Brand: Tusa

Located in: Essential Equipment, Fins

The SF-6 provides more speed and power than traditional fins by combining three materials to create a fin blade with the optimum amount of flex and stiffness. The SF-6 has a generous foot pocket for maximum comfort and power transfer from the diver to the blade. The unique combination of advanced engineering creates a fin with good low end torque, as well as the power needed for currents and other forms of advanced diving.

DIVE PINK & FIGHT BREST CANCER! For every Pink Fin sold $25 will be donated to fight breast cancer.

Comments about Tusa Tusa Tri-Ex Open Heel Fins (SF-6):

I have used these fins on shore and boat dives. They are ok for calm water but I do not find them efficient in currents. I feel as though I put in a lot of effort for little propulsion.

As always LeisurePro delivered the product quickly and in good condition.

Comments about Tusa Tusa Tri-Ex Open Heel Fins (SF-6):

I've got used to the Aqualung Blades II and I was afraid these new fins wouldn´t not deliver as good as my previous ones on strong currents, but didn't dissapoint I was able to swim faster and get less tired after a day of diving in the Pacific (Baja) .

Comments about Tusa Tusa Tri-Ex Open Heel Fins (SF-6):

I bought these fins when i left home on a dive trip and forgot my fins. Bought them at a local dive shop for a lot more money. We always travel with a large group and loaned them to another diver on the same trip. After loaning them to another diver he went to the dive shop and bought a pair also. After this 3 others bought the same fins. They are a nice stiff fin that when you kick with them you definately go fast. I am thinking of buying another pair in case they stop making them. Also try them on with your boots because depending on the boot you may not need a medium or a large size fin. LOVE THESE FINS!!!

Comments about Tusa Tusa Tri-Ex Open Heel Fins (SF-6):

I needed a new pair of fins since I owned closed heel for snorkeling. I just started SCUBA diving and needed open heeled fins, so I tried these on in the store they felt almost true to size and lightweight. Used them for my open water exams and really enjoyed them. Don't have too much experience to compare them to anything else, but my opinion is they are really good fins and the price was great, which is always a plus....

Service & Delivery comments:

I was waiting for a specific color to come in when it did store recommended just shipping them was a great idea at a low cost. No issues Thanks Leisure Pro

These fins are great for snorkeling. I use Tusa split fins for scuba. These are probably just as good for scuba I just prefer split fins for scuba.

Comments about Tusa Tusa Tri-Ex Open Heel Fins (SF-6):

I've used these fins recently on a few dives. They're not bad for the price. There is a little drag and they may not be as fast as some other fins out there, but they do the job pretty well. The fit is excellent and the straps can be adjusted and released easily.

Comments about Tusa Tusa Tri-Ex Open Heel Fins (SF-6):

These have a nice response. The angled blade probably adds to the efficiency. The right balance between flexible and stiff.

I've been diving since '77 and these fins are the best I've found.

i am a scuba instructor, last 2 years i have done over 600 dives with these fins and they are still going very strong i didn't even have to change the straps yet, the yellow color is faded a little bit, but that is expected ofcourse being under the sun most of the time, stowed on the boat.very comfortable, efficent against the current.[...]

Great for scuba diving and snorkeling. I wear a 2 piece 7mm wetsuit in coldwater and they give great speed. I also use them with just boots while free diving and they are amazing for speed and agility.

Comments about Tusa Tusa Tri-Ex Open Heel Fins (SF-6):

They don't quite have the efficient thrust of more advanced designs, and the drag is a little more than I'd like, but price/performance ratio is excellent. If your needs are warm water, low current, these are a great choice.

Don't Waste Your Money on Split Fins

Comments about Tusa Tusa Tri-Ex Open Heel Fins (SF-6):

Don't waste your money on split fins. These are every bit as comfortable and powerful. I actually went to a local dealer and tried some [$]split fins out in their pool for about 15 minutes. I decided I didn't want to spend [$]on fins. Found these [$] and checked Tusa's website and Rodales Reviews. You know what, the performance difference was minimal in Tusa's robotic test vs. split fins. Definitely not $100 worth of performance difference. These fins are every bit as comfortable and powerful as the Atomic's I demo'd in the pool. These don't hurt my feet, I have never had a cramp in my leg and you don't need to do the big scissor kick to get moving fast. I even outswam my dive buddy while carrying my anchor on the bottom to reposition it before our ascent.

Would buy Again!!!

Great fin. I have tried several differnt fins and this one worked best for me. It does well in underwater currents..very stable. It is a perfect combo of rigid/flexible material. Very comfortable and easy to take off quick release straps. Would purchase again.
