Hi,
I'm new to scuba and just got through my confined dives in NYC. I bought a pair of fins (Scuba pro - Sport jet) and they seem to give me a lot of cramps/ pain on both feet while doing the confined diving.
JET SPORT - SCUBAPRO
Do you think this will change over time as my body adjusts? and as the fin (hopefully) gets less stiff (if they do at all). My feet fit well with booties on and I don't think the size is the issue. It just feels like my ankles are at hyper extension when I'm moving with them in the water. I tried on a pair of split fins and they were much easier on my ankles.
What do you think? Am I just moving wrong in the water? I'm trying to use my glutes and upper leg muscles as the instructor told me. But any suggestions would help. Should I get fins with less drag/ resistance?
Thanks
