    Turtle fins vs. Power fins

    Just looking for some input on the practical, inwater differences between the turtle fin and the power fin.

    It looks like there was a similar thread a few months ago. Not much in the way of responses, but it seems that the main difference is foot pocket size. Anyone use a power fin with drysuit boots?

    Have you considered JetFins? I've owned Jets and Turtles... Jets are my favorites.

    From the attached photo, it looks like "power" fins ARE Jets. Maybe my eyes are just going bad, though.

    Jets are my favorites as well.

    I haven't tried jets, maybe I'll give them a closer look.
