Replacement for lost cressi gara 3000 fin

[Jacblue]

Hi all, was wondering if I could have some advice.
Was pretty devastated today when I lost one of may faithful 6 and 1/2 year old cressi gara 3000 fins in the surf today (Got tangled in some pulled up kelp and pulled off my foot, couldn't find it again). After coming to the conclusion that they're gone I tried to order another pair but can't find find them. Are they not made anymore? If they're not made any more can anyone give any feedback as to what might be a good replacement. I'm not sure how much softer the 3000 LD's are (If they're a lot softer they won't be of use to me), or how much stiffer the 2000HF's are or where the professional's fit in this scheme. Also does anyone know if the professionals have the same footpocket? (Unfortunately probably going to have to buy a fin sight unseen). Thank you!

Another option might be the modulars but I have heard some iffy things about the fin breaking easily. Does anyone know how similar the foot pocket is the the gara 3000's and whether there's been any improvements on the durability of them? (I think I might have to take the professional's out of the running, sounds like it has a narrower food pocket).

They still sell them. I just bought a pair from Leisure Pro.

I dive the Gara 3000's and the 2000's...a bit stiffer, same foot pocket. I think they are the most comfortable pocket out there...and for a plastic fin, great quality and performance for the price. Lehmann108 is right, Leisure Pro still sells them.

Thanks guys. I ended up buying a pair of cressi gara ld's locally (It's expensive to get them shipped from leisurepro to where I am). Generally still prefer the original (no longer made) cressi's for depth and dynamic but the difference between the two is a lot more minor than I thought it would be and I like them both. For surface swims- I found the ld's are better, especially when the water temp is cold. Although slightly softer, they still easily get me down to 30m and back, it's rare I travel below that anyway at the moment so happy with them
