IST Rubber Rocket Scuba Diver Fins, Military Special Ops Gear, Deep Sea Diving Heavy Duty Equipment

Performance! I bought the IST Rubber Rocket Scuba Diver Fins for my son as he trains for Air Force Pararescue, and they are absolutely top-notch. These fins are true military special ops gear—built tough, heavy-duty, and designed for maximum propulsion in the water. The weight and rigidity give him incredible power with each kick, which is essential for long-distance swims and rescue simulations. The comfort and secure fit mean he can train for hours without foot fatigue or slipping. They’ve held up perfectly in both pool and open-water training, and they’re clearly made to withstand the demands of special operations diving. These fins are an indispensable part of his gear and give him the edge he needs in preparing for one of the toughest military roles out there

I am looking for a travel fin to augment my Scubapro Seawing Nova. These IST Rocket are a very capable fin, but unfortunately will not work for me. I got their largest size, and still my foot fits just barely with a dive boot on (uncomfortably jammed way in, and the strap stretched to the limit), and would be near impossible to remove in the water after a boar dive. That they are heavy (6.7 lbs vs 4.8 lbs for the ScubaPro), and they are negatively buoyant (the ScubaPro fins will float in seawater if I accidentally let go of them. I give the fin a 5 rating because they are a good, solid fin, and I suspect would last a long time (unless I drop them when while trying to get back onboard after a boat dive). Would be a great fin for divers with smaller feet

After an extended search for a similar fins used by Navy Seals I decided to settle on these. Yes, they are knock offs but damn good knock offs. I saved a lot of money as these were 50$ and new while the navy seals fins used start at 50-60$. (mostly requiring change of straps which cost an extra 25$). The new ones start at 90$ and up. I bought these fins to mostly complete a costume for a movie but I did had a go with them in a pool. They work excellent and look great too. I highly recommend these fins. They are sturdy built and look great too.

I have not used them in open water yet but they seem like a pretty solid, essential set of fins. They're very basic but that's all you need. No flashy colors or anything which is great for me because most of what I do is salvage diving. To give you an idea for sizing, I wear a size 9 bootie with a VERY thick boot style sole. I got a size XL fin and they fit over the boots snugly. The strap seems kind of flimsy but I plan to replace it with an aftermarket set of spring straps, which I would reccomend to any diver with any set of fins.

After looking at different brand "tech" diving fins, I thought I would give these a shot. I didn't feel like spending twice as much for brand name jet/turtle/rocket-fins and I knew I wanted to upgrade to spring straps right off the bat, which would add another ~$50. My previous pair of fins were Scuba Max Aero fins, and in comparison, these rocket fins are stiffer. It took a few kicks to get used to these new fins but I feel like I can get much more force out of these rocket fins, both using freestyle kick and frog kick. These fins offer good control and I was able to turn in place with using one fin and swim backwards using the back kick technique. As with all fins, proper kick technique will go a long way. These fins are negatively buoyant and will sink if you let them go. They are just slightly lighter than scubapro jetfins of the same size, and they are very close in stiffness when it comes to flexibility of the fin. As of right now, I have only used these in the pool on scuba. I will update after I get in a few more ocean dives with these fins. For reference, I wear 7mm neoprene wetsuit boots in Size 8 and a Large fin fits perfectly. If I were to switch to a drysuit and bigger boots, I would get XL.

I was excited yet hesitant when I found these gigantic flippers. 99.9% of the products out there claim to be "XL" or "XXL", when they are nothing of the sort. They are ALWAYS much smaller than the manufacturers make them out to be. Well, my big-footed, scuba-loving, size-searching cohabitants, search no more. At first, I ordered the 3XL, thinking, there's no way these would match the sizing chart, which I believe stated they would accommodate up to a size 15 in men's (US). Well, I was shocked to find these were too big for me. This is an extremely rare occurrence, since I have very wide feet and always have to up-size just to get more width. Funny thing is, I have a friend who actually does wear size 15 shoes, so rather than return them, he bought them from me. He was ecstatic that we found flippers big enough for him. So, next I ordered the 2XL, and again I was amazed: they fit perfectly. Most importantly, the opening is wide and tall, dimensions in which footwear manufacturers worldwide fail miserably, and almost universally. I have yet to try these in water, so I cannot speak to the durability or functionality, but I'll update the review as I do so. I will say that the flippers are very heavy and long, a little more so than I would have liked. I may trim an inch or two of length for ease of use and to reduce the weight a bit. They seem very durable and hopefully will last a long time.

I received these fins in the 28th of Jul promptly and love them. However it is now Sept 8 and the bottom of one foot cup has ripped out, I dunno if these were stored improperly in transit in heat over a long period of time and dry rotted because usually these are very good fins, they are the only kind I will use, I bought this set to do my workout every other day in the pool I swim 1000m , when I removed my fins this morning the bottom of one fin was ripped , I have never even walked in them or worn them out of a pool they are stored in the AC .I hope IST stands by this as they are not cheap and I will loose out on a few dives until I can afford to replace them, If you look at picture you will see rip circled I do not want to open rip as I have just tried to glue it hopefully I can still work out in pool with them, but they are totally unsafe for a dive. Please help IST Store

Fits great

Aletas muy buenas, apenas llevo 5 buceos con ellas y la propulsión es bastante buena. Las correas no son las mejores, pero por el precio que ahorras puedes cambiarlas después.
