Why waste time making when you can buy them for $40.00 at

Subject: Re: DIR fins for big feet
My son (size 13) and I (size 9 & 1/2) have been using Turtle fins for two
years with drysuit boots. Andy's Drysuit with both the original boots
(whatever they were) and now with his upgrade of Si-Tech boots which are
quite nice. The Turtles work out fine and are great with spring straps. See
Jim Cobbs Trimix site for an EXCELLENT article on how to make your own
spring straps (I wrote it).

Subject: DIR fins for big feet
I was looking to buy ScubaPro Jet Fins. Since I have to buy them by
mail, I wrote to a dealer in order to determine what size I should order to
fit my U.S. size 13 feet and a dry suit. This is the response I got:
"I would recommend the Turtle Fin if your feet are size 13 and you are
wearing a drysuit.
The Jet fin only comes in 2 sizes and the XL is barely big enough for a
size 12 in a drysuit.
The possible exception is if you are wearinga DUI suit with those tiny
boots, but even then
a 13 is going to possibly not fit into an XL jet."
What is your evaluation of Turtle Fins? Are Turtle Fins DIR and can
they be fit with spring heel straps, or is there a better alternative.
Thank you.
Alex
