Hey everyone,

I'm new to this forum, but after having gone through MaKaVeLi's thread and read the answers from you guys, I decided to make a thread.
I have carried out free diving for about four years, but only for the fun of it, and primarily while on holidays.

During the last four years I have been using the Cressi-sub Frog fins, pretty basic and easy-to-use fins. They're great, but after having tried a monofin for the first time the other day, I decided to change direction and try one of them. Now the problem is, I don't know which one to buy. I am not going to spend a fortune, but a decent quality is still required. Something like 100-200$.

I don't like hard fins, the soft ones are somewhat easier to use, and since I'm only going to use the fin as a recreational diver, this should not be a problem.
Now, can any of you guys recommend a fin? The reason I used Cressi-Sub Frog as a comparison is because I hoped some of you have tried that one and would therefore be able to suggest something similar in hardness.

I hope someone can help me on this one,

Cheers Emerja

Like I said in MaKaVeL's thread, you can get a quality monofin from SpecialFins. For example the Monofin Dolphin (costs about 150 US). They are also available in different stiffness, the options are: soft, medium, hard and extrahard. You'd probably want a soft one.
 
Yea, SpecialFins are the awesome choice... I own some of their stereo fins and I am so satisfied that I will continue to buy from them.... go for it!
