Fin recommendations for UK size 3 feet please

[Vamp_diver]

I have tried several fins over the years and am really struggling to find some with a good fit for a UK size 3, to wear without booties (as I tend to have floaty feet)
I need some that are ideally neutrally buoyant but negatively buoyant could also work
I also need some that enhance my kicks, as I am not a strong kicker underwater (recommendations for improving finning also welcome, as the first time I ever wore fins was when I was 40!)
I cannot find many fins that are 3SX or 2SX, and those that are, are travel fins, that are not great in currents, surely there is a market for smaller fins?
Thank you in advance.

Welcome to ScubaBoard.

If wearing without booties, this implies it's warm water diving -- certainly not diving in the UK!

Booties shouldn't add too much to buoyancy, but may mean you can use larger fins, i.e. small but not child sized. If using booties, there's more choice for stiffer fins which could be more efficient -- Mares Quattro for example.

Improving finning generally needs a mentor or instructor to look at your technique. The good news is it does improve with practice.

scubapro go travel comes in 3XS/2XS for kids sizing if you really don't want to use booties

I did look at those, but apparently they are not great in currents

Absolutely to warm water diving
Maybe I should be asking for a none buoyant pair of booties then…

I tried a pair of XS Mares Avanti X3 but the foot pockets were ABSOLUTELY HUGE

Great to hear on the finning

Have you considered a pair of water sport shoes that aren’t neoprene and wear fins over those?

Ohh interesting idea, thank you, I will give that a try when I dive later this month
