FINS

Although dive manufacturers release more new fin designs every year than just about any other piece of equipment, no fin is better suited for wreck, cave or technical diving than the Scubapro Jet Fin.

Based on a design that is at least 30 years old, the Jet Fin is a perfect example of a low-tech solution to better gear design. Jet Fins are manufactured out of negatively buoyant black rubber. You can therefore get rid of (or save money by not buying) ankle weights.

They are stiffer than most other fins and therefore better for modified flutter and frog kicks.  These fining techniques are used to avoid kicking up silt.  The standard flutter kick creates large amounts of downdraught, which quickly reduces visibility.
The extra stiffness is also better suited to UK diving due to the currents we experience and the amount of gear our cold water necessitates.
The strap connections are moulded into the fin. Unlike the "quick release" plastic connectors most commonly used, there is no leading edge groove to potentially catch line (fishing line or off of a reel).

The straps should be arranged in such a way so that the ends are on the INSIDE of the rest of the strap.  This presents a perfectly smooth surface on the outside of the strap and clip area so entanglement is virtually impossible.
