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...
