These are awesome, very efficient. They do require good leg strength, very good for frog kick. I use these as my primary fins, if you need power these will deliver. Great spring straps!
LP is simply the Best!! Fast delivery,Excellent Customer service and great prices! I've been purchasing from Adorama for 7 years now and just started LP this year, same owners and same service. Outstanding!! They back up what they sell!

Well made heavy fin, it will give your legs a workout! My buddy said that I was going faster than normal, I did feel it on my legs but they worked great doing the frog kick and surface swimming on my back. I did dive with them for 1hr 20 minutes so I guess my legs getting tired would be expected.

Comments about Hollis Gear Hollis Open Heel Dive Fin:
I bought these based on the description and reviews only as none of my local shops carry them or had any experience with them.As a dive rescue specialist, I wanted a stiff blade and not a lot of moving parts; I use the "KISS" principal (keep it simple stupid).These were perfect.They are easy to get on/off with the spring heel strap.They felt extremely comfortable on.They accommodate boots very well(I use a size 12 and had more than enough room).I used them recently at a training op and loved them. I got a lot of positive comments from other divers that just had to try them out.During one training op my line tender commented on how fast I was able to do my search pattern (I felt I was going very quick also). These were efortless for me to generate speed underwater.
The only thing is I wish they came in a brighter color. Droping these on a murkey bottom would certainly be a difficult retrieval.

I use these fins with a Fusion drysuit with a heavy sock and SP 5 mil booties. With my wide size 10 feet, it's a perfect fit.
The fins are negatively buoyant which helps balancing out trim in a drysuit.
Foot pocket is well sized and shaped to fit a human foot - as opposed to other "old school" paddle fins.
The fin straps are fantastic. Good length for my foot and *really* easy to slip on. The rubber heel pad is very comfortable even with my soft boots, and the finger loop is helpful for donning and doffing the fins.
