Used Scuba Pro Open Heel Jet Fins ~ Size Large - Black

2025-05-24T20:00:00

The fins are not my issue, the spring straps are. I often dive on vacation multiple dives a day, multiple days in a typical week-long trip. After the first couple of dives my heels are screaming in pain and I end up with a limp when on land and pain in my heels during my dives. I've spend enough time looking for replacement straps, to no avail. I've looked all over the ScubaPro site for contact information and they do not seem to think it worth while.

I love these fins although I have only used them in the pool up to this date when I took a refresher course but they worked great. They fit well with my 7mm booties. The springs are super strong and do their job well. I did have a little trouble getting the springs off because of how strong they are but it wasn't too bad. They might be a bit much for recreational diving but like I said they worked great for me. I was able to easily move through the water with good power. I can't wait to use them again this summer.

Amazing fins I wish I had them much earlier

Size fin: 2XL Size shoe: 12 There is no toe outlet, so even with the largest size, my toes still rub. The foot hole is WIIIDE, so there is lots of movement when thrusting. Makes it difficult to get the maximum power output from these fins, which is the whole point of this model. If there is an insert or If anybody has any suggestions on how to tighten up the sides, I'm all ears.

My neighbor gave me his pair of Jet fins and some other old scuba equipment. Solid construction, good power, but swapping the old straps for spring straps was a pain

These fins were a hot item when I began diving in 1971. It took me over 50 years to finally pick up a pair and it truly was worth the wait. They are old-school but beautifully made, solid, stiff, and heavy - a real working fin. I would say dive boots with a firm sole are a must. Sizing seems fairly accurate. I'm a solid mens US 13 so typically UK 12 and EU 47. There is some variation on the site as to US sizing to EU but, for this fin, the 2XL fits my size 13 foot fine with a hard soled 5mm boot. Anything less than that would be, in my experience, too loose.

I have been using Jet fins since 1993. The only reason I have replace the original was due to a lost bag at the airport.

Took my Jet Fins to Oahu and dove the North Shore. They did great in the current above and below the surface. They also did a good job snorkeling at the tourist beaches.

Work well with drysuit. Spring straps are awesome.

Fantastic, stylish replacement for the old-school froggers I've had for the last 20 years. So far so great.

They will last forever, give great propulsion, and the spring strap is the best!

These run incredibly small. I bought a medium, didn't fit, then a large, didn't fit, finally got an xl and works good. I wear size 8.5 sneakers. Definitely size up

A little history. I own a pair of Beuchat Jet Fins from 1964. Scubapro bought the patent that same year. Mine have a little tear on one of the vents and look beat up from cave diving but could still be used. These are the original vented fins and there are none better today.

This fin is great for a diver who demands precision movements through the water. I would’ve given them 5 stars if there was a pull tab on the straps. They don’t come with the pull tab, which can make the straps cumbersome. I had to make my own pull tab.

i dive in vareous conditoons,under ice,in current like palau, australia ,lakes&rivers.they are negative so as to keep my feet down!!they are stiff but your legs will strengthen to them.the foot pocket size is critical to not getting blistors or toe squeeze with the spring straps i love them ..3500 LOGGED DIVES and still they are my best choice..P.S.they are life time guaranteed!!

With over 47 years of scuba diving and 53 years of free diving I've worn a lot of different types of fins and these are my #1 choice. Someone said they are negative however they were originally designed to be the same density as salt water and I've never noticed them to be negative in the water. They will glide you through calm water by barely moving them downward due the the jet effect and will deliver the power you need going through surf or rescuing someone wearing crappy fins ;) The will also last for decades if rinsed and dried out of the sun. The pair I'm using now were made in the late 60s. I much prefer the "Lightning" Jet Fins that have a lightning bolt through the ScubaPro insignia. They are more flexible than the originals. And, as someone else pointed out, they fit in my carry-on!

Fins are nice but are not maid in the USA as display on the website. I do not like to be deceived. As such I am only giving this three stars. Maid in Tiwan is not the same as maid in the USA. If leisure pro like to exchange my fins for maid in the USA I will give five stars. Thank you. Order under Vladimir on 3/2016

For serious free diving chasing fish, dragging around a dinghy drift diving and for pushing yourself around in scuba gear nothing in my experience beats these fins. Coupled with seasoft booties and the spring straps this makes for the perfect high performance setup. G

Ordered these first in size med, i could not fit my booties in them. Exchanged for size large which fit perfectly. I wear size 7 1/2 shoe . Love the pink! Got my husband white so I can find him underwater. Best of all, and the reason I chose these is they fit in our carryons....no bags to check!

I have always used this fun and have them in size XXL and XXXL this time I was buying for my 11 yr old son whose size is men's 8 withoceanic 3 mil booties. I was afraid it was too much for a young kicker but as it turned out he loves them and the weight was fine in the water nice feature is they now include spring strap instead if the old rubber design which I would have retrofitted anyway the white color was great for keeping an eye on him

Great fins, quite simple design line but good performance

Good fin for back kicks, helicopter turns, precise positioning. The weight helps when trying to trim out a set of doubles. I think the Hollis F1s have a more comfortable foot pocket.

I own SP Twin Jet for years, very happy with the way the fit. Decided to order same size SP Jet to go tech. What a disappointment! Boot pocket is shaped completely different , no way to squeeze my rock boots in. Ended up returning the Jets, replaced with Hollis F1.
