New Scuba Diving Fins For May 2017

Chelsea PomalesIf you think all scuba diving fins are the same, it's time to think again. From left to right — Cressi Aqua, Tusa Hyflex Switch, Scubapro GO, Seac F1S.
1. Cressi Agua
The comfort and stability of the foot pocket in this fin, and its very light weight (less than 1 pound each in size 10-11) make it perfect for snorkelers. The foot pocket/blade transition puts the base of the blade at the top of the pocket and stiffens the rear of the blade with two buttresses on the bottom near the toes. $39.95; Buy It

2. Tusa HyFlex Switch
Just under 24 inches long, the HyFlex Switch has a flexible blade with a series of ripples along the bottom that reduces drag. You’ll appreciate the bungee strap system with five adjustment positions that can be changed without tools. The blade detaches from the foot pocket for a travel package that’s less than 16 inches long. $199; Buy It

3. Scubapro GO
Designed for scuba divers who travel, the GO weighs just a little over 1¼ pounds each, plus the clip on the blade allows you to bungee them together. The wide blade is set at a steep angle to the foot pocket, and the rails and ridges on the blade are deep. That design makes this scuba fin great for all kicking styles. $69; Buy It

4. Seac F1S
Looking at this scuba diving fin’s sturdy foot pocket and broad blade, you’d never guess that it weighs just 1½ pounds. The light weight results from a rubbery elastomer connecting the rigid sections in the blade. The design creates a soft, expandable water channel at the tip of the blade, which stiffens progressively toward the toes. $149; Buy It
