Hey everyone, first post on deeperblue. Great forum you've got here! I tried searching on the particular topic but didn't find much.
Does anyone have any experience or any advice about either of the two fins? Are they decent for freediving? I'm a beginner and I don't want to buy anything I don't need. My plan is to get out there with a buddy and try it out, doing some shallower dives to get a feel for the sport and the equipment. I was recommended the Mares Volo race fins (priced at 60) when I went in to Sports Chalet. Browsing the Cressi site, I saw the Reaction Pros / Reaction fins listed as FreeDiving fins. They can be had through leisurepro.com for 40-60 with shipping.
I'm also considering just throwing down for some Gara 3000s or something of the like around 80-100. But I don't know if I need something that intense, although eventually I would like to move in to spearfishing. In addition to being a beginner, I'm a broke UCSD student, so my migration into new sports has to happen slowly with a lot of gear analysis to minimize buyer's remorse!
Thanks for the advice!
