ID These Fins

[bn2hnt]

I just picked up a pair of fins, well pretty much stole them. They are Identical in every way to Scuba Pro Jet fins, except the only markings on them are the size of the fin. There is a small circle on the top of the foot pocket where the Scuba Pro label would have been, and there is a metal grommet in the blade at the tip in the dead center. They cost me $20, and had brand new straps on them so I couldn't pass up the deal. Anyone have an idea who the manufacturer is? Not that it matters as I have had them in the water and they perform flawlessly, just curious.

How about "IST Deep Sea Scuba Diving Military Fins - Rubber Rocket?" They're on Amazon - they lack the rubber grommet, but have the plain circle. My guess is that the grommet was an add-on. Check out the customer uploaded picture below.

Looks pretty close, except the ones I picked up have more pointed ends on the blades instead of the rounded ones. Trying to get a pic to upload to my computer, but they might be the IST Rockets, just an older version.

Ok, after some research and many thanks to TheRealScubaSteve, these are indeed not jet fin clones, but exact replicas of Aqualung Rocket fins. Not sure why I didn't think about them being rocket clones, could be the concussion I am recovering from. However, now that I know that, and considering there are no other markings on the fins at all, Iv'e come to the conclusion I will never know who made them, as there were many clones made of those fins. Oh well, for the price of new straps, I think I got a great pair of fins.

Rockets are jet clones though...
