Exclamation Force Fins
Hi, I expect this has been around before but is there a vast difference when using the force fin extra or accellerator fins compared to the pro.Which one is more suited for UK diving ?
I know the price is mad and I use jet fins and pros but I'm not a total DIR convert,just want some views.
Cheers
Darren

I dive with Pro's.. I've found them superb. I have tried my mates Excellerators and found that they were really floppy... I gave them back to him and went back to my Pro's. I would seriuosly consider borrowing some before you lash out on £250 worth of fin.

Brett at Divelife lends them out... he's got a trial pair.

Not tried the extras i got the accelerators for a good price they are great but not as easy to get about in on land/ rib etc not sure i'd spend 250 on them but they are bloody nice to use

i had to do my PRM skills to finish off the practical parts of my dive leader course on sunday.

extraforce fins are crap for towing a casualty!

bloody fantastic underwater though

I tried the ordinary ones (the ones you get either yellow or black) liked them, then got the Tan Delta, which are 'snappier'. definitely the nicest fins I have ever used

I had a set of pros and are great for wreck diving as theyre so small. the extras are sameish length of the pro's but the on ly real difference is the whiskers which allows you to set the fins to yourself e.g. power or control. Accelerators are longer than both fins and slightly less stiff but are awsome if u kick from the hips whereas the other two are best using a cycle or frog kick.
