Freediving fins are generally AB Billers, Cressi Rondine Garas, or Esclapez. They are very long bladed fins (33 inches for esclapez) and far more bend/flex in them than scuba fins, contributes to perhaps 2 to three times the speed possible with crappy scuba fins. They are so far above Force Fins (the crappiest fin on the list of fins many people believe are good) that a force Fin wearing diver could not even reasonably dive with a Force fin wearing diver--- it would be like a world class runner trying to jog with a 85 year old pushing a walker...
