If by "proper" you mean Scubapro then no. They seem to be the same basic design as quite a few other makes though.

Thanks Fiona, wasn't sure if these guys might have been agents for Scubapro. Has anyone bought these? What's the quality like?

Dive safe

Hi Darren

Scubapro jet fins average around the £70 mark a pair, had no problems with mine its worth spending the extra also put a spring strap on them

Stay Safe

Darren do you mean bought the ones from the website or Scubapro ones.

I bought Scubapro ones from DirDirect as Gerry said they are about £70, I added some Manta spring straps and I am happy with them.

The SAP ones are not Scubapro, they are generic jet fins complete with NATO stock number. Only problem is you will need very small feet to use them. They say size 7 - 11, I guess a size 7 would have no problem, size feet and you might just get them on your toes.

I guess if NATO use them (and I am assuming [1] that bit is true) they must be pretty robust. That being the case, what's the point of paying double for the Scubapro ones?

[1] I know, ASS of U and ME

I used to use these when I dived a wetsuit. They foot pockets are narrow, and square. They're ok and hearwearing (we had sets 20 years old and still going strong) but not the most comortable I've used.

The beaver/NDiver ones are probably better for larger feet (mine fit great over thick boots and size 10s) and are cheap and easily available. I know Brett at Divelife has some in, and they're stocked by a lot of places at about £40.

Digs.

A recommendation for NDiver "rip-offs" here. Virtually the same fin for £40 tops. Compared to the scubapro they are 1" shorter in the blade. Big deal. combined with Halcyon straps (one of the best pruchases I've ever made, and will be an heirloom when I pop me clogs)... absolutely fanfriglytastic. Unusual to have straps worth more than the fins though!
