Cressi Gara 3000LD, Gara 3000, Gara 2000HF. What's the difference?

[IanIan]

Can i pick your brains? What are the differences between the Cressi Gara 3000LD, the Gara 3000 and the Gara 2000HF?

Also, I don't dive very deep (3-4 metres) and my legs/ankles aren't that strong. What fins would suit me best?

Thanks for any advice.

Hi IanIan.
From your description, the 3000 LD are the way to go for you.
In facts, the 2000 are the stiffest, the 3000 are medium/stiff, the 3000 LD (Long Distance) are softer fins for swimming long distance and for diving in shallow water, where the powerful thrust of a stronger fin is not required.
Go for the 3000 LD, and welcome on DeeperBlue

+1 on that. I have the 3000LD for cold water, and that I'm not that big (152lbs). They are suitable for a good 20 meters though.

I saw the newest of the Cressi fins at the recent Asia Dive Expo / ADEX 2008 show in Singapore: Gara Professional

Yummy... stiffest yet... provided you are fit enough to use it.

If anyone is in Bangkok next week, Cressi has a stand at TDEX / Thailand Dive Expo 2008.
