Considerations When Buying Full Foot Fins
When scuba diving or snorkeling, most divers favor full-foot fins because they are simple to use. Essentially, they are like closed shoes that enclose your entire heel and your foot is securely held in place.
With full foot fins, there is no need to wear any kind of dive boot or slipper like you would with open heel fins and they are a great option for diving in warmer water.
Full foot fins are great for short dives and snorkel trips. Divers will also find them comfortable in warmer waters.For longer dives, they are helpful with less drag in the water. The result is greater propulsion with less effort from the diver.
