Re:Rocket Fin vs Turtle Fins?
Are you sure you don't mean "Jet" fins? Scubapro made Jets and still do. Aqualung used to make a similar fin called the Rocket.
Anyway, Turtles only come in one size (REAL BIG). Turtles are popular among drysuit divers who have either big feet or wear rock boots with their drysuits. They have a very large footpocket. I use the Turtles and love them. The rubber on the Turtles is a little softer and more flexible than the Scubapro Jets.
As a side note...I heard recently that IDI, the company that makes the Turtle fins has gone under so if you want a pair of turtles better buy em' up soon.
Also, Scubapro has just come out with an XXL size Jet Fin now as an alternative to the Turtle fin for drysuit divers. Initial reports from divers that have seen them though didn't sound good to me. Rumor has it they didn't increase the blade size much and mainly just made the foot pocket bigger. Bigger than the Turtle footpocket even! :o Don't know what's up with that if it's indeed true. I can't imagine anyone needing a foot pocket bigger than the Turtle fin unless they've got Shaquille O'Neal sized feet. LOL! Smile
