Thank you rock shooter for the info... i didnt know there were other than omer making clear fins... what i liked about them is that they can be used anywhere so the camouflage of them is the actual place where im spearfishing ... i once saw on instagram that there's someone making composite clear fins but i couldnt remember which account it was on.... i guess ill have to check with the local stores... although here in lebanon the store over price everything... like i know there is the store profit but a 130$ online gun sold for 320$ is just plain rip offHey Bro
If you've tried your nearest dive store/s and they don't have any in stock and they can't order any in, then it might be time to order online.
If you really want a transparent plastic fin, there are only a few options that I know off the top of my head
Omer ice
Leader fins are pretty decent fins with a lower price tag (especially on the carbon but I know you're not interested in those! )
Apnea - freediving fins clear
As I haven't used many of these fins, I can't pass judgment, I googled clear plastic free diving fins
There would be a lot more choice if you didn't want clear ones

Bummer about that mate... These days it's becoming harder to support local businesses and get the gear you want for a reasonable pricealthough here in lebanon the store over price everything... like i know there is the store profit but a 130$ online gun sold for 320$ is just plain rip off

i dive on rock that are brownish in color and i do both... i stalk fish for species like groupers and chill for amberjacks and sometimes sargo but i did like the leaderfins they seem really well priced and high quality and visibilty here range from 3 meters to 10 meters and sometimes but rarely crystal clearToo easy man! What kind of terrain/visibility/conditions are you diving in and how do you prefer to dive? Do you like to just chill on the bottom and wait for the fish to come to you are do you prefer to slowly stalk fish?

Just have a look around for some fins, maybe ask your dive shop if they have anyone looking for a buddy or always be keen for a dive, this will allow you to maybe try someone else fins on or see them in action (see if an opaque fin really makes that much of a difference).
Keep us updated

Thanks for for the advice rock shooter... i was looking for paying about 250$3-10 m better visibility than me
I'm no expert but leader fins seem like pretty good bang for your buck
I would recommend a brown camo fin, for the sake of breaking up your figure during aspetto. But then again, I don't follow my own advice
A good pair of fins will last you a long time, and most of the time you get what you pay for. Then again, fibreglass and carbon can easily(relatively) be broken on rocks, so be careful with 'em!
How much are you thinking about paying for new fins?
Thanks,

Firstly, any time, it's my pleasure, but please take my advice carefully as I am in no way an expertThanks for for the advice rock shooter... i was looking for paying about 250$
