Fins for freediving

[DivingRhino]

I currently use theese fins http://scubamamashop.com/en/fins/10-scubapro-jet-sport-fin.html#/color-red/size-m (scubapro jet sport fin) for freediving, i bought them and used them when i was going to get basic open water certification, but i use them for freediving. So i wondered if i should get actual long and flexible freediving fins. Or if i should just leave it as it is.

I plan to dive to a maximum of 20 meters, im a newbie freediver and my record is only 10-12m, where i only had a bottom time of 5-10 seconds.

I plan to use the fins for spearfishing.

A pair of inexpensivde plastic bladed longfins will make a huge difference in how deep you can dive and how comfortable you are doing it. What you have works fine down to 10-12 meters although longfins will be better. For deeper, you really need the longfins.

For general freediving, the cressi 3000ld is quite good if the footpockets fit you.
For spearfishing, you might want a stiffer fin. the Cressi 2000hf is a good example.

I'd stick to the softer fin, but if you are large and have strong legs and ankles, the 2000 works great (better acceleration)

Fair warning, the first time you use longfins, its like the tail wagging the dog, takes a bit of getting used to.

Alright, thanks.
