Medic Mike Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Personally,I wouldn't bother going out in Alona with a snorkel without fins as I like to explore a bit deeper and the fins get me down where I wanna be. 10 meters give or take.. I have a pair of shinfins I use all the time. They are small, and fit easily into my daypack. As a result it is easy to take them everywhere with me. How much, where did you buy, and are they any good? They are great. I first saw them on a sports show. I then bought a pair on the internet.

sandwichmaker Posted June 16, 2014 Author Posted June 16, 2014 They are great. I first saw them on a sports show. I then bought a pair on the internet. $99 online... that's mental. I'm really glad you like them mike... but I simply can't afford to spend that, especially since I have a habit of losing things after a few months... but if you want to send me a pair, I'll galdly do a write up about them :thumbsup: :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crad Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 small fins cost between about GBP£15 and £25. I am considering investing in a pair myself. But even the small fins are too big, or at least too big for me to cart around everywhere. When you move quite a lot even the mask and snorkel is a bit of a nuisance, considering you only use them on maybe 10% of the days. But not nearly as much of a nuisance as even small fins would be. If I do get a pair of small fins I will put them in the balikbayan box. I would not take them on the plane with me. What if I decide to go to Baguio and Sagada for a couple of weeks when I first get there, which I am considering. It would be totally silly to bring a pair fins up there, even small ones.

You can get cheap fins,mask and snorkel from the dive supplier in BQ mall for about 2k last time I looked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
