free diving fins vs scuba fins

They play a vital role in swimming under water. They help swimmers in a more efficient and faster swim. The fins are fundamentally two kinds: free diving and scuba fin. There are even many different types of fins, each with their own unique properties that make them perfect for one kind of diving and poor for another.

Scuba fins are weighty and free diving fins move freely on water. This means with lighter, you can freestyle swim easier and faster in the water. As a result, it helps you in changing direction at will with respect to speed while swimming. Also, free diving fins are easy to transport when you not using them. They can be packed in your bag and carried by hand. Meanwhile, scuba fins are heavier and larger type of fin which can negatively affect the speed in swimming as well as moving around in water. All of this extra weight can weigh you down, and obstruct your attempts to issue a quick swim.

Better for longer, deeper dives

The best suited fins for long and deep dives are the free diving fins. They work to help you save your energy, allowing yourself to swim for much longer periods without feeling tired. This is very important when you are going deeper under the ocean or see. In contrast, while scuba fins generally are not as well-suited to freediving deep dive descents (as they were designed for use with dives/scuba gear). Scuba gear causes more work and for this reason, long kicks in full scuba kit is much harder than without the bulk of a thick wetsuit, cylinders on your back etc. Free diving fins are the way to go if you plan on doing any deep dives and staying under for a little while longer.
