Do you know or has Nick published the buoyancy charateristics of these?
Thanks
I dived with my Hollis F1 fins i bought from ST today. They are made out of heavy duty rubberished material and they have a negative buoyancy.

I am very impressed with the fins as they fitted very well and I didnt need any time to get use to the different feel of them. The first time use they felt like I have been diving with them for years.

They are well made and I believe that they will last for many years to come.

The only down side is their weight. If travelling I think I would have to look at other fins as the F1 are heavy.

I recommend them to anyone looking at a new fin or a fin to replace an old favourite like SP jets.
