Just rec'd my new fins in. I was bummed snorkeling on a wreck in BVi's that was 28' of water and my regular split snorkeling fins were not getting it done for me.

Does anyone else use these?? Feedback??
I'm psyched up and am ready to try them out!
I have been using for 12+ years. They are very popular here is S. Florida with fhe Gulfstream's currents. If a buddy uses, so must the other fellow or team members. Otherwise, divers will be scattered all over...
Scott - One of the main reasons I got them was to snorkel your neck of the woods. My in-laws live down there and I take my flats boat down when we visit to snorkel all around that area.
I typically go to the artificial reefs just North of the inlet and the jetty's etc. Any other cool snorkel spots??
I use those fins when I go freediving and I've had great success with them. Usually for me I only wear a 3mil sock and it works great! They can be a bit clumsy on the surface compared to others, but once you start heading down getting to 30 or 50 ft is no problem with a proper kick cycle, just dont exceed your breathhold abilities
P.S: One of my favorite things to do with these fins is to just cruise along 2-3 ft below the surface going full throttle, you'd be amazed at how fast you can do with a good dolphin kick!

I am using the same fins, it offers the freediver and spearfisher the unique characteristics of lightness, performance of the Gara 3000 but with a more agile Blade.
I am looking to switch fins with a but more power, thanks for the heads up. Hubby has jet split fins and I do not like those at all. Too heavy for me. We dive in the same area along mid Florida and love to shore dive. Need a little extra power at times getting back in.
