I am traveling to Thailand and am looking for snorkeling gear, I hate long fins, I would really like a short pair, I think these would work?

possibly, I have worn in a pool for lap swim only, but they certainly increase your speed as opposed to no fins at all,

I have a pair and like them a lot. not sure what you mean by 'work'?. they work for me, but can't compare to longer fins as I never owned any.

I found them to be pretty heavy actually. I don't think they would work very well snorkling. They are basically a training aid to learn to swim better but I guess you could give it a try.

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

that is EXACTLY the function of the fins, and they work great! They are adjustable in height - you can pull them out further or keep them short depending on the size of your ear, they hook gently to the area right above your ear canal, below the upper cartilage at the top of the ear.

Men- but they do run narrow. If you have wide feet it's gonna be a real tight squeeze. If they fit they are great fins.

first, these are wonderful fins to wear. I believe they should be. If the top is a little snug you can trim a little off the top curve of the foot. I wear an 8.5 and use a med and they are perfect. You don't want them loose fitting.

I used them snorkeling and paddle boarding. I would think they would grip the board just fine and stay on. Been awhile but I think I ordered size 13 and I'm a 12 and they fit well. Good luck

I would recommend them, as one backpacker to another - they're small and light and great to stick into your water bladder. They work similarly to iodine but remove additional things iodine can't and don't leave a dreadful taste. I used them hiking through Africa in September and I did not get sick, so I'd use them again.

Don't cheap out on fins if you are going on a trip to the Galapagos... my first recommendation would be to think about renting when you get there. If you want to save some money and drag your own all the way, then by all means, try them out in a pool at home first. I brought some US Divers Admiral 2 LX fins to Kauai, HI, and was not happy - I wear size 13 shoes and got the large fins, which were tight and the heel strap buckle slipped apart several times. The fins were a good size for travel, but if you are worried about losing them, you won't enjoy the scenery as much... it also depends upon how rough the water is. Have a wonderful time.

Hello. See my answer below. First, though I would recommend another brand entirely. These fog up terribly and the fit leaves something to be desired. I have been a swimmer and scuba diver for many years and would suggest you go cheaper if you are just planning to swim. Speedo is a good brand overall. Also, would recommend that you wear contact beneath your mask. You are more likely to get headaches with glasses on. There will be double depth to your overall perception. Hope this helps.

NeoSport XSPAN shorts for me are worn with a 0.5 mm long sleeve top. I wear them for warm water SCUBA. What's to reveal? They fit almost like a second skin! Are you serious?

I would go with a S/M. The boot takes up some space bit the fin has a large pocket and the open back allows for a good range of adjustment. M shoe size is a U.S. 10 and I have to snug the strap up on a M/L with a 5mm bootie. They are well made and fairly long. My wife bought the closed fit and they are really a long fin. The longer the fins causes them work better at propelling you down and dealing with current.

I am a certified diver and no, they do not fit well enough for snorkeling. You need booties, their great for tube float fishing and wearing over waders. They are extremely light weight and great for the right sport.

Hi Destinee Fins are about 17" at the longest point and 8" at the widest. The bag the set cones in is 23" x 10" wide. I cant remember if the mask is in a case or i stopped at dive shop and got one. You may be able to find a tupperware that you could use. You should stop at dive shop to get anti-fog solution so you could get a case there. Spit also works as anti-fog but most women find that repulsive. Hope this helps. If you have any other question let me know. Tom

Well, they will fit but it is a little snug. The zippers they put on this bag are extremely poor quality and they became unusable after a few trips sliding 3700 waterproof stowaways in and out of the bag. I am currently using a relatively inexpensive ugly stick bag which is slightly larger than this one and it has been holding up great after spending many hours on the water since purchasing it. The only thing I liked better about the design of the ready 2 fish was the built in can holder, but in the trash it went where it belongs since it is not durable enough for somebody that fishes several times a week.

The fins might be on the small side, you might have to have the straps all the way out but you should be ok just the toes will sick out a little.

Realistically, prolly not. It may be possible but you would be cramming everything in and it would have to be placed just right. I mean if the fins were two adults and two children its more likely, but with all the gear... I wouldn't think so. But it also comes down to the length and fin size. My fins are extra long and made to fit my size 15 feet... but others are claiming it will so perhaps it will. It is a really big bag so depending on what size everything is then maybe. Doubt you'll get shoes in though.

The fins are bad. Mine broke after a few weeks light use in my pool. The mask & snorkel are very good. Also, the fins are way undersized. My feet are 9.5 and just barely fit.

I do not know those fins. Mine are very tight. These are BIG sox! I love them but they take up a lot of room. Need bigger fins now.
