Fins for snorkeling and diving come in two basic styles: the adjustable open heel and the full foot. Divers can use open heel fins in any environment, adjusting the fins to fit over bare feet or neoprene diving boots. Full foot fins encase the entire foot and are designed for warm-water diving and snorkeling.
The biggest news in fins in recent years is the revolutionary Twin Jet Max Fin, delivering more forward motion with much less effort than traditional fins. The innovative split hydrofoil shape, inspired by the tail of a humpback whale, makes the Twin Jet Max Fin one of the most efficient fins in use today. It comes in both adjustable and full-foot models.
Whatever style you choose, your fins should fit snugly-no wobbling or sliding. Straps should hold the fin comfortably in place, without cutting into your foot or squeezing the ball of your foot into the fin. The fin becomes a natural extension of your foot and leg, propelling you smoothly through the water.
