Speedo Dive fins

[Bill87]

I was given three sets of swims labeled Speedo Dive. They are in great shape, but seem very short compared to scuba fins I'm used to using. I mean, my fins are definitely old, and longer than most modern fins, but these are really short. Is that just a trend in scuba, or is this some sort of Speedo design that allows for shorter fins while keeping propulsion? Picture below

Those are swim fins. Not appropriate for SCUBA.

Thanks. That's what I thought. But the guy who gave them to me used them for scuba for his kids, so thought maybe this was some sort of equipment trend I didn't know about

Swim/exercise fins not related to scuba.

Snorkeling, friends

The thing you do when growing up so when you take up diving you're not so crap
