Hey cheezwedge,

As for the cammo in the kelp, i really wouldnt worry about that. There have been many discussions about just that same thing, and what i have gotten mostly out of it is that- You want a fin you can see when it gets knocked off your foot our out of your hand. If you look at some of the best divers fins here in cali, you see that some even put reflective tape. I remember specifically seeing seaholic's fin in his video with reflective fish tape on it.

Mr. McIntyre one of our most knowledgeable divers uses EDGE/Matrix fins, and colored them black with a sharpie pen.

I use ice fins, but the clear fins are more for making me smaller and less threatening and shows less movements for underwater photography where i like to get within inches of my prey. Although i do hunt with them as well.

If you are in PV/Laguna areas in the next few weeks, you could hook up with us and try out some of our fins as well. Between my group of divers we have Omer ice fins, cressi garra 2000, edge/matrix, and C4 carbons, and my buddy alvin just got some fiberglass fins (I dont know what kind).
