Scuba fins can make or break a scuba diving trip. No one wants to feel overly fatigued after just thirty minutes or use twice as much air huffing and puffing because they decided to chintz out on their fins. To maximize one’s trip, the responsible diver should look into various options, try on a few pairs and make an informed decision. After all, scuba gear is far from cheap, so making the right choice becomes an investment.

Cold water divers will want adjustable strap scuba fins, so they can wear warming booties underneath. Coral divers and deep sea excavators need the adjustable strap model for its great propulsion and foot protection. However, some people complain that the straps can break easily and the less-expensive full-footed fins are designed for warm water surface swimmers.

Thanks to recent innovation, some paddle fins come with self-adjusting blades. At the highest end, the $169 Mares Volo scuba fins have received awards for its patented Optimized Pivoting Blade technology. The Mares Volo design puts the blade at the best position on both upward and downward strokes, allowing for optimal propulsion. Experienced divers also recommend Apollo brand scuba fins for $150, which are the only fins to score perfect in the Rodale Magazine evaluation.
