First impressions and future review of Saekodive Tech Fins

[drakcheslav]

So they just arrived.

I was looking for new larger and negative fins to use with my new drysuit, which has rubber boots. and in future when I get a new drysuit with socks.

I found these with various vendors, but managed to find a new pair on ebay.

The fins looks pretty high quality for 60eur.

The foot pocket is similar to Jetfins, and these are basically the same fin as the Poseidon Trident, UTD precisions fins.

Still haven't tested them. Probably tomorrow, but so far, on a dry test they fit nicely, no wiggle.

Love the color! More colorful tech gear is needed!

They have quite nice colors.

I got the yellow ones since I usually dive in low vis, and I usually take groups.

One thing about the fit, the largest size is XXL, and it fits 45-47 EU size dry boots.

Foot 41 here, I could only have problems at the other end of the scale . My Scubapro Jets are the only piece of “clothing” I owe in size L ;P

 

[drakcheslav]

These should be right for you.
Since I'm guessing these are in the "asian fit" variety.

And still no purple.

Unfortunately not.

I'm just glad that they have them in yellow.

And I'm sure my gropus will be glad too, since they will easily see me.



On another note, I was planning to cut off the rubber loop but after seeing that they actually sit flush when donned I decided to leave them since they do make them feel more comfortable.

Here are the weights compared to my old ScubaPro Go Spot.

Go Spot: 1.675kg (3.69 lbs)
Saekodive: 3.127kg (6.89 lbs)

Got a first dive today.

Fins feel great. They are snug but not tight. And due to the weight there is some wiggle underwater, but it's not a problem. There is enough space for use with rockboots too.

No floaty feet in the dry suit with them, wich is awesome.

Frog kick is super comfortable, and the rest, helicopter turns and such are easy to do, it's even easier to backpedal.

It's strange how much propulsion they guve you and yet they're so compact.

The weight of the fins you show is for what size? L? Thanks!
