    Dry Suit Rock Boots & Fins

    I just got a Vare Next Gen Dry Suit, and have Rock Boots side 11. I am having a HARD time finding fins that fit the rock boots. I have Oceanic Viper fins that I used with wet suits and high top boots, but they do not fit, I goat set of Aqua Lung Rocket Fins, and they seam to not fit as well. Can anybody help?

    I had to upsize 1 when I went to rock boots.

    I have size 11 rock boots and use XL fins with XL straps or LL in Apollo

    Scubapro makes an XL Jetfin in two styles, one with an enormous foot pocket designed to accommodate large and bulky drysuit boots. You need to make sure that you're not just looking at the "standard" XL. The overall length and blade size of the two fins are the same. It's only the size of the foot pocket that's different.

    Take a look at Aqualung Rocket II-Super (12+). I have a Regular with a Rockboot size 8 and despite the size recommendation there is not much left on strap to accomodate probably a size 10 boot.

    I'm using HOG Tech fins, XXL with my boots and I have plenty of room. HTH.

    If you haven't done it, please think about supporting SB, this is a great place to hang, and as a supporter it's only $3.95/mo. Just go to the "community" tab and "Go red". Thanks!

    Do you need the rock boots? Why not set them aside and use standard neoprene booties? Cheaper than new fins.
    Being open-minded should be painful.
