The cressi gara 3000 will be very stiff for you and hurt your ankles or just cause leg fatigue. The gara 3000ld are
made for surface swimming and dives up to 20m. I have a pair. Bought them off this site
Buy scuba gear, scuba diving and snorkeling equipment, and everything underwater from LeisurePro.com for $89 American around Christmas time...I think they're about $109 right now. If money is a concern they are the best deal...assuming the footpocket fits you. Best to check out a dive shop first and try on an Omer Ice, leisurepro has them for, I think about $189 American. Then try on a cressi. If the cressi footpocket fits you I would suggest that fin: The Gara 3000LD, make sure it is the LD. Also, long blade fins take a week or two for your legs get used to, so give it a little time and they will be more comfortable. The first 6-7 minutes will obviously be the hardest but give your body some time to adapt.
Good luck
