Travel snorkel fins

Tracy in WI · Post by **Tracy in WI** » Mon Jan 18, 2010 9:34 am

We're planning for a trip in a few weeks and have always had trouble with carry on due in part to bringing down such large snorkel fins. I see plenty online, but am wondering if there are any recommendations for snorkel fins that are smaller or expandable. I'm not looking to spend too much, but I know you all are chock full of information!

Thanks!

I use to have a pair of the US Divers short split fins, like this:

They worked well, but I do think you get more power from the long fins so I just haul the big ones down. If you are trying to go carry on, though, the above fins will fit in your tote.

This might help,but they seem to be for training-
I think they would be perfect for casual beach use,not to swim from Maho to Cinnamon.. !!

These are really nice...small for packing, yet strong enough to go against a current.

I use these:
"U.S. Divers Aqua Lung Sports Travel Ready Trek Snorkeling Fins".

Available from Amazon. Use the info in the quotes to do the search with Anthony's Amazon link above at the top of the page and he will make a little money too for the referral.

We are heading to Eleuthera in May after 5X to St John. I still gravitate to this board because there is so much going on. The 2 Eleuthera (Bahamas) forums get very little traffic.

I purchased the fins shown from National Georgraphic for our trip last year at the suggestion of the forum gurus and they were fantastic!
We sent them down last year, but this year I will check them along with our food, books, sunscreen & bug spray to Eleuthera.

Tracy in WI,
I need larger sizes too. Try calling them or use the chat feature on their website. They told me they had mediums and larges available, they just weren't showing on the website.
