🐸 Amphibian Scuba Diving Fin with Omega Flip Review

You must develop a better trigger. My pair is incredibly difficult to "turn up". And I'm afraid of trying to bend the release to "weaken" it. I don't see how I could easily release the latch to flip them over when dealing with choppy water. Expect a better version with releases resembling strap buckles sticking up.

The fin was too long and could not be let through when raised. It is better, like me, to wear open bathing shoes with open flippers so that you can take off the…
