Great for tech Diving, and they'll give you great control.
from Australia on 9/25/2008
I have an Apollo drysuit with size 9 integrated boots and the x-large jet fins fit quite tight...but they do fit.
It is a little hard to get them off after a dive.
from Flint Mi on 8/24/2008
Perfect fin for cold water wreck diving. Fits great in a drysuit boot. Extremely durable. Great Price!!![...]
from Perth, Western Australia on 8/22/2008
These fins are heavy but that is an advantage - the weight is used to balance the diver in the water to maintain horizontal.
They are stiff, so excellent for finning backwards
from tracy,ca. on 8/21/2008
Had these fin's in the 70's and have tried others...it's good to be back!!
GOOD OLD SCHOOL!!!
from Baltimore MD on 8/21/2008
These are excellent fins that provide a lot of thrust but require a higher fitness level from the diver. They are more compact than many fins on the market today, many of which tend to be much longer. I find I get superior position and attitude control with these fins than others I've tried. Get some practice swimming with them before going on a big dive trip, because they do require strong muscles!
from southwest , ga. on 8/21/2008
I have had used 2 pair sence 1981 ,have try other
but could not get the power ,they put out .
from Oklahoma City, OK on 8/12/2008
These fins are awesome I like to dive as much as I can in oceans, lakes and rivers I have not had any problems with these fins at all. They go on and off easy which is always nice and move you through the water with minimal effort. I have been using the same pair of fins for the past four years and have loved them ever since. i will continue to buy these fins as long as ScubaPro will make them.
from Brooklyn, NY on 8/7/2008
I'm pretty much going to echo most of the other revers' sentiments: if you're going to buy a set of fins, get these. Super comfy, compact (they fit anywhere, and people won't be tripping over your fins on the dive boat), and with enough power to propel you through the water like a Polaris missle - very handy for dealing with the strong currents here in the Northeast. I've heard talk that they're not very flutter-kick friendly because of their stiffness, but they worked really well with both flutter and frog kicks. Bottom line: there's a reason these fins are favored by military divers, and that's because they rock.
One thing: the sizing seems off. I wear a size 7 7mm Instadry boot, but the medium fin didn't fit - I had to swap it for a large.
from Virginia Beach on 7/18/2008
Every time some new split, cut, rubber banded or any other new fin comes out I try it. I'm a geek for fins. Everytime I stay with my jetfins. They have the most propulsion of any fin I've ever used. In heavy current,they've saved my life.
from BOCA RATON, FL on 7/18/2008
OLD SCHOOL, U CAN NOT GO WRONG. DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED.
from Fairfax, VA on 7/12/2008
Feels true to size in bare feet -- Go up a size with a dive boot w/ rubber soles, 2 sizes if you are diving the DUI rock boot with Drysuit as TD.
from florida on 7/10/2008
good gear

from Springfield, Illinois on 6/2/2008
I have used many kinds of fins. None of them move me through the water like the ScubaPro Jet fins. I use them for all kinds of diving.

from High Point on 5/29/2008

from Ontario,Canada on 5/23/2008
They are most respected fins in Cave/Tech diving community and very efficient for Frog and Backward kicks propulsion techniques. I'd not recommend Jet Fins for snorkeling: too heavy for Flat Kick used during surface swim. But Heavy IS perfect for Scuba Diving because there is no need for extra weights.

from Seattle, WA on 5/16/2008
If you dive a DUI rockboot size 11 and maybe even a size 10, you must get these fins in a 2XL. I got the XL first and they did not even come close to fitting my size 11 rockboots.
from Israel on 5/15/2008
I would buy this product again and again
from Ft. Myers Florida on 5/10/2008
I replaced a pair of jet fins that I had bought 30 years ago, the ribs began to crack from age. If I get another 30 years out of these new fins, I will be very satisfied.
I am a certified scuba diver, but because my wife does not dive, I just snorkel most of the time. These fins give me excelent propulsion when needed. I like the stiffness that some other reviewers seem to dislike about these fins.
from Monterey, CA on 5/7/2008
Great fins for use with a drysuit. Excellent control and propulsion, especially in light current. Maybe a little 'heavy' for some, but you can drop some weight. This is my second set, first set were stolen. Although I bought the 'springs' they may not be necessary. Try the supplied straps before buying the springs, your tastes may be different.
from palmdale ca. on 3/21/2008
used the jet fins for 30 years. love them

from Mystic, CT on 2/20/2008
There are better fins out there, but this is the best that is allowed by the Navy.
The product delivery was incredible. With regular shipping, I had the box at my door in only a day. LeisurePro is awesome.
from Portland Or on 2/19/2008
The buckles do not hold the straps in place that secure the fin to the foot. several times straps loosen and was a problem. Once the strap come undone and could have been a major problem.

from Pensacola, Florida on 2/19/2008
These fins really get you moving in the water. My first pair of fins were ScubaPro twin jets and although I really liked them I found that I really liked to frog kick in the water, which split fins are not very efficient at. My jets really move me through the water now when I frog kick and I really appreciate their rugged, durable construction. The military and almost every single tech diver on the planet can't be wrong!!!!!! try them you will love them.

from Southern Calif. on 1/27/2008
I'm on my 2nd set. I always carry them in my bag, just love them. However, a warning for those new to the sport. Some cramping might be experienced due to the extra effort required. Most notably, if wondered a bit further than anticipaped, and under surge conditions the kicking back portion of the dive could not be as pleasant. I've seen this happen more than once. So, as always, don't push beyond your abilities.

