Welcome to dive fins

Posted on February 12th, 2009 by Roy Watkinson

Dive Fins are one of the first thing you will need to buy when beginning your stock of scuba equipment.  Dive fins come in a variety of types and technology, but most importantly you must ensure that your dive fins fit correctly. Just like a pair of shoes they come in various sizes.  Your dive fins will only work for you if they fit properly

The most common types of dive fins are:

Adjustable Strap Dive Fins, which are also known as open heel dive fins. These allow the diver two options such as using spring straps or adjustable straps.  These dive fins are favoured by scuba divers because they allow the use of booties.

Full Foot Dive Fins, popular with snorkelers and divers in warm water.  They are lighter and tend to be smaller than open heel dive fins.
