You want to check your buoyancy at 6m with your tanks
close to empty, to assure that you'll be able to
maintain that depth without floating to the surface.
This could happen if you didn't check, as your tanks
will be more buoyant at the end of the dive than when
you start off.

I live in Norway, and had no problem getting hold of a
pair of ScubaPro fins. I think the Beauchats are a
little longer, a little narrower and stiffer, although I
can't say for sure, because I don't remember if the ones
I tried before I bought the SPs were Beauchat (although
I'm pretty sure they were).

I you get cold, wear more clothes! If that's difficult
(for some obscure reason), put a little extra weight on,
so that you'll stay comfortably warm at the 6m stop. The
point is that you shouldn't be overweighted!!
