Hi to all!
is there a advantage when i use a pair of carbon fins or a monofin in dynamic?
also is there a big difference in the distance? i think when i´m a fast swimmer(diver) than it makes a difference. when you dive slow so isn´t the material so a big point......... or i´m wrong?---
thx for posting
andi
 
amm.. could not find relations between subject and content..
sr for my terrible english.... i was on that point,were i wrote it in hurry so....
i wanted to know are gara 300 fins better than carbon fins? for dynamic of course.. ?
 
Get the Gara 3000 fins if you don't have any other "good" (long blade) fins for freediving. They are much cheaper than carbon and almost as good and best of all plastic fins (I think anyway). Also many times you will not want to bring your carbon fins as they are much more fragile like if you go where there are lots of rocks etc or if you want to lend them to a friend. Maybe later if you want performance then to get into monofins though its still nice to have Bi-fins to use as monofins are more difficult to use especially to safety other divers on the surface so its nice to buy the Gara 3000 fins first then get a mono later (this is what I have done). Hope that helps if you are looking for "simple" answer. Cheers Wes

ok thx for answering, i had my garas 3000 now 1,5years.they were really nice fins.... but i think carbons are better...for dynamic (perhaps ,i think,i will go with them a little farer).i´m focusing so much on bi-fins because i don´t like it very much to swim with a mono....
 
I had Gara 3000 one year ago and I have to agree - they are the best plastic fins. Now I have Special Fins Carbone and they are much more better, but much more expensive too... It´s up to you :eek:
I think there should be a difference for dynamic, but don´t expect miracles :eek: I think difference will be only a few meters... so It´s up to you if you appreciate these meters enough to spend your money...
