Oh, and they come in red now as well. This season's colour.

Digs.

Ahh that explains it I had blue!

Quick question:

Would Scubapro Jet fins in XL fit a size 9 boot - O Three drysuit?

Nobody seems to know as it depends on the exact size/shape of the boot and that's in the upper area.
(I posted a thread on this last week).

I want a pair of jets or turtles but no dealer around me stocks them to try on and dont want to order blind from the internet in case it doesn't fit.

No

Jamie think about your fins when you have decided on the suit as this could make a huge difference on the size or brand you buy.

There are different fins for different jobs. If your diving calls for frog kicks, a slick reverse gear and helicopter turns you need rigid fins but you pay the price in a straight line swim against current.

I have three sets, a jet fin look-alike so solid you could beat somebody to death with it, a set of freediving fins a meter long and my new toy, silly little force fins that work annoyingly well except that I haven't mastered corners yet.

Actually I think it's just part of the great diving plot to seperate me from my money. Every time I buy fins it costs me 50% more than last time.

Got out bid on ebay so I'll wait and get some fins once I have my suit, which is for the best anyway.

Thanks for your help everyone.

I have just bought a PolarBear Dry suit with size 9 boots, my other suit was a Northern Diver Size 8
My Scubapro Jet Fins size XL are to small

If you can go and try a pair on with your dry suit, as it has cost me a fortune in post.
Scubapro jet fins XL to small XXL to big
NorthernDiver XL to small XXXL to big XXL none available.
Turtle Fins XXL Okay

Hope this helps

Thanks mate very helpful and good to know.

I'll wait until I have a suit then try the Hets on in the shop before I buy.

FWIW ive just taken delivery of XXL turtles and these fit perfectly in my size 10-11 thick neoprene boot on my seaskin suit.

I'd go as far as to say the foot pocket could have been designed for such a boot

Now i need to work out what size spring straps
