Question Retrofitting Scubapro Jet Fins from Rubber to Spring Strap, Which Brands Are Recommended? (2024 Update)

[Dermochelys]

I'm getting back into diving after a long absence. I have a pair of Scubapro Jet Fins with the original rubber straps, and I'd like to retrofit them with spring straps. Looking on the forum, I see three brands commonly mentioned in older posts.

I was just wondering, are other newer brands that might not have been mentioned in the past that I should be considering? Any preferences for which brand best works with the Scubapro Jet Fin?

The three brands I most often see listed here are
- Scubapro ~$59
- XS ~$80
- Hylacon ~$58

Thanks!

The Halcyon and Scubapro straps are basically the same. The main difference is that the Halcyon straps come in a couple of extra sizes and they have the Halcyon logo on them.

I chose "Other".

Can't get the Amazon link to load here for some reason but you can just go to Amazon and search...... Scuba Choice Scuba Diving Stainless Steel Spring Fin Straps Pin Style (Pair). $38 for the pair and 5 minutes to install. See past SB thread below...

Spring Straps for Scuba Pro Twin Jets

Just recently purchased a set of new SP Twin Jets from a member here and wanted to swap out to spring straps.. All of the info and you-tube's I could find online seemed to involve Dremel's and files and basically ruined the original stock strap connections.. Anyway, this is a piece of cake...

I have the OMS and the XS Scuba universals and prefer the OMS.
