Hi there, I was in your shoes, or fins, just a few weeks ago. I actually found asking what seemed like a simple question (which fins?) really frustrating. Somehow I don't think most people here remember not really knowing what they were doing. I love the really helpful suggestions like: learn to...

Thanks Harry. These opinions sort of feel...well, close to the battle between Apple products and Samsung. Not pleasant at all. I'll really have to watch my questions...and my expectations of the answers. (grin)

Thanks guys. I got a pair of Scubapro Twin Jet fins after reading lots (and lots) of reviews...and the price was beyond fantastic for a new pair. Though, I'm going to pop them right back in their box and send them back after reading what you had to say about the Volo Race fins. CapnDan, thanks...

Gosh, I guess I should have known not to ask these kinds of questions...particularly about split fins. Thanks tstormdiver for the answer to my original question. Though, I'm on the verge of just returning the pair of Twin Jets and selling my pair of Volo Race fins. I'm getting beyond...

Cool. I thought, after reading reviews all over the place that these might have been good for a novice. I do have a pair of Mares Volo Race full foot fins that I bought on a whim.

Hi there, I've picked up a pair of Scubapro Twin Jet fins...but all of a sudden all I see are reviews for the Twin Jet Max fins and those reviews are stellar. I'm going to be going on the occasional warm water snorkeling trips for now...and I'm on the fence between returning the twin jets I have...

Thanks Zak...I ordered one today in all black. I figure the black skirt and three windows will give me a great focused view. I'm really hoping I can take it out for a spin (with my Volo Race fins) soon. I've got to tell you, I have little experience with fins but, I've been pouring over the...

Yes, I know that trying masks on is the best practice, but if you could look at the stuff that is available in shops around Boston...well, you'd see why I'm online. I bought a Promate three window mask with a purge valve and even though I have a rather large head/face it fit like a glove. But...

Yes! It was a pipefish! I've never heard of them and well, it felt sort of exotic to find one off of Cape Cod. What I find funny about snorkeling/diving is that you never know who dives...while talking to client about my first experience he and his wife started to tell me all about their...

Hi there, could you please let me know what the differences are between the i3 and the i3 Sunrise masks? I've been to the Mares website and the 'features' section reads the same for both. I've flipped back and forth between pics of both masks and can't really tell the difference. Thanks for...

The Volo Race fins I got were new...I was snooping around Amazon.com and somebody had them in my size for a steal. They might be a bit much (from what folks are saying) but, I tell you...I opened that box and fell in love. I want to use them for the occasional snorkeling trip, but freediving has...

Thanks folks! I went out today to try a pair of US Divers Hingeflex II fins...I got them because I kind of liked the idea of the 'pivot' and because they're small enough to put in a tote bag for my walk out to the beach. I really didn't like the fins...they were okay for moving around the...

Hi there...I've just registered as a member. Mostly, I joined because it seemed everytime I looked to the internet for an answer to a question I had about snorkeling...well, some thread from Surfboard showed up. Everyone seems so genuine and helpful. The only other post I've written was a...

Howdy, I'm sure you're awfuly tired of new (VERY) folks asking for opinions about gear....but, I've been running myself ragged searching reviews of snorkeling fins. I'm really new but want to buy a good pair of fins that don't need to be replaced anytime soon. There aren't many dive shops...
