should fins float sink or be neutral? im sure there are probably different oppinions, so which ever you think, give your reasons. Thanks
 
I think they should sink, makes for easier surface swimming since its easier to keep your feet underwater. Kind of sucks if you drop one though. Had a buddy of mine drop a plastic sporasub, luckily there was only 20m of water.
 
Hi,

I believe the fins should be slowly sinking. The ideal situation for me is the slightly negative boyancy of the fins to compensate 4 the positive boyancy of the legs wearing the wetsuit, thus causing the feet to stay on the surface but a close to neutral boyancy. This way I can relax and concentrate easier on the surface.
