Do I need my new Monofin Christmas present?

Hello everyone, this is my first post on this particular forum.

For Christmas I recieved a Finis Rapid monofin. My mother knew I was into freediving and wanted to get much better at it so she purchased this for me. I really like it at first then I started thinking about it. I will be sprearfishing and practicing underwater photography. When I think of the monofin, I think of the constant motion of the whole body that is needed to propell myself. I am not sure that this is the best thing when trying to takes pictures (and videos) or to spear a big fish.

Since it is cold, I will start training in an indoor pool. Is a monofin what I should be training with if it is not what I will be using when I am actually in the water? I have done some reading and mostly what I understand is that the monofin is mostly used for training purposes or for breaking freediving records(which I will not be doing). I could sell the fin and get a nice set of bi-fins if this is what I really need. Or should I keep the monofin for some reason that I do not know at the time and jsut get a set of bi-fins also?

Thanks for any replys!
