Have you tried the Tech Fins from Fourth Element? What did you think?

[@greathairengineer]

The largest waste of money I've ever spent on a fin, every other dive professional here in South Florida who has tried them has the same issues with them. Apeks RK3 HD is still better and less expensive.

Scuba and Free diver. I have tried all fins and my favorite number one is Scubapro Jet Fins. These look similar but look more flexible and with a higher foot pocket ( I have high insteps, hence the interest) I enjoyed your review because you were honest about the product and your preferences and conditions. It was a good move to include someone else in your review. I have now subscribed and will enjoy seeing more of your contributions!!!!!

Neat! Thank you for the review!

[@GUEdivers]

You are most welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!

best combination for me Jet fin XL (blue camou) with Halcyon L+ spring heels (a little bit longer than original L SP heels, but shorter than SP Xl heels)

Finally, a GUE review for this fins. Something that I have been waiting for so long. Curious with this fins compare with Jet Fins but none of my friends have it so cannot test it. Very clear review, especially for backward kick and precision, something that I really need it for fins requirement. thank you so much. My next wish is Scuba Pro Jet Fins vs Jet Fins Revo comparison video :)

Just yesterday I bought these fins.... I sure wait for a chance to go to water with them.

[@crabbymedic1]

Love my Apeks RK3’s how would you compare?

[@MsKarmachameleon]

I have RK3 too I'm also wondering how this compared to it. Cos I saw it in store and the weight is a lil similar to the rk3

[@greathairengineer]

The RK3 HD is a superior fin, even the standard RK3 is better albeit a bit less stiff. I tried these tech fins, huge waste of money and all the marketing around them is just your typical fin hyperbole.

[@dacam63]

Great video! Who makes the shorty wetsuit with pockets that you are wearing?

[@GUEdivers]

Fourth element made the shorty and they also made the shorts with pockets that I'm wearing over the top

[@AuroraTheArcticMermaid]

I love mine. They sit far better on my foot than any other similar type fin I've used thanks to the softer top part of the foot pocket. Most other tech type fins are way too heavy for me, these are perfect. I've also had no problem with the back kick.

[@GUEdivers]

We'll be sure to relay this to Fourth Element. That's a glowing comment! :)

[@AuroraTheArcticMermaid]

@@GUEdivers I had the pleasure of speaking with the gentleman who made the fins at a diving convention in Denmark this saturday :) I made sure to give him all the praise.

[@tvelocidad]

After watching the footage, I think it was more your back finning technique rather than the fins.

[@GUEdivers]

Interesting comment. Especially given that Nico said he has used other fins which provided a better back kick. Why do you suggest the same person, with the same back fin technique would have differtenty results with different fins otherwise?
