What do people take with them on trips in their save-a-dive kit in the way of spare straps if they are using the Hollis F2 fins? They do not look like any aftermarket straps would fit on them.

Any spring unless large diameter will fit. I used third party springs on mine when I dove them as the stock springs when they came out, 29cm, were too long even on smallest setting. Although springs can break it's quite rare. Personally I wouldn't worry about carrying spares. IIRF the replacement straps, complete set, are around $36, I could be wrong though. Contact DRIS if you want to confirm. FWIW I think the Hollis pull tabs are some of the best on the market. I also use Apollo pull tabs as they are relatively cheap and can be purchased seperately but the tab does snap on occasion.

I replaced the stock nuts and bolts with hex head stainless steel bolts and stainless steel nyloc nuts. They don't rust, look nicer IMO and are much easier to undo if the need should arise.
