I have read through many of the posts in this forum and still don't have much of an idea how to make an informed decision.
I currently have Cressi Sub Gara 2000 LDs, and I am beginning to feel like it might be time to upgrade my equipment, for the purposes of a competition environment (I'll keep the 2000's for recreational diving, I think).
So, for primarily competitive diving & training (constant and dynamic), what factors might contribute to the decision of going for a carbon bi-fin or a monofin?
It seems that for bi-fins, the C4's are a popular choice... but how does one decide on the stiffness (30/40/80)? I'm currently diving about 45m (and intend to go deeper). I am about 5'10, 200lbs with reasonably strong legs. As a recommendation, do most people end up using the Spetton pockets, or the Sporasubs (do they both fit the blades)?
For monofins, it seems that the Waterway brand are a popular recommendation. I know nothing about monofins, and even less about the footpocket substitution dilemnas with them!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
