New Fins to go with the New drysuit

[in_cavediver]

I just traded up to a Dive Rite 905 suit this past week and now am again looking for the perfect fins. In my old whites suit, I used turtles and my foot fit the pocket perfectly. Now, they are way to loose.

The suit is the 905 with size 11 boots (new in 2002). My old cressi-sub frog fins fit but are a bit soft and leave something to be desired with a stage. Turtles are to loose to be comfortable and the Dive Rite fins I tried caused some foot pain/compression.

Any recommendations? Maybe a jet fin-size??

I wear a Pinnacle drysuit which has similar boots to the 905, I am also a size 11. The Scubapro Jetfin size XL is a perfect tight fit over my drysuit boots.

My suit (XCD2) was just too big for my XL Jets (which I still use when diving wet), and had to go to Turtles. Would suggest that the XL Jets should therefore be just fine.

How about the new OMS fins?

I used XL Jets with a 905 drysuit on one dive (dive rite demo) and they worked great. Size 12 boots, I believe.

Thanks everybody.

I was/am, leaning heavily toward jets (jet style) - just didn't know what size and didn't have easy access to try multiples before ordering.

XL jets it is.
