    I believe Boogie711's spring straps would mount on that fin.

    Likewise the E-Z Spring strap.

    Life is short. Break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love deeply, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that makes you smile.

    Not everyone who reads SB is looking to learn how best to use their new snorkel. Some are here just hoping to get the chance to tell someone else exactly what they can do with their new snorkel. While others are trying to sell their old snorkel. (gypsyjim)

    Those fins have quick-release straps, which will limit your spring
    strap options greatly. Be sure that what you get will work with
    them.

    The spring heels made for jet fins, which are by far the most
    common type of spring heels, won't work -- they need a hole
    to go though. Looks like the Boogie711s and E-Z Springs will,
    as will the Mantas.

    I have Apollo fins with similar QRs. I made my own spring heels
    fins similar to the E-Z Springs. I've got a web page describing
    what was necessary pretty much done -- I'll try to get it in a
    public place tonight.

    I have a pair of Mares Volo Power fins and drilled a hole through the posts and attached a spring fins (bought $5 cheaper on eBay). Best move I ever made.
