Yes, I put a miflex on my pool reg primary and one on my 40Al and they work great! It's nice to see something new and innovative that really does do things better. I've got a few other hoses I'm going have to change out now.


Thanks again,
Mike

I am glad to see the reviews here. I am looking forward to taking both the F1's and the new XS hoses to Bonaire with me.

I am hoping that XL's will work for both my wetsuit booties and my turbo soles... I can't wait!

G'day Brendan,

I live near Byron Bay.

Cheers Mark

If so, please do everyone here a big favor and post of few pics of them side by side. Also, a few pics of the foot pockets side by side would be great. And for someone willing to go the extra mile, please measure the depth, height and width of the fin, and how much water their pockets holds?

For reference, my XL jets hold about 1100g of water per pocket. They have max depth of 8.5" (at bottom, usable depth is less), (unstretched) height of 3.25 or 3.5", and width of 4.25" as measured at the mouth of the foot pocket, around the center (where tallest/widest).

However, there may be some variance in jet fin pockets and the shape the pocket has stretched into over the years - I got mine off ebay, so I have no idea when they were made...

Here's a pic of mine (the tape is just for a test of some homemade padding for the spring straps):

For ScubaPro XL jets:




Perhaps someone could post the equivalent measurements for the XL Hollis fins?

I definitely like the look of these. May have to sell those Dive Rite fins I have laying around to try these out.

What size will fit my Pinnacle Orca II booties Size 9.5 US or 43 EUR? Today I use XS Scuba Turtle fins and they much perfectly.
Wonder how they are compared to the Turtles under the surface.
Any one with experience?

And yes they look great.

There should be a size chart for the pocket of fins.

Hope these shots give an idea of the size of the foot pocket on a pair of XL Hollis F1 Fins.

Sorry the delay in pics as I have been out using them.

Tnx Aussie for the pics. I am sorry too for the long delay (my, of course).

This are pics of my XS turtles with Pinnacle Orca II boot.

It seems to me that the F1 and the turtles match in size. Maybe the shape of the pocket can make a different between them.

Hope it will help.

P.S what kind of booties and size do you use?

Regards
