| Dive Fins
Hey guys, I could use some help/advice, I'm looking at a pair of dive fins and I was wondering if any of you had any impute on this particular pair of fins I am looking at or any good fins I should look at to buy. I know a lot of you guys go hooping or scuba for bugs, but I'm just a kid and the only way I can get bugs is by diving.
I am looking at the Cressi Men's Gara 3000 LD Long Distane Long Blade Diving Fins so if any of you guys have this particular pair, should I get them? Or, do you have a favorite pair of fins
I should consider buying? Here is the link to the fins, Amazon.com: Cressi Men's Gara 3000 LD Long Distane Long Blade Diving Fins: Sports & Outdoors
Thanks for the advice/help!

The Cressi Gara's are an awesome fin for the price and will do you just fine. I still have a pair as back ups if my carbon fibers ever decide to snap...

I like plain-old Vipers. No need for anything fancy or expensive. It is nice to have a neoprene sock or booty on.

The gara's are going to be the best pair for the $. You will definately get much stronger with the more you use them.

Good choice.
For those still on the fence, The Freedive Shop out of Sacramento is going to be having a huge sale starting Sunday. Up to 50% off all of last years models being discounted heavily.
I guess it’s for phone and store purchases only, so no on line stuff, but they are super helpful and knowledgeable over the phone.
**I do not work for them or make anything from this. Just a cheep as bastard passing along info to other cheep as bastards** FreeDiveShop.com | |

those cressis are good fins. Personally I prefer the picasso Black teams because they fit wider feet like mine better. Both are good fins thouhg.

Are the fins interchangeable on the cressi's? I rock the black teams as well. I waited around and found a really good deal on them on ebay. $90 shipped to my door. They were a size too big for me but with my 5mill booties they fit just fine. I've been thinking of changing out the blades for some camo fiberglass blades though.

I would say that is the only real disadvantage about the Cressi's. The blades are not inter-changeable....
