Top 10 Best Diving Fins

A jellyfish is faster and more graceful than you are without fins in the water. Fins (they're not called flippers) transform you from a slow moving, limbs flailing, underwater creature into a true denizen of the deep. They enable you to dart about with speed, mobility and efficiency.

Having your own diving or snorkelling fins means you'll never have to suffer from the pain and discomfort of wearing crappy rental fins again. No more blisters and leg cramps! Investing in a good set of fins isn't expensive. Most popular snorkelling and diving full foot fin models range from $50 to $100. The best open heel fins range from $100 to $320. And, if you dive often and rent gear you'll get your money's worth in no time.
