Howdy, I'm sure you're awfuly tired of new (VERY) folks asking for opinions about gear....but, I've been running myself ragged searching reviews of snorkeling fins. I'm really new but want to buy a good pair of fins that don't need to be replaced anytime soon. There aren't many dive shops around the area, and after seeing what they have to offer in-store...I'm buing on-line!
I went back and forth between getting split fins (Atomic) and a paddle fin...but, since my technique is lame I figured a paddle fin might suit me better. I did purchase a pair of full foot Mares Volo Race fins...after a suggestion from a friend and some fairly good reviews. No, I hadn't tried them on, but the price was really too good to pass up. So, I got them. But, I wouldn't mind having a second pair if you all really think I made a mistake. Mind you, I'll be snorkeling only a few times a year and in warm water. Any ideas? Thanks a ton!
