I am traveling to Thailand and am looking for snorkeling gear, I hate long fins, I would really like a short pair, I think these would work?

possibly, I have worn in a pool for lap swim only, but they certainly increase your speed as opposed to no fins at all,

I have a pair and like them a lot. not sure what you mean by 'work'?. they work for me, but can't compare to longer fins as I never owned any.

I found them to be pretty heavy actually. I don't think they would work very well snorkling. They are basically a training aid to learn to swim better but I guess you could give it a try.

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

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

I would recommend wearing a lightweight long sleeve shirt instead. These are quite thick, and most comfortable when getting wet.

No they are much to small for that. You may be able to email the owner Jay and ask if he can make larger ones. I use them for my scuba gear, they stick to everything.

These fins are extremely buoyant. They are great for lap swim, but if you like to swim under the water when snorkeling, as opposed to floating on top, you will have to wrestle with these as they tend to make you float feet-up. Better to have neutral fins for snorkeling.

Realistically, prolly not. It may be possible but you would be cramming everything in and it would have to be placed just right. I mean if the fins were two adults and two children its more likely, but with all the gear... I wouldn't think so. But it also comes down to the length and fin size. My fins are extra long and made to fit my size 15 feet... but others are claiming it will so perhaps it will. It is a really big bag so depending on what size everything is then maybe. Doubt you'll get shoes in though.

I did not use when snorkeling. I used these shoes in a water aerobics class. I did not have any trouble with them slipping while exercising. I think they would be OK.

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

They fit my large Décor fins pretty good (very similar to scubapro jet fins). But as with all replacement fin straps they are a little thinner than the originals. So you either need to tape them with good electrical tape or as I do with black zip ties to make sure they don't slip. Of course they will only fit you after you do this.

I have the medium pair and the measurement from the heel to the tip of the fin is 15". We were snorkeling in the French Polynesian islands, so it wasn't heavy duty stuff. It worked very well for us.

A large would probably be your best fit. However, Go to a local dive shop and try on a couple. That will give you an idea of what you will need. It can be a crappy thing to do to a small business owner so I always try to buy something I need for my gear bag. Just for letting me try one on.

Hi Destinee Fins are about 17" at the longest point and 8" at the widest. The bag the set cones in is 23" x 10" wide. I cant remember if the mask is in a case or i stopped at dive shop and got one. You may be able to find a tupperware that you could use. You should stop at dive shop to get anti-fog solution so you could get a case there. Spit also works as anti-fog but most women find that repulsive. Hope this helps. If you have any other question let me know. Tom

I do not think swimming sox work under these fins I tried that and it was very uncomfortable. I agree you need XS/S or go to a different type that has women's sizes.

Works well with waders ....used them the other day barefoot and they are uncomfortable after only a short time. Keep in mind we use them while in fishing tubes (like small boats ) to get around the lakes. I may try them with a pair of those water shoes on and see how they feel... In the summer i rather fish without the waders (which have the boots attached) so trying to find the most comfortable way to wear these flippers to be able to move around the lake.... Def not barefoot.... Hope this helps

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.

I have purchased a pair of TYR Sport Burner fins for each of my grand children and they all love them. I got a size XSmall for the 7 now 8 year old. They were a little big but he is still wearing them. I think they really like the shorter fin as they aren't so awkward in them.
