I recently tried an old pair of Picasso footpockets with standard plastic blades, and suddenly remembered why I paid the premium for good blades. Fairly (or even very) soft fiberglass blades will get you further and happier than any alternative (imho)

Hi Howard - I am very willing to pay for a really good pair, and would rather invest more money in the right pair the first time, and not go cheap and have to keep buying different things. what's this footpocket business anyway? how does one get to see or try these on? and do most people buy their stuff online? I went to 4 shops this wknd looking for OMER Winter Millemiums and C4's etc. and not one dive shop had anything. guess i need to go to Leisure pro....????


i'm guessing that i will want a softer blade because i'm a bit of a wuss right now using split apollo-bio fins for scuba - and i like the effect.
