Scuba Gear Reviews by Rodney Wallace

These straps are easy to put on and remove while in the sea. They hold the fins securely to my feet.

Thanks to Scuba.com’s recommendation I purchased the Aqua Lung Sling Shot Fins to replace my aging Force fins. I went to the Force fins many years ago to avoid foot and leg cramps. The Force fins work on somewhat the same principal as the Sling Shot fins. The Force fin blade expands and increases resistance on the power stroke and gives the energy back on the return stroke. When I first used the Sling Shot fins with a setting on 1 I was very disappointed. I had no power and the fins were squirrely on my feet. But on the 2 setting the fins came alive. They felt like the Force fins only with a lot more power. On setting 3 they are even more powerful but with more strain on my legs. It’ll take more time in the sea to determine which is the best for me. Again thanks to Scuba.com.

The force fins are different and it takes time to adjust. One of the biggest adjustment is in very shallow water. Most of the foward thrust comes from the down kick. In shallow water you cant kick down and you get liitle thrust on the up kick. I discovered that a frog kick works there. Im 75 and snorkel about 10-15 hrs a week. I thought age and arthritis was causing knee problems. Since using the Force fins my knees have healed. It a great feeing to get up in the morning with no stiffness. Anyone that swims a lot needs these.
