I am looking into getting some new fins. I plan on getting into more freediving, but I mostly dive scuba.. There is lots of fins out there.
Right now i am using AQUATECH's BLADES 2 HF its an open heel fin.

I want to be able to move quicker in the water while on scuba and not sacrifice comfort. Thanks

LONG BLADES, like the Cressi gara's. I know a whole bunch of divers who use them.

cressi gara 2000s or for a little longer and more flexible...the 3000s

hard to beat a world class fin with a VERY comfortable full foot pocket.

www.leisurepro.com sells them for about $90 or so

I also scuba mainly. I wear the mares volo but just received the cressi 2000 fins. The 2000 are a little shorter and stiffer which seem to be better for scuba due to the weight if all the equipment youre carrying. cressi 3000 are the pic for freediving but not for scuba.

First step, switch to close heeled fins.

I got a pair of open heel adjustable fins and a pair of Cressi 3000's, I used the open heels for maybe 3 dives and havent touhed them since. I love my Cressi's and they are mega comfy with the right sock.

Echo, echo, echo.

Cressi 2000HF, the greatest value in a diving fin ever produced.

I like them better than the flimsy 3000's. (the 2000's are stiffer)

They are also extremely durable.

I scuba dive in the cressi 3000s. Great fin for a very good price.

Do you use them in the winter as well?
I guess you'd need 2 pairs one for summer light sock and winter heavy??
