thanks for this video.. do you think RK3HD will be good for 3mm wetsuit in warm water ? thanks

[@hpppp850]

Will it fit on carry on luggage?

[@Sherwoody]

They won’t fit in an underseater, but a 22” (56cm) duffle will fit the medium size fin. I bought the black ones, but I wish I bought the white or yellow to make it easier to put my initials on. Also easier for someone to see you in poor visibility conditions. Work great in tight spaces (wrecks, swim throughs etc) for frog and toe kicks especially silty bottoms. I also use them on drift dives, but if you’re in really strong currents you might want a bigger fin. The pocket fits my boots well, whether I’m using a 7mm or 2.5mm. They’re a good everyday fin, but if you do more snorkelling than diving, or do more flutter kicks, you might want a longer fin.

Good video thanks mate. I've got the medium in white that I use with a soft bootie. Good travel fin

[@TheScubaProfessionals]

Thanks for the feed back. :-)

I guess they are not made to dive without boots?

[@TheScubaProfessionals]

HI, these fins most definitely need to be used with boots. The fin foot pocket is VERY hard designed to be worn with a full dive boot. So unless you have feet as tough as an african elephant we would advise wearing dive boots. :-)

I have these not the HDs glad you agree there great. they seem to get a lot of stick saying there too soft...

[@DirtFishMish]

I was on the fence about these vs the HD's because of the same things you've seen Pete, ended up ordering a standard pair this week. Very excited to put them to use!

[@markfrantz4612]

@@DirtFishMish How are they?

[@DirtFishMish]

@@markfrantz4612 I absolutely love them. Weighting is great, very durable and I can manoeuvre really well with them. The spring straps are brilliant too!

[@Seegurke.]

[@TheScubaProfessionals]

Thanks for the kind words. :-)

There is 2 types, the Tek RK3 HD and the RK3 HD. From pictures it looks like the tek version is shorter and maybe more rigid. Does anyone know for shure?
