I need some flippers ...

[Chris]

What make/manufacturer of flippers do you use for training?

I have some Dive Tech Aqua System flippers that replaced my trusty old Typhoon flippers, but they don't allow me to travel as fast - they're a bit floppy in the blade.

Can you suggest any stiff powerful flippers (and preferably an online retailer)

Thanks,

[Steve]

What do you want them for? i.e. do you want a short bladed training fin or a longer scuba diving type fin? (I'm too lazy to look up the models you mention! :D)

[Steve]

Oh and forgot to mention I use WIN short bladed fins, which seem pretty good to me, although I have no experience of using other types of fin so can't really compare :rolleyes: )

The last pair I had (before moving onto Zoomers, and then bare feet) were a pair of black speedos. *Very* stiff, I simply couldn't bend them even with my hands. I don't know anywhere that sells them now though, I bought mine from Clarks of all places.

Try Cressey fins. Some swimmers really like them. Italian, well made, a bit expensive though. Try here www.scuba.co.uk It is just round the corner from me.

I don't recon there is anything wrong with your flippers its just because your a bit of a chumba-wumba now. :p

If your typhoon ones were so good, why not get another pair the same to replace them ;)

i used to have turbo fins which were good, but now i have just got a new pair of Speedo fins (they are a metalicy blue long ones) which are really good although you will probably have to cut them down or they rub
