CRESSI Agua Short Fins - Self Adjusting Short Fins for Diving, Apnea, Snorkeling and Swimming

Never used these before, but went on holiday where a sports club was based. Went to the pool and was given hand paddles, fins, floats, etc. OMG great fun! Tiring but fun! If you like swimming and never used them, buy some! You motor down that pool! Anyway the club used Cressi fins which come with foot lasts to maintain foot shape. I am a 8.5 UK size and had to use size 7-8 UK for a tight fit. They are well made and the fin length seems just right for swimming. LA 2028 here I come! P.S. get some hand paddles as well, they are awesome!

I bought these fins mainly for swimming with a kick board to provide more resistance and to replace a set of old hard rubber body board fins which were much harder on the ankle joints in use. I have used these a number of times now and whilst initially they felt a little strange - more a different kicking pressure than I was used to) they have proved to be really good. They are about a 1/3 the weight of the fins they have replaced making them a great addition to our traveling snorkelling kit. As such I would recommend them for a good travelling snorkel or training fin. Sizing is as expected, not as tight as I expected but have never come off in use.

Sized a little on the large side but good quality and a good buy. Better a little loose than too tight anyway. Ideal for light snorkelling, I would probably consider a longer flipper length if I was going to get more into it, which I am considering. Comes in a handy net string bag for carrying.

Having used longer fins for the past 50 years (:o) ) it did take several lengths in the pool to get used to the slightly diferent leg action required for short fins. I not only bought them for pool training but also for snorkeling. They are very good for training and (personally feel) they are a good compromise for snorkeling (if travelling and you have to decide to pack these or nothing! They are much smaller and lighter than long fins!). Although for snorkeling you will have to kick more rapidly than with longer fins and therefore not good to use if you are going to be in an area with strong currents. I am a UK shoe size 2 1/2 - 3 (35), but on reading the reviews bought a size smaller 33/34 (1/2) and they are a perfect fit and very comfortable.

These were great on holiday, compact and easy to pack, easy to put on , and was comfortable enough without a booty on. I paid £17 in a sale so great value

Good product but slightly misleading. Due to the size, it is not suitable for diving (too short). Use it for casual snorkelling or bodyboarding.

The black foot part is malleable and fits the foot comfortably. The little tag at the back of the heel is helpful to get the heel properly on. My grandson aged 11 loves these fins as they are fast and very light and the fin colour is a really nice blue. I have now ordered the next size up as he is growing fast and these are the best fins he has had. They are true to size so he may not need the bigger ones until next year. However, when you find ones that you really like it is worth being ‘prepared’! They will float for a short time but then sink slowly.

I always think feedback on sizing is most useful for this type of product and as a 6.5 female shoe size I read reviews and took advice not to go ‘bigger’ so opted for 39/40 (5.5-6.5) and they fit me perfectly. Very comfortable, toes just peeping through and supportive around heel. Feel sturdy and well made. Main advantage of these fins is they are small & lightweight - perfect for packing for my trip to Ningaloo Reef. Not tried in water yet so further feedback to follow but so far very pleased with purchase.
