Aqualung SlingShot Review

I have been testing the Aqualung SlingShot fins, they are quite efficient while underwater and moving along however due to their rather large seize the fins do become restricting when moving towards terrain. As well as when entering/leaving the water or just generally moving in more confined water.

They generate a good deal of thrust with little effort the different tension settings on the back an interesting little feature that most people would probably never use however it does seem to improve the power the fins provide however it does make them a little more cumbersome. I would recommend to keep them in the default setting that allows you the greatest flexibility and performance.

Over all the fins are very comfortable while diving and very reasonably priced making them quite good mid-range fins. They will never be power fins but they are very when cruising on the surface and while diving. As long as you watch out what you hit with them due to their rather great seize. But also this does have some benefits if you want to generate drag to keep someone down since they do act like a couple planks on your feet. I had keep a buddy under after he panicked and it turns out that with these fins and no air in my BCD he did not stand a chance against the resistance that I managed to generate.

These fins are well made and very effective as most aqualung products. I do enjoy diving with these fins although I would advise against them in tight quarters.

If you have any questions in regards to these fins I will be very happy to answer them in the comment section.
