Is there a difference between Fishing Fins and Swimming Fins? (flippers)?

Posted on Jul 24, 2009 under Scuba Fins | 2 Comments

Just bought a float tube for fishing, and need to buy some fins (flippers) now. Is there a difference between the ones made specifically for this application, or will any swimming / scuba fins work?

Scuba Fins (not called flippers) are usually open back so you can slip a scuba boot or rock boot in it. For you you might look for Snorkling fins which are full foot fins.

What are the best fins for snorkeling?
