Question Jet Fins & Copies
Okay, Is there a difference in these fins other than the price?

Scubapro

Turtle

Beaver

GoDive

Surely a lump of black rubber is a lump of black rubber-Yes? Or am I missing something?

Opinions please.

Some are better than others. I've got the Northern Diver jetfins and they are a pretty poor copy of the originals. They are a lot lighter and nowhere near as good for frogkicking.

My old ones were from Sub Aqua Products, much better, not far off twice the weight of the ND ones, much more solid and less floppy. Didn't fit the boots of my new suit though

Cheers,

Stuart

You'd think so?! But put ScubaPro on it and you can charge twice as much!

Been using Beaver ones, no problems there.

I got a cheap pair off flea bay a few years ago, 12 quid, they are floppier than more expensive ones but work most of the time.

Cheap as chips
Well cheap as a large bag anyway.

I bought a mixed case (24) of the no brand copies (similar to Hurricanes) off
flea bay last year. - £35 thats £1.45 a pair!

Anyone in my neck of the woods - Dagenham to Benfleet can collect for a fiver.

They are M and a few L but do come up a bit small so no good for dry bag fitted wellys.
