SCUBAPROJet Diving Fin with Spring Heel Strap

Ottimo articolo,ben fatto nei dettagli. Vedremo sulla durata del materiale.

Habe meine Flossen heute bekommen. Allerdings fällt diese Flosse recht klein aus. Man sollte besser eine Nummer größer nehmen.

I purchased these fins for an upcoming dive trip, but I wasn't certain which size to get so I ordered a Large and an X-Large. I was a bit shocked by the difference in size between the two sizes. I don't have very big feet (size 10 dive boot, size 10.5-11 normal shoes size) and the "Large" wasn't anywhere near big enough. It was a very tight squeeze getting my dive booted foot (5mm) into the Large at all and then the spring strap would just barely get around the heel at full extension. Needless to say, there's no way I'd want that much spring tension on my heel for an extended dive. I'm inserting pictures so you can see the difference in size between the Large and X-Large including a shot that shows the printed sizes. I almost feel like the Large is stamped wrong. I'll be sending back the Large and Keeping the X-Large for my trip. I'm confident they'll perform wonderfully.

I am a North East diver and needed fins that were sturdy, these fit the bill.Upside: I got the 2XL, they are great for frog kicking, push me when I wear 4 tanks and the pocket fits over my Scuba Pro Exodry drysuit boots. They are also heavy so you may need to adjust your trim and drop a pound. The color makes me stand out when teaching classes in low visDownside: The spring strap is too tight. There is a limiting string inside that I cut but it was still too tight. I had some C Pin clips laying around so I made an adjustable system. Works like magic. If you don't mind plastic, the ScubaPro Twin Jet Scuba Fin Replacement Buckle Strap Kit sold here on Amazon may be an option. I also drilled a drain hole in the foot pocket because there was none.Bottom line: I looked at other similar (cheaper) fins but the foot pocket was always too small. Other then the spring strap and minor drain hole issue, they are solid fins.

These are the classic "tech" fin. Originally designed for military use in the 1960's used by recreational and technical divers ever since. They are negatively buoyant which helps when diving a drysuit to keep your feet from floating up. There are no drain holes in the foot pocket so you'll want to drill a few. They are bomb proof and as long as you don't lose them you should be able to use them for the rest of your life. The foot pocket is notoriously tight and they can be extremely difficult to remove which is very disconcerting especially if you're trying to get on board in high seas. The solution that I discovered is to use silicone spray lube in them. If you spray the inside with silicone lube before you don them they will slip right off when it's time.
