    Exact replica of the Deep6 Eddyfins

      Deep6 are missing a trick by not having a distributor in Europe for sure. There's alot of European divers paying extortionate amounts to get Deep6 Eddys or begging our friends to mule them back for us. It's a similar situation for DiveRite XTs. We just want something light and stiff, I've just got a pair of XTs myself and really enjoying them! Not many manufacturers over here have something comparable, I'm sure someone is going to reply to me and say the XT is just an expensive Avanti Quattro but they're nothing alike besides the length.
      Also took me a second to realise it was Woody and Gus, I found your channel not long ago and wanted to say awesome work. Hope to be half the diver you guys are one day.

      Got to say, never heard of Deep6 this side of the pond. Chances are they’re made in the same factory!

    Yay! I got them recently. This is super validating 😅 After lots of research I chose to buy these because I’m a full time traveler so travel weight is super important to me. I’ll be testing them in a couple of weeks 😬

    I've got Hollis bat fins, rk3 and seawing supernova gorilla for travel. I can't get a good fit on my rk3 so they don't get much water time. My Hollis are absolutely the go to for power but they are a bit heavy for warm water diving or travel. Seawing is good for travel. Those tecline look like something I should try for weight and power. Thanks for the video

    My wife, daughter and I have the Scubapro Nova, I like them as now at the age of 70 ( my god I have now been dive for 50 years) they are easy on the legs. However my daughter Gigi (Gyanne) got a drysuit and they are not heavy enough to get her legs down, we had to use ankle weights. She has just got the new Scubapro S-TEK FIN they may just be the best design I have seen, particularly for frog kick hydrodynamic and the changeable weight system make them flexible for drysuits and wet suite. See if you can get a pair to check out.

      Interesting, I didnt knew these fins before. How does the 30 degree angle affect the backkick? Seem like you have to point your toes down a lot to not to catch water.

    So what fin are u recommending if one wants to flutter and not frog kick? Getting into diving recently and we're about to pick up a pair of rk3 HD. But curious what you recommend instead?

    • @UKDiver
      @UKDiver  Месяц назад

      Sorry pal. Did see this but lost it for a while. Honestly, do yourself a favour and learn to frog kick. Ignoring all the genuine benefits to the life around you and your buddies viewing pleasure of you not kicking the bottom up, frog kicking offers real benefits in terms of B&T as well as air consumption. So better for you, better for your buddy and better for the environment in that you won’t be kicking the crap out of everything if you get close. Deffo worth the investment in time and effort to get the frog kick mastered 👍

      I just got a pair after waiting for months for them to come from the USA. Going to the XT from the RK3 HD feels like night and day. Completely in love with them, can't wait to take them on some technical dives. The only downside? I bought them for the size of my wetsuit boots, so now I will have to make myself spend another 215 quid on the size up for my drysuit hahaha
