These fins i found after several uses i had fewer leg cramps when using these than i do my other fins and i found as a result my air consumpption was less.
But these dives were mainly conducted in calm conditions with little or no current running, such as while training in Capernwray.
In a current i found that i was less comfortable and was not making progress as i would have liked, when i used the fins diving the thistlegorm i found i caused less of a silt up although i didnt do as much of a prenetration as would have been usual for my familiarity on the wreck. This was due to a slight current i encountered outside the wreck which caused a necessary shortening of the dive, because i was breathing harder due to the having to fin harder to keep with my buddy.
Over all the fins i would recomend in the likes of a quarry or lake but not in the sea where a current is likely.
I have recently started to reuse these fins and have found that the current problem is not so greatas it was previously this could be due to me being used to them though.

My hubby is a diver but has never done a fresh water dive. I will tell him about your experience with these fins. He is currently doing his rescue divers course today. Take care. Louise
