Better fins? Wow I used the same fins for 30 years. I handed them down to a friend. So I did get some new ones off eBay from a local shop... They were $150 fins for $40. Personally id get my AOW

Same here. I would opt for the AOW course. Then I would buy used fins on eBay or Craigslist.
|

|
I agree. I would go for the AOW course.

Tell the shop that, maybe they’ll make a package deal rather than lose one of the sales. Are they on DB, tell them to join as a pro for some free advertising :)

I love my Seawing Nova’s.....but I have to agree with everyone else. Do the class.
|
|
|
I’m hoping to do the class and get the fins at the same time now. But I agree with the class being the number 1 priority.

All signed up for AOW, I can’t wait. I’m going through Underwater World down in Horsham.

|
Buy the fins online at an discount AND take AOW
|
|
|
|
I was gonna do that, but I found the dive shop I go to sells them at a lower price.

I know your post was from a long time ago, but unless your previous fins were something even floppier, like split fins, I hope you chose more training over fancy flexy fins that would only cause more work in trying to move your body and gear through the water.
If you really did need better fins[ I hope you chose some normal reasonably stiff fins that work efficiently with all types of kick strokes used in diving. There’s a reason this basic design is still prefered by experienced divers, while the fancy but not very useful "latest" designs come and go.
The opinions expressed here are mine alone and do not necessarily reflect the views of any other diver (though I suspect maybe they do).

I did both, new fins and ASD.
