Hello,

I've been diving w/ pro forcefins for about 10 years now. LOVE them. The claim about cramp free is true. I like to dive w/ socks or the neo-socks. It's just like riding a bike, literaly.

I felt odd doing surface swim... Maybe I'm not doing it correctly... Not straining for the calf muscle but ankles a bit tired...

Definitely a pair of fin for travelling! Compact & easy to pack into my dive bag.

cheers,
CWTan

Hello,

I find you can get some serious agility with these fins. They are great for doing u/w photography and when you need to make alot of turns and the like. While on the surface just let your feet sink down abit and keep them IN the water. That's the #1 problem people have with fins, they pull them out of the water on the return kick. Remember, it's just like riding a bikcycle.
