Relatively new diver - and I love my Scuba Pro Go Travel fins. For those that don't know, these are a strapped fin meant to go over bare feet, although I usually wear a very thin neoprene sock. This was a great solution for the Bahamas, but I just took a Stress and Rescue course that involved hours in shallow cold water with sharp rocks.
I could not walk on the neoprene socks without fins, as they get shredded, so I was comically stumbling all weekend trying to walk in full fins. Sharp rocks also hurt bare feet.
The expensive solution is to get a pair of fins made to be worn over thick heavy boots. But I am not sure how much cold water diving I am going to do, I won't spend a lot of time walking in scuba gear outside this course, and even in 58 degree water, my feet weren't cold (or at least not as cold as the rest of me).
Can I wear something thick enough to walk on rocks with my scuba pro go fins? Even minimal protection for my feet is fine but I want boots that won't be destroyed in 30 minutes. Any suggestions how thick to go? Too thick and the fins won't fit right, too thin and the rocks will just shred them.
