I've read that IDI's Powerfin is supposed to be a duplicate of =
ScubaPro's Jetfin; except for the price. Can anyone confirm or disprove =
this? Design, durability, performance?

I'm considering one of these fins based on their reputation, reviews, =
and their fit. I need fins to fit over size 11 rock boots. If the XL's =
don't fit, I'll consider IDI's Turtlefin. I'd also like any advice on =
fin selection anyone is willing to give. Most of my dives are in MD and =
PA quarries, with an occasional ocean dive off of MD or DE. I dive =
doubled hp100's with a backplate and DiveRite wings. For now, I use =
Reflex fins XL, which is a huge blade. All I need is a big foot pocket, =
not a big blade. I guess fin designers assume that if you need a big =
foot pocket, you must be a big person, capable of using a big fin. I'm =
not prone to get cramps, I just don't like the feel of the Reflex fins. =
I'm hoping to try some fins in the quarrie soon, but as of now, I don't =
know anyone with either the Powerfin or the Jetfin.=20

I appreciate any and all feedback. I can always learn from other diver's =
experiences and knowledge. Thanks
