Ten pairs
(3) Force Fins - FF, Adjustable, Extra Force
(2) Hollis - F2 (M/L and XL)
(1) Scubapro - Jetfins
(1) Mares - Avanti Quattro
(1) Cressi - Gara Modular for freediving
(1) OMS - Slipstreams
(1) Voit - full foot

I use Force Fins 99% of the time. You can have my Force Fins, IF you can pry them out of my cold, pruny, wet fingers! :D
Started with Mares Avanti Quattro.
 
My answer has not changed since 2012 except that I love my Xstremes. I can't believe that I've had them so long. They still look new to me.
 
I have 2 pairs of fins, Scubapro jetfins and Scubapro jetfins. :rofl3:
 
4

1 extra large and 1 small jetfin set for openwater and pool work
1 mares set and 1 monofin for finswimming
 
Six pairs:

2 pair vintage AMF Swimasters
1 pair Hollis F1
1 pair Hollis F2
1 pair Aeris Accels
1 pair Mares Avanti Quattro full foot
 
I own four pairs:

  • Scubapro Jet Fins - heavy/negative, great for diving doubles or other heavy steel tanks as they help trim me out
  • OMS Slipstream fins - neutrally buoyant. Bought them for single tank diving as the jet fins made me feet heavy with a light single tank
  • Turtle Fins - big foot pocket, bought for drysuit diving
  • TUSA fins - I may have lost them... bought these when I first started diving, clearly I don't dive them anymore
 
I own 2 pairs:
Turtle fins for my drysuit
Mares Avanti Quattro fins for wetsuit
 
Three pair

1) SP Novas - great for flutter kick but have a tendency to slice and yield excessively if one tries to frog kick

2) Zeagle Recons - improvement over the SP Novas and responsive to frog kicking but limited to single tank diving. They get mushy when driving a twinset and unacceptably so when one adds multiple deco tins.

3) DiveRite XT fins - < cue marimba melody from “Under the Sea” from The Little Mermaid >

I would like to try some ForceFins eventually after I get other essentials out of the way. I’ve had two instructors praise them highly.
 
2 pairs

I had a pair of Volo hinged fins, as I had a knee injury, and I wanted a floppy fin.

Since then Im more confident in my knees, so I bought Tusa Imprex Duos, a stiffer fin.
