Material range for diving

Propulsion flippers are produced in different material - soft and rigid. Choose the one which fits you better and you feel this would not give you unpleasant friction in water causing numerous risks. Pay special attention to design and a colouring. It is advisable that you chose brighter colour so as you would be seen when diving from a distance, and your feet fasteners would not clung to each other.

Rubber fins serve longer than combined rubber and plastic ones and have the best characteristics, however cheap plastics will serve you for a couple of seasons too provided that you do not use them in extreme conditions.

The most rigid propulsion fin blades are good for extreme, deep diving, they are made of carbon, Kevlar, or even fibreglass materials which are most effective at navigation under water on greater distances and on depth. However, they are not always comfortable and good for manoeuvrability. Average softness at hunting for middle depth waters without races for a fish, achieved in soft fin blades where the wearer should be concerned about seaweeds and could easily manoeuvre in dumbly waters. For those who are interested in snorkelling small fins partially made of plastic and partially with rubber inserts is the greatest choice.

All rubber products fear of the direct sun, after you emerged on the surface clean and dry fins up in order to use them for long. It is also quite convenient to store them in a special box fixture on a wall or a door in dry place rather than laying them without load on plates and a galosh under your bed. Take these common rules in consideration and your propulsion fins will serve you for long letting you admire the underwater world rather than concerning about flippers friction.
