I am wondering what the difference between the finis mermaid swim fin is or the atlantis one?

Honestly I'm not sure. I will say my daughter is a size 2 youth shoe and this is quite tight. Also while in the water the back strap does come off causing the fin to come off her feet.

I don't think there is a difference - other than color. They are both mono fins.

The fin is a little stiff, but it needs to be...you will find yourself using ankle and shin muscles more than you would expect. Once you get the rhythm down (think whale tail ) it becomes more natural. Core muscles get a workout, too, because it is a full-body motion. My 10 year old loves it. The fin is so buoyant, it takes a little practice learning how to swim down to bottom of the pool...sometimes my daughter's feet float up, but she's very lightweight to begin with. Bottom line, little kids can swim with these,no problem...just takes a few tries to get core, legs, ankles coordinated. And then zoom...you can go double the distance on the same breath.

I use the Finis for swimming laps for about 30 minutes. I do not use for water aerobics because I can't hear the instructor. As long as it is charged, I see no reason for it not to withstand 1 1/2 hours. It seems to be quite sturdy when attached to goggles.

They are very different. The SE370 is a gentle boat. The latex membrane is covered with a softer less abrasive fabric. If you are really heavy the Se370 tends to bend. You must have the heavier person in the back. The sea eagle looks a bit dorky but is a great boat as well. The pontoons are strong but a bit abrasive. They both inflate quickly. If you are on lake, they will both be blown around if there is any wind.

Get the taetronics one, completely waterproof. My dog swims 5-10 times daily

The end of the fin is not in the same ... it might be plastic. I am not 100% sure what is the material ...

Yes, but it is poor quality. The fin itself is hard plastic that doesn't give. Not the right kind of material. My daughter put it on in the ocean, and it cracked in half within minutes. She was really upset.What ever you choose make sure it has rubber sections connecting the plastic pieces.Spend the money on a better quality one, instead of the FINIS, and then have to buy a better too. Like me.

The center of the fin is the same as the old one ( which is the area of real concern because it needs to "fit"). Color and fin tips are just updated.

I believe they are the same size,(length & width) except the hourglass pad is tapered in the center. Another thing, you get more pads for less money with the regular shaped pad. I also think there is more absorbency padding in the regular pads. Hope this helps!

Hi, the "fluid-flex" is a round shoulder cut with a glued piece under the armpit. It flexes better than a single piece arm. This jacket is pretty good at the price, and you can swim laps in it. However, Xcel also makes a zippered front jacket (new this year I think). It is a little more money, but Xcel makes the best quality and most comfortable wet suits out there! For swimming in a cool pool, I use the Xcel Infinity "Xcelerator"! It is 1mm front/back/shoulders with a .5mm material under arms and down the sides. I have two of these!!! For me, 2mm is a little heavy for most pools.

Not sure, but I am a size 8, true 8. I ordered: MICROFIN, color: silver/black, size: 6 - 7 (40-41) and I love the fit and comfort of these. I have tried a few other types of swim fins and these are hands down the best for comfort at the ankle and fit.

Hi Alexander, I think "OS" stands for "One Size" as in one size fits all, but in this case I don't think so. It is a nice mask from all the ones I've used for lap swimming but they don't give enough length on the adjustable straps. I don't want to discourage you from purchasing the mask, first see what the return policy is and if there is no extra charges on returns give it a try. Happy swimming!

I'm sorry, but I have no idea. I don't even know which one my two are. They may each be different. But I love them. They are great for bird baths. When you have the picture of the water wiggler, you can scroll down and there is a place where you can ask a question. Then you could ask the manufacturer what that means.

I love these short fins. I do not snorkel, but I use them in the pool working out. Enjoy your trip!

It is basically the same, but the One is a better, improved product. I understand they do not make the Ultra anymore. The Ultra is not as accurate as The One

My daughters bought this fin. They are teens and they love it. The company sells a kids version which is much smaller. Having said that, my friends 6 year old borrowed it and loved playing at the waters edge. Keep in mind that if you are really going to use it in deep water the child should be a strong swimmer. Many girls in our community have bought the bigger fin and the mermaid Lycra cover because they want to have it long enough that they won't outgrow it too quickly since it is quite pricey.
