    I have these fins in both 2XL and 3XL, bought from different places. The 2XLs I have are alot more sturdy than the 3XLs that I got from leisurepro. Also both have differnt XS logos, not sure if one or the other is just old stock or if they are made this way. Either way both are excellent fins though it seems the 2XLs will last a lifetime compared to the 3s which are alot more flimsy. i got the 3XLs to accomodate my rock boots, the 2s were just a tad bit too snug, but they get their play time when im not using the drysuit.

    I am on my fifth pair of Turtles after 30 years of diving.I use these fins for basically three reasons..(1)I like a good heavy fin for drysuit diving, (2)most other fins done fit heavy drysuit boots and (3)the price is usually quiet reasonable. However, there are two shortfalls..(1)Even the largest size are a little tight for heavy attached boots and (2) the foot pockets eventually fail and rip. I should note that I do lots of drift diving in high current rivers and stop often to dig out bottles,etc. When I stop on bottom I am often in a position where I lean back onto fins and put a lot of pressure onto blades and foot pockets. Eventually any fin would fail with the abuse I put on them but Turtles hold up better than most. Actually a 4th reason I keep buying them is so that I can have a spare when I break one. Overall they are a good product if they meet you needs. Replace the straps with expanding sprind straps for ease of use with bulky drysuit and reduce chance of loss.

    Comments about XS Scuba Turtle Fins:

    These rock, although they're negative in the water and will bring the feet down slightly without some readjustment in confined water; however, they accommodate rock boots and are wonderful for alternative kicks like the frog kick and modified flutter kick.

      I love these fins/ used them for years. Sometimes I try a pair of "newfangled" fins, but always return to TURTLES for their efficiency.

        Comments about XS Scuba Turtle Fins:

        I use these fins with a thick neoprene drysuit that has large, durable attached boots. My shoe size is 11, and the 3XXL Turtles fit perfectly. The fins are quite heavy, so there's no need to use ankle weights.

        If I was expecting to fight a lot of current during a dive, I'd probably use my split fins instead, as the Turtles might cause cramping.

          Comments about XS Scuba Turtle Fins:

          These fins are like an extension of your own body-they feel very natural-best fin yet for frog kicking-In a race my slingshots would shoot me through the water faster but I have yet to dive in a race.For ultimate control,varying kick techniques, cornering in tight quarters & minimalizing silting, these are the fins to use

            I have tried all types of fins, but since being recommended these fins and used them on several technical dives, I have nothing but good things to say about them. Comfortable, fit is perfect, functionality is at it's best, durable but mostly tough as hell. Love em.
