    I could be mistaken, but those fins look a lot like XS Scuba Turtles, but they could be US Divers Rockets. They're *not* ScubaPro Jets, as Jets don't have the two "ribs".

    (Turtles *are* very popular with drysuit divers...)

    I'm quite sure it's the super rockets as there's a shot just before Jake jumps off the copter and you could clearly see 2 oval holes on the tips of the fin.

    They were the new style of AquaLung Rockets. These are available from several sources. They have a small hole in the center tip for hanging. I think I saw that in the movie as well. Rockets are pretty horrible fins, new or old, I have original Rockets, don't bother. N

    They're great for drift dives.

    I've heard several people say they tried Rockets and found them vastly inferior to Jets, but I have never taken that opportunity myself. (Jets are reportedly better, and they were cheaper, so hey.)
