Scubapro Seawing Nova Fins – First Impressions

Scubapro Seawing Nova Fins

I have used the Seawing Nova fins in the swimming pool in the past and found them to be fine fins, but I wanted to give them a try in “real world” conditions, namely on my trip to Roatan last week. Here are my impressions….on the first dive using thew Seawing Novas, I thought they felt lighter than other fins I have used in the past, such as the Mares Quattro, Aqualung Blades and Blades 2 Flex, Scubapro TwinJet, and Aqualung Slingshots. I am used to a stiffer fin so maybe that was part of my feeling. Anyway, before even stepping off the boat, while I was donning the Seawings at the back of the boat, I found I really liked the bungee style strap, as it made getting the fins on really easy, especially since the boat was rocking quite a bit. I also noticed that removing the Seawings before climbing the ladder after the dive was easy as well, far easier than traditional rubber strap style fins. Read more
