Closed OMS Slipstream L for Hollis F1 LT XL

[-JD-]

I realize that this may be a longshot, but I'm looking to trade my size-Large OMS Slipstream SCUBA Diving fins for a Set of Hollis F1 LT dive fins in size-XL . I need something more negative and with slightly larger footpockets for use with my drysuit.

I made a minor modification (improvement) by putting a small hole in the tip of each footpocket to to allow them to drain out better.

FTF if possible would be great to save the cost of shipping. I may be at the OWD SCUBA Fleamarket in Wall, NJ on March 10 and am planning to go to BTS at the Meadowlands later in March. Generally available for a greater Philly/SEPA meetup, or I'm frequently in Lancaster county as well.

If you need weight, have you considered Turtles? I truly love mine...

Any idea what their actual buoyancy is?

In my FW measurement, per-pair:

• SuperNova (L) are +0.2
• Eddys (XL) are neutral
• Slipstreams (L) are -0.4

Eddys are certainly too light with my DS & doubles
Slipstreams were too small to try with DS.

I don't want to go so heavy that I can't dive singles dry too


My understanding is that Turtles are about as negative as fins go - well unless you cross the Mob.

Despite the engineer in me, no I've never done that...

Shame you aren't closer, I'd let you try them... Also have Jets... and the OG F1's... and DR's....

Cayuga - May or August?

Try Zeagle recons, negative and lots of power.

Can't help with a demo of those...

Me either but they tend to be slow sellers so maybe someone close has some, I used mine yesterday

Well deciding to just sell for now and see if i stumble on something FTF that I can try or if the weighted SuperNovas do the trick.
