Can these fins be used for snorkeling?

To be honest, I don't really know. I just used mine for swimming at the gym pool for lessons. For that, they worked well for me. Sorry.

I would imagine they could be but they are 3-4 inches shorter than regular fins.

Maybe. Although I'm not an avid snorkeler, my experience with snorkeling is that you need enough power to maneuver and speed to go deep quickly (we're holding our breath!). I use my Burners for lap swimming and they still move enough water to strengthen my kick. And they would consume less space than typical snorkel fins.

No, there pretty tight. The will not keep your feet dry once submerge. Excellent to protect you heel from your open heel dive fins.

We have not used for snorkeling, but my twin daughters (age 7) have used theirs at the pool all summer without a problem. They love them!

It would depend on the type of fins that you are using but it is possible. I was fit my Tusa split fins, sport snorkel fins, 2 masks, 2 snorkels and 2 towels. There is a separate zippered pouch that can hold your sunscreen, keys, wallet etc.

I have never tried them in the water. I'm not sure if these would work, as I would think it would be rather difficult to keep them in place and could lead to an embarrassing moment. I wouldn't try it unless the top to your swim gear is really secure and bra-like. I always spray them with hairspray before I put them on, so I know they will be locked in.

Fins are not deep-if your concern is hitting rocks etc, I wouldn't worry. Fine anywhere deep enough for a paddle.

I own these fins -purchased a few years ago. They have held up beautifully for swimming in the ocean about one to two miles almost every day. Their weakest point is the strap. Be sure you always wet the fins and put them on wet feet. Then the strap is no trouble. I even use these as my dive fins now, really love them. So comfortable. These are the only fins I use now - and I have many different types from before I found these.They would not be good for deep free diving, however,

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

Sure, they should work for you. They are shorter which, when you are new to this is a good thing. But, unless you are going pro, Trek fin is just fine for what you are doing. Even you are really serious about doing snorkeling all the time then don't spend a lot of money. you can do that for another trip. Neither of these finsare the top of the line but they are easy to pack and easy enough to get used to. Also, taking your own equipment, while perhaps a bit burdensome,is worth it to be able to swim/snorkle whenever you want. Most of the rental shacks have strict times and shut up in the shank of the evening. That said, enjoy your trip! Sure, they should work for you.

I've only used the paddles, the use of fins is possible but I think it would be uncomfortable

I use them for snorkeling. I have severe arthritis and my knees ache if I don't have them on especially when the water is cooler. They work very well.

I'm not a windsurfer. I think these would work. They fit like a snug sock and the sole is thinner than a regular shoe, with grippy texture. You still feel what you are walking on, kind of like a moccasin

They wouldn't be any good for swimming. They are vented so water would get in.

No. These are dive boots which are made of the same neoprene material as wetsuits and are not waterproof.

You may be able to fin, but it will not be efficient. It has a foot rest so that you do not submerge the feet. Finning is possible but difficult.

Good question. I don't swim with or own a pair of fins so I can't answer for certain....but it fits my shoes with plenty of room to spare. I'd be willing to bet they would fit. Best wishes!

No experience with the foam fins, but very happy with "zoomers." My sense is that they will last as long as I will be able to get in the water with them!
