do these fins fins float? i plan to use them in the ocean for body boarding and i am concerned they might come off and sink

Well, in the fresh water pool where I use them they do. If you are in cold enough water for booties i would just try a garage sale pair of old Jet Fins.

These are not really thick enough to add floatation. I use them for splash protection and have only been in the water with them a couple of times but have not noticed any added floatation.

I've only them in a pool. However, if you are referring diving in the ocean i would get different pair. These good fir swallow water

No, they don't float in liquid - they're heavy, and there is no reason I can think of to put them in a liquid. They are only decorative - they have no cooling properties whatsoever.

Stiff and hard but with the slots more maneuverable...They aren't wet noodles on your feet. They're nice fins for ocean dives. Heavy so not a good fin for traveling.

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

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!

Are you using them with a bathing suit? These are non adhesive so even excess sweat will make them fall off if your top isn't particularly tight etc. If you use them instead of swim padding I'm sure they'll be fine. But solo definitely not

I would say no. I haven't tried them in water, but the materials do not seem waterproof at all.

These fins are made to anchor into FCS plugs, not into longer, slotted fin boxes. If the board you are looking for fins for was made with FCS fin plugs, then the Dorsals, at least those in this image, will be fine. They fit and work great, and are much cheaper than FCS "designer fins". If your board is made to hold Futures fins, however, these Dorsals will not fit, nor will they fit a Red-X or O'Fish'l fins plug set up.I hope that helps.

I am not sure about them floating upright. Based on other comments, if you need them all to float up right I would probably not buy them. My kids love to play with them in water and everywhere! We never really noticed how they floated.

Fins are practical with the Skagit. It will be a little awkward because you're seated a little higher but I usually have my feet in the water when I'm not moving around.

I don't see how these pants can help you improve floating. That should be more about technique that you can consult with a swimming coach ;-) !!

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!

Do not use them IN a pool. If you use them NEAR a pool it's ok if they get splashed occasionally and wiped off, but it is not good to submerge them underwater.

Good question. I only have used them out side of the water. They fit very snuggly. If I was home now I would test it for you but I am at work. Sorry I could not be of further assistance.

Although I put them on when I was already in the water, I don't think they are waterproof in the sense you inquire about. (They're now in storage, so I can't try them out for you -- sorry.)
