Great Fin

By Bronx D.

Dove with these fins for 3days of 2tank dives in Mexico. Used in moderate current with at time heavy surge. All i can say is they have great power, there small compact fins that imo dont lack a thing. I used them with socks since a small was too tight and regular was a hare loose. They say there supposed to be used without boots but i was worried about rubbing so i went with the socks. i have a solelss pair of 3mil boots and could have used them as well. Im mostly a tropical diver and with t...

Aqualung Hot Shot Fins

By MICHAEL D.

 -  Oxnard, CA, US

Have been diving with Hot Shots for four years now, best travel fin I've ever used. Light, easy to don and doff and comfortable on a bare foot so I don't have to deal with stinky boots and waterlogged feet all trip long. My wife prefers to wear a thin Lycra sock with her Hot Shots and that works great too. If you travel or dive in warmer water, take a pair of these along with you.

The ultimate warm-water travel companion, the HotShot delivers the power needed for scuba diving in a compact fin that packs easily into carry-on luggage. A lightweight, techno-polymer blade incorporates adjustable silicone Power Bands to maximize thrust and bands can be adjusted during the dive to meet changing conditions. Supple foot pockets are designed for use with bare feet and Comfo-straps are buckle-free and self-adjusting. A semi-rigid, techno-polymer blade has an excellent spring effect for maximized thrust. Silicone Power Bands are loaded with energy during the down stroke, which they release prior to the upstroke for a power boost on every kick. Twin-Speed Gear Shift allows each diver to dial in Power Band resistance for their body type or changing diving conditions, and adjustments can be made while wearing the fin.

A Mid-Foot Flex Joint is used to attach the blade to the side of the foot pocket. This maximizes energy transfer from the leg and provides the power of a blade 30% longer. Blade ribs are made of two different elastomeric compounds and provide precise flex control. The top and sides of the foot pocket are soft against bare skin yet allow neoprene socks or thin-soled boots to be worn for thermal protection. Self-adjusting Comfo-straps allow fast donning and eliminate the need for buckles, minimizing drag. Anti-slip rubber pads on the bottom of the foot pocket give traction for moving around on boat decks. Overall length of 20.9" (53cm) fits easily into carry-on luggage, such as the Departure bag from Deep See. The size regular weighs 3.28 lbs. (1.5kg). Fins are available in multiple sizes and colors.

This product can only be shipped to U.S. addresses.

Questions & Answers

Questions about this item:

Shopper  my wife has a pair she just got and on the second trip one of the power bands broke where can i get them and or are the fins under waranty?
darrick c  Hello, yes those would be covered under warranty if you just got them. The power bands are delayed from the manufacture till Next Year.
Debra B  why are they discontinued?
darrick c  Hello Debra, the manufacture has stopped making them. They have also discontinued the replacement power bands also.
DAVID H  WHERE DO YOU GET REPLACEMENT POWER BANDS?
Mario C  https://www.scuba.com/p-udrpbslsl/aqua-lung-power-bands-for-slingshot-hotshot-fins-pair if they are indeed discontinued we too should not be able to get them.
RANDY T  I got several pair at leisure pro. I keep a set in my save a dive kit. But those bands are pretty reliable. Between my wife and I, we’ve made hundreds of dives and only had one band break.
ROBYN J  From an Aqua Lung dealer
DAVID H  TRIED THAT, THEY SAID THEY ARE DISCONTINUED.
THOMAS T  Is the price of $135 for one fin or for the pair? My wife looked at a site and the price listed was for one fin, not the pair. Thanks.
William P  Its for a Pair of fins
Shopper  How long are they?
MICHAEL N  They are about 24 inches. They easily fit into our 26 inch suitcase. We use these on fly away trips where we don't need boots (ie NOT to Bonaire!). They have great power, are very comfortable and save several pounds since you don't need boots.
