Fantastic fins
Review byAustin
These are great fins for tech diving. You get plenty of control in a compact package.
These are obviously a standard design, and I like them just as much as jets I've used. I first got them in XL, but with size 11 feet in dryboots I had to get a pair in 2XL.

Great Fins if you do the breast stroke/frog kick
Review byMark
One of the secrets to better diving for dummies is to do the breast stroke rather than the frog kick. You may not be perfect at buoyancy, but your dive buddy will thank you if you can swim along the bottom without kicking up sediment. I'm not a DIR diver; I just use a hodgepodge of what works, and I'm sold on the DIR technique of breaststroke and hovering.
The XS Scuba Turtles are a great fin for the breast stroke. They're large, they're proven (they've been manufactured for 40 years); they help you learn better technique.

Great fin
Review byMatt
Love these fins. More flexible than the Jets, but still have a lot of good power for frogkick style finning. the XL fits great over my turbosouls and size 12 boots.

Great Drysuit Fin
Review byAbdul Aziz
This fin is has been the first choice among drysuit divers because it was designed with a really wide fin pocket. Military divers also prefer these because they can even accommodate the military issued boots. If you need a drysuit fin, these cangt be beat but if you are looking for a wetsuit fin then there are better products out there.

Review byIza Ding
Turtles are great fins. Great quality and great price. However it is crucial to get a pair that fits snug. Mine were a little large on the feet which became uncomfortable during a dive because the foot pocket doesn't have a drainage hole. These fins work well in wrecks and caves.

Review bywill mcmanus
I really like these fins when diving with a drysuit boot on, as the foot pocket is huge and accommodates "rock boots" or other drysuit boots perfectly. The fins also provide a great amount of thrust, last forever, and are comparatively cheap to other fin options.

Review byKevin Bond
I just got these fins, i have a size 11 foot and with my drysuit boot i use the 2XL and its like these fins were made for my foot super sung. One thing i did not like was that the foot pocket does not have a drainage hole so there can be quite a suction when you go to take your foot out. I ended up drilling a few small holes in the foot pocket as well as spaying the pocket with silicone spray before each trip this seems to help with the suction

Review byMichael Scorpa
I am a commercial diver and use these fins exclusively. I have two sets, one for warm water and one for cold, both have been modified with spring straps. These fins are tough as nails, I never have to worry about any type of failure which is why I trust them on the job.

Review byDouglas Boyce
These are a tech diver and military standard. I wear and XL with a dry suit/ full sole dive boot and an a L for a small thin boot and my regular shoe size is 11. Spring straps are easy to install - I found I had to match the spring size to the boot for a good fit (XL spring for XL Fin; L spring for a L Fin). Unless I'm doing something tech oriented, I don't like to travel with these as they are heavy - I have a pair of light travel fins.

Review bykeith wells
GOt a pair of thesee fins when switching over to a fundies class also. Very comfortable foot pocket, didn't squeeze the foot at all. The person that i purchased them from was using them in her drysuit but felt the fin was to big for her. SAhe was correct, it fit my size 13boot.
