Hollis F-2 Techincal Diving Fins

very happy with this purchase, great for travel ,light and durable, got great help and price from dolphin scuba.... thanks again!!!!!

I recently used these in a local quarry on a test run and will be taking them to Bonaire later this summer. One interesting point discovered during that trip is that these fins are slightly positively buoyant in fresh water. I expect that it will be even more buoyant in salt water. The outcome of the test was that these work very well as a \"\"travel fin\"\" and would be really nice for a reef or a wall. They are underpowered so I will not be taking them into heavy surge or wreck diving off the NC coast. I am fine with their limitations as I plan to use them in my scuba kit for Caribbean travel and use other fins for challenging environs. These fins are 20\"\" long and fit perfectly in the \"\"Aqualung Departure\"\" travel kit (as they are the same length as \"\"hotshot\"\" fins). I prefer these to hotshots as the F2 is a stiffer \"\"vented\"\" design and is not \"\"floppy\"\". The stiff vented design gives good performance and allows helicopter turns and swimming in reverse. Floppy fins are great for cruising but not so much for photography or other dives where maneuvering is important.

Bought these because the original fins they are based on had great reviews from a scuba gear comparison website. These appear better than the originals because they're held on by springs instead of straps and are super easy to put on while on a dive boat in full gear and even easier to take off in the water so you can toss them on the boat before climbing the ladder. They're also really fast in the water, almost as fast as my top of the line Apollo bio-fins, But the best part of all is the weight and size. They're shorter and much lighter than standard fins so they're easy to walk in, carry, and pack. The Apollo Bio-fins on the other hand were long and super heavy and difficult to maneuver on the boat (they were also a pain in the butt to pull off). In summary, very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend to any diver that prefers to wear boots when diving.

I have the Hollis F-1's and love them for my dry suit and doubles! I got these for a trip to the Galapagos, drift dives with single tanks. Lighter, smaller, but the same great spring strap, easy on and off.

REALLY ARE TRUELY AWESOME. WORTH EVERYPENNY, VERY HIGH QUALITY PRODUCT. SUPER NICE, BEAUTIFUL PRODUCT. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

Great set of fins. They pack small, so they are perfect for travel. I use them for cave diving. Back finning is easy in these.

Awesome fins, gives you good control balance and trim

Great fins! Compact for travel. Not too great with very strong currents though.

Good fin. But the fin is little bit big to me.
