Annually for the past 3 years I have joining dive trips to Indonesia. Since I have been certified I have been a solid Jet Fin user all this time but as I have learned that these fins are not really ideal for traveling because of their weight and in very strong current dive sites (Raja Ampat, Komodo). Although I have managed myself in these dives, I have seen that most of the guides here use long/freediving fins and I can see how easy for them to achieve smooth fining with less effort in notoriusly current sites.
So I have decided to get me a pair of long fins specifically for this type of use, but as I have done my research I have found out that there are certain type/brand/model of fins that are rated for only a certain depth. They say that once you descend more than the rated depth that the fins don't function or doesn't do their purpose well.
I want to ask if there's anyone here who can help me choose the proper fins? I am looking at purchasing plastic fins because of their price and the only options I have right now are Mares Razor (not PRO), Mares Concorde, Omer Stingray, Beuchat Mundial One, Beauchat Mundial One 50, Beauchat Mundial Competition, Cressi Gara Modular.
