ScubaproSeawing Nova Scuba Diving Fin- X-Large - White

I’m an open water instructor and I’ve owned or used a number of different fins, The Nova is a cut above, try them and you won’t be satisfied with anything else. They are very efficient at both flutter and frog kicks, and yes, they back up well too. The bungee heel and large loop make donning and doffing a snap. They are slightly positively buoyant which I really like. Much of my diving is shore dives in rivers and lakes with poor visibility. Gearing up is often done in the water and if I drop one I don’t have to spend much time looking for it. About the only negative I have about the fin is acceleration. It takes a couple of kicks to get up to speed but the top end is fast, very fast. As for size I use a Mares Triboot in 5mm size 12 with a hard sole. The chart recommends large, barely. I found the fit to be too snug for my liking and went to X-Large, That fit seems perfect.