from Lakewood, NJ on 1/18/2008
Excellent fin, original design which has endured and continues strong. It is no accident that technical divers have a preference for them and instructors recommend them. Outstanding price [...]. This is not my first experience with Leisure Pro, and I will continue buying here. Thank You.

from rome, ga on 1/16/2008
great fins
from SoCal on 1/16/2008
Definitely consider getting spring strap replacements - the combo works great! If you use rock boots with a dry suit, the XXL is the only way to go
from Wayne, NJ on 1/4/2008
These are the first pair of fins that I have used. They work really well, are very durable, and as the other reviews say, they propel you far and are good against current. However, the sizing is a little small and they are narrow fins so if you have wide feet, as I do, your feet start to cramp if you buy too small. So if you buy these, buy big, other than that they are a great product.
from Brooklyn,NY on 12/29/2007
Best for use with dry suite since they are heavy. They give a good powerful kick especially when wearing lots of gear and kicking into a strong current
Just amazing fins. Being an instructor, I've tried other fins with students and go through so many different products.
After 12 years, the only reason I bought a new pair was because I lost one of the others!
from La Pine, Oregon on 12/14/2007
Excellent fin- does exactly what I wanted. Too Cover some area. I was tired of kicking and getting nowhere especially in a current. Well no-more These babies are the best but they are a little heavier and feel stiffer than most, but speed certainly makes up for it.
from Australia on 11/9/2007
Great fins, awesome power and fantastic classic design.
One thing to note, is that the sizes are a bit wack. I have a size 14 shoe, and bought a XXL pair of fins. I have a friend who has a size 10 shoe, and bought a XL pair of fins. The size difference between the 2 is ridiculous.
Mine fit perfectly with a size 14 boot on, however my friends fins were far far too small for him. He needs to buy the XXL's and get a chunkier boot to make best use of the fin. If using a dry suit with rock boots, then go with the XXL pair, unless of course u have a very small foot. I would suggest the XL to be closer to a size 8 or 9 with a boot on.
Also, the spring straps from scubapro are very good with this fin. With the spring straps, I'd suggest that this is a fin you could almost use for life.
from North Shore, Oahu on 11/8/2007
I dove with these for years but had to switch to the next big thing when Twin Jets came out. I've come to my senses and gone back to the tried and true Jet Fins. They're not as sexy, but they get the job done better than any other fin I've ever used.
from Charleston, SC on 11/8/2007
This is a great product for efficency in the water.

from LONG ISLAND NY on 11/8/2007
GREAT PRODUCT
from Ontario on 11/8/2007
This classic fin works as advertised. It gives plenty of power when flutter kicking and works superbly a frog kick. The weight helps keep the feet down in a drysuit.
The only real drawback are the terrible straps attached to these fins, which is why almost everyone who uses them has replaced it with a spring strap.

from Parsippany, NJ on 11/8/2007
A classic design, but still the best. Other, new fins feed us marketing hype and useless technology advances that are not worth the excess price!
Very quick!
from Raleigh, NC on 11/8/2007
The Jet Fin does take some getting used to, and is more comfortable with spring straps, but it is a great all around fin.
The fins shipped very quickly and were packaged well and in perfect condition. I've already put a lot of time on them and I'm very happy with my purchase.
from Providence, RI on 10/30/2007
I use these for fun dives and some light commercial work. They are compact and deliver plenty of thrust. Straps can be difficult to adjust, especially to loosen. Had to order one size up to accomodate boots.

A great fin for the stronger diver. Gives good thrust and control and doesn't trash the bottom.

The bomb!
I recommended it to my freind and they love it. I can't dive with other fins (I tried).
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
Shipped very fast.
Service depends on the service rep.
from Knoxville, TN on 10/24/2007
I've used this fin from the day I started taking open water classes in 1988 and wouldn't use any other type of fin. My son who is now a rescue diver started using fins he picked out at a store that didn't sell scubapro. After trying my jet fins he was convinced that the jet fins were the best, we both have a new pair. By the way my I still have and use the set of fins I bought in 1988. This product is a great performer and a lifetime pruchase

Having gone through various types / brands of fins, I Returned to the ones that worked the best and the most comfortble.[...]
from Stavanger, Norway on 10/23/2007
It's all you need: A pair of fins. Made to work good, not look good.
Needs heelsprings to be perfect.
Good price and fast shipping.
from Nashville,TN on 10/23/2007
People often ask me about my Jet Fins ; especially when , they kick themselves to death with split fins or other paddle fins and I effortlessly "glide on" in Jet Fins .
from 30 feet down, Off the Mendocino Coast on 10/10/2007
I've taken numerous references about the weight and Navy SEALs; however for a single fin to own, I'll put these up against any other, and win.
Easy on the leg muscles, but power as soon as you want it from a swift kick.
from Ada, Michigan on 10/10/2007
These fins feature a classic time proven design. I love the durability and strength of these fins that really help you jet along underwater. I have seen more military and professional divers use the Scubapro Jet fin than any other type of fin. These fins will outlast any fin on the market, I believe.

OVER ALL VERY GOOD FINS.NO COMPLAINTS
from Sunrise, FL on 9/25/2007
Good, powerful fins that are also quite compact. Not the easiest fins to kick, but if you put some muscle into it you will be rewarded. Highly recommend you find some spring straps...cheaper alternatives to the "official" ones abound, and are just as good.
from atlantic city, nj on 9/25/2007
these dont have any vanes, hinges or other nonsense. they are efficient and weight your feet well to maintain trim. Add springs to them and you are all set.

from VA, USA on 9/25/2007
Love the fact that they are just slightly negativly bouyant. Makes diving my comfy dry suit even more enjoyable.
