 Any diver that wants to swim faster and more efficiently, should get
freediving fins. For  most active divers, Esclapez Green fins, or Cressi
Gara 2000's , will be infinitely better than any scuba fin on the market.
If you are really strong, you can go to a competition freediving fin, like
the OMER Tuna Comp, or the Esclapez No Limit.
When I use fins like even my Esclapez greens, divers with normal scooters
can not keep up to me, if I'm traveling at full pace ( a speed I'll maintain
for up to an hour).  The cressi frogs and other scuba fins with small
changes to make them look more powerful, are a joke. Try the freediving fins
I named, in a full foot design, with neoprene socks, and you will NEVER go
back to crappy scuba fins, except in cave environments where the 34 inch
blade length may make it easier to silt up the cave. Dan
