Scubapro Jet Fins
Author:	Rupert
'TOUGH, HEAVY, STIFF, POWERFUL, MANOUVERABLE'
Strengths:	These fins are tough and when I say tough I mean my buddy still has the same pair he bought 30 years ago when he was a commercial diver. If you need ankle weights you can forget them if you get these. They are very negative in the water. They are stiff, if you have the legs, they have the speed. You can turn quickly and easily with these fins. Frog, flutter, modified cave flutter, helicopter and back kick are all only a little practice away.
Weaknesses:	If you don't need ankle weights or find your feet naturally sink then Jets may indeed be too heavy for you. And if they aren't too heavy for you they are probably too heavy for your baggage allowance. The blades are big and stiff, as stated above this means they are very powerful but they aren't very kind to your legs. And for what are essentially two lumps of rubber that come with probably the naffist straps ever invented they are pretty pricey.
Overall:	These are abysmal fins when compared to many others when it comes to the everyday job of moving forward. They are heavy and awkward, they make your legs tired and they only come in black. But if you need to go backwards or push a twinset and a couple of stages through the water, then these are the fins for you.
