces and overhead environments, and the power difference that is sacrificed is minimal.My only complaint is a personal one-- When packing, kitting up, and kitting down I have grown accustomed to stowing my smaller accessories like my backup light and my computer in the foot pockets of my fins to keep them safe and from accidentally turning on. That is a no-go with these as the foot pocket has an open toebox and your expensive gear would just fall out. Not a design flaw by any means, just something to be aware of if you also sometimes stow things in your fins.

I was a bit concerned about the size after reading reviews about them running big, but took a chance with the XL and was lucky that it worked out. I wear a US men's size 12-13 with a normal width and the XL works for me with 5mm rubber sole booties on. I probably could have gone with a large and been alright too with as big as they are, so if you're an 11-12ish I would definitely go with the L or maybe even an M. Looking at them when they arrived was a bit scary, the foot well looks massive, but my booted foot fits just snug enough that there is no bouncing around inside them when I swim. The bungee strap heel is very easy to use and comfortable, far better than the typical straps like goggles use. Because of how big they are, the heel strap is not particularly tight, but it still holds well and I have not had it slip at all.

Sehr gute Flossen und sehr gut zum Reisen geeignet

Used 3 times snorkelling and for a 3 dive trip. They work great and fit in my bag for travelling. I haven't been able to figure out how to remove the fin strap so I can put on the clip to connect them to my BC, but I can't take off stars for that.
