Fins

Designed for efficiency and control, the right fin helps both scuba divers and freedivers move through the water efficiently.
Description
There are fins for swimming, snorkeling, free diving and body surfing. You’ll want fins for scuba diving because you’ll be much more comfortable with fins designed to move you and your gear through the water with minimal effort and maximum efficiency. Visit your PADI Dive Center or Resort to try on scuba fins.

Standard Features
Ample blade size to provide adequate power, and made from either composite plastic or neoprene rubber.
Comfortable foot pocket, usually made from neoprene rubber.
Fin Styles
Open heel fins have an adjustable strap that allows you to snug your foot into the foot pocket. You need to wear wetsuit boots (booties) with these fins, which is necessary for colder water and great protection for your feet while walking on shore or a boat deck.
Full-foot fins have a foot pocket that slips on like a shoe. These fins are popular for warm water diving, especially from boats.
There are also hand fins, essentially webbed gloves used by divers who have a physical challenge that prevents them from using their legs.
