traveling fins gift?

I just read the thread about fins and was just curious if anyone can give me some input to help me buy a christmas present for my father. He's a master scuba diver, but when he goes on vacation with my mom, they just snorkel. He pushes snorkeling to the limits(won't see him for a few hours at times), so I'm trying to decide what traveling fins to get him for. He's tired of lugging around his oversized gear. I was looking at the us divers trek fins, but I don't know anything about this stuff and would be soo thankful to anyone that can help me figure this out. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

couple of suggestions... go for full foot fins, not the ones with straps.. consider going 1 size over shoe size and getting a pair of 2 or 3mil neoprene socks (not booties) to go with them. Better hurry.... not much time left

I knew a guy in my club that had the variant (http://www.diveoz.com.au/gear_reviews/display_review.asp?rid=17)
He liked them, they fit in a small bag.

In response to your question about fins...leisurepro.com has the aqua sphere zip fins which are smaller, split fins. i've heard good things about split fins, but nothing really about this pair. they're decently priced at like $25. Hope this helps...
