My Turtle fins are too heavy when I'm wearing a wetsuit making it extremely hard, if not impossible to keep my feet from sinking. I was told that somewhere there is a fin that is a bouyant Turtle style/Jet style fin that would hopefully help me keep proper trim. Is anyone aware of where to look or have any suggestions?

Thanks:idk:
 
I use Turtle with drysuit and OMS slipstream with wetsuit. This is what I found to be the best match.
 
I'll look into the OMS Slipstream. I also heard that Diverite makes a lighter fin. A friend mentioned that there was a turtle style fin that was actually bouyant. I'm quite negative with my rebreather so I would like to cut some weight at my feet if I can, rather than add more on top.

Thanks again!
 
You could always look into the Scubapro Jets or even the Hollis F1 fin which is little lighter than both but they are all still negative
 
Bought the OMS Slipsteams and I really love them. My feet stay up nicely with my wet suit. I've bought a second pair XXL for my drysuit now, and will transfer my springs over from my Turtle fins. Thanks to you all for the great advice!
