What fins to purchase

[AE Puccinelli]

I am an older diver, but in very good shape. I have tried different fins, including Force Fins, and I cannot seem to generate the power I expected. At present I have Scuba Pro Seawing type. I tried ,many differing kick styles and still can't keep up with my wife in current. I have read about the Mares Avanti Quattro Pro. and the Tusa HyFlex. I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions?
Appreciate the feedback.

Mares Quattro +
Fantastic all around fin. I dive mine wet (reg) and dry (XL) and have had one pair for 22 years.
If you're not doing wreck penetration or cave diving, then the shorter, stiffer fins won't be of use imo.

Do you belong to Sonora fitness?

May I ask what fins your wife has? I wanna try those out.

At present I have Scuba Pro Seawing type.

I have used the Seawing Nova and the Seawing Nova Gorilla. The Gorilla provides more propulsion, so if you like the Seawing design, but want more propulsion, you may want to try the Gorilla. It's the same fins, but with a stiffer compound.

The new super nova is better than the gorilla, if he has big feet and can use the big pool in Sonora he can try some different fins.

The new Supernova looks interesting. However, the only criticism I've heard of it from the one user I know is that it's a bit "soft" feeling. Personally, I'm waiting for a Supernova using the Gorilla's stiff compound before I consider it. (I like my Gorillas, but I am also a sucker for the latest gear, so I will probably succumb to gear acquisition syndrome when they come out with a stiffer version.)

No surprise there!
I assume JetFins are not good for you (?).
Have you tried split fins then?

I’ve used them all and don’t think they feel softer,they do provide much better control than original or gorilla.

If you ask 10 different divers what is the best fin………you will get 24 different answers.
