Wings Nemo Fin: good or bad?

[jknrby]

I'm looking for a good recreational monofin, I am experienced with them so I'm not looking for a beginners one, just a cheap one and I found this monofin.

Performance Freediving

I was wondering if anyone had experience with this fin and if they would mind sharing with me?

Also, a slightly off topic question. Are they good for diving with a tank and all that? I feel the most comfortable with a monofin on but my friend said they're terrible for diving, especially in wrecks.

Thanks so much,
Jamie.

For its price range you won't get much better, plenty of good divers still use them for recreation, it's indestructible I still use mine on occasions I'm scared of damaging my tropol or glide-like rough rocky entries etc. My tropol is as comfortable but performs way better but you have to pay for that, almost twice the price, dont know if there is really any such thing as a begginer fin, just older styles-they were the advances fins at some point--keep in mind the fin has little to no angle, as for wreck diving I havnt done much of that-plenty of lava tubes though you have to keep in mind clearance for the blade but it's not much wider than your shoulder width for recreation open water I'd choose it over a model 1 for pool I'd choose model 1 if thats the price range your looking at---why bother using one with scuba? I would think the tanks woulld make it imposible to use the fin correctly the drag from the tanks alone would negate any advantage of using a mono

So you have a Nemo fin? And you like it? Are there any pronounced disadvantages, such as do you think it will hold up to a lot of non-competitive freediving?

And I think I might end up using my friends bi-fins whenever I'm not freediving, the thing is I started out diving with a mono so now the motion is just much more natural to me. But I see you point on the tank and everything messing with the motion you have to make.

As far as I know, I'm building the world's only monofin that is designed for and that works well with scuba. You can see it being used with scuba toward the end of this video.
