SCUBAPRO GO Travel Scuba Diving Fin for Snorkeling and Swimming, Open Heel Strap

I purchased these fins for me for a trip to Hawaii, where our family typically does a lot of snorkeling. We haven't left yet, so I tested them in our pool.They're fairly rigid and shaped with a curve, so they provide pretty good power without tiring the legs or ankles. They feel fairly comfortable in bare feet and very comfortable with 3mm neoprene socks (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017OFQNMM?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1&psc=1). The expandable heel straps made putting them on very easy and kept the fins securely on my feet.Sizing was true. I wear a men's 8.5-9 and bought the M-L.After I return from Hawaii, I'll post an update.UPDATE 6/25/2025: These fins provided good propulsion in open water. They are stiffer than the usual rubber snorkel fins or split fins, so they might put a little more strain on the ankles and legs. But I found they gave me really good speed and mobility. I wore them with 3mm neoprene socks to avoid any rubbing on the tops of my feet, get abrasive sand between my feet and the fins, make the straps feel more comfortable around my heels, and make the overall fit generally more comfortable and snug. Their compact size made packing easy. Their bungee straps made it easy to put them on, even in waist-deep, wavy water. They have positive buoyancy (they float), making it less tiring to snorkel on the surface and easy to recover them if they ever come off.

The media could not be loaded. I bought these fins to use exclusively for travel to keep my checked luggage light. But i found they were even better than my normal fins. They are much lighter. The propulsion is the same as my much larger fins. My legs do not get as tired and something I didn’t consider is I am much easier to spot in a group when scuba diving. I use the fins for both scuba and snorkeling. I have lost count on how much I have used them over the last 2 years, but I estimate it is well over 50 times. Did not intend for them to replace my larger fins, but that is exactly what happened.Also I don’t use my booties anymore because they will not fit in these fins, I use water socks instead. I recommend using socks because the only time I used these without socks is the only time they ever slipped off.I also love these because they are easy to slip on and off. When getting back on the boat I take them off and climb the ladder with them rather than hand them to the dive master/deck hand. The weight and straps are a huge positive factor here. Putting them on and taking them off when on the beach is so much easier the my other fins as well. Two snaps and I am ready to go.After 2 years and many, many uses, my fins are still in excellent condition and look great.Also, if you take the fins off in the water they do not just sink to the bottom or float to the top. They stay in reach so you don’t accidentally lose them.Check out my other reviews for the socks I use, if you are interested.Pros:LightGreat propulsionGood for travelEasy on/offWhite color to spot underwaterNeutrally buoyantGreat qualityLong lastingCons-none reallyIn case you can’t tell, I highly recommend!

Perfect travel fin. Easy to put on and off. Comfortable fit with a great feel to the over all fin. This is a fin that will accommodate snorkeling or diving. Buy it!

Great quality fins, I’ve used them numerous times snorkeling and they have done an awesome job. Light enough for me, and made with quality materials. Personally, I felt less soreness in my ankles in these, than in cheaper fins I replaced these with. The only caveat is that their hook to keep the pair together, is not the best at its job, however I didn’t buy it for that, and definitely think they are worth the price.

They seem perfect but the sizing chart might be off. I’m a women’s 9 and ordered the M/L and my feet are swimming in them. Returning and going for the XS/S

These are quality made fins but my Size 9 women feet were too small for the M/L size that the company recommends. It says it is self adjusting but there is no way to tighten the heel strap. I returned them.

Price/Quality. Excellent.Pros: Durable, light weight; size large packs easily in 22" Victorinox roll aboard; surprisingly good propulsion and maneuverability in light to moderate current whilst snorkeling, though middling performance using a frog kick.Cons: A very TIGHT foot pocket even for narrow feet. My son and I share a prominent medial cuneiform bone (that's the bony prominence on the top of the foot above the arch). If you do too, expect a painful, week-long break-in period until the fin's foot pocket conforms to your foot. The fin's durability comes from its very stiff, unforgiving plastic. My son and I share a higher than normal tolerance for pain - that being said, the first week of snorkeling (3-4 hours/day) was a bit rough. This plastic is not easily recycled (by today's standard) and so is not the greenest option when its life cycle ends.Limitations: IMHO, this fin is really only suitable for snorkeling in light to moderate current. I did not / would not use them for scuba diving as there is not enough thrust for the added drag and weight, especially for any emergent situation. Mark each fin as left and right as the pocket (eventually and begrudgingly) molds to your foot. It took me a few days to figure that out :-/Alternative, more versatile travel fin: I dig the Deep 6 Eddy Fin which is a lighter and slightly smaller version of the ScubaPro Jet fin. It's durable, light weight, comfortable, provide excellent thrust and maneuverability, and are versatile for snorkeling and scuba diving. However, the size L and XL may not fit the typical 22" roll-aboard bag and they require neoprene (2mm) booties.
