Best short/light travel fin. Apeks RK3, Scubapro Jetfin or Hollis F2?

Thanks for the advice! Seems like the rk3’s are quite light and seem relatively stiff (good for photography/ tech in general) anyone have any experience with these compared to the jerfins?

Deep6 eddy should be at the top of your list. Lightest of the bunch and more powerful than f2 and rk3. The rk3 are actually quite a bit heavier than eddy and floppier in the water imo.

I’ll have to look into those. Just worried about sizing. I’m a size 42 euro, 9.5 us. Any idea what size would be ideal?

Which boot are you using?

Mares flexa ds 5mm thick sole

I would say a Large would fit those boots. Worst case you adjust the strap to the tighest setting on the fin. If you email deep6 they will give you the advice needed... just tell them the boot and size. But im pretty sure you would need a Large.

Cool gonna give these guys a shout. Also, I've just been doing some research on the Dive Rite XT fins. Have either of you tried these? They seem heavy.

I have. They were okay. I didnt find them to be any more powerful compared to the eddys. Thats just me though. Plus they are a lot longer. I prefer the size of the eddys and how easy they are to backup.

i use these and the Eddys. I air-travel with the Eddys. I prefer the XTs for currents.
