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!

Would recommend you wear with a 2mm fin sock also and that does take up a little room. The back scrap is forgiving.I would go with the XL . A too short fin is the last thing you want.

I personally would not. There is not back to adjust the tightness of the fins. For comfort reasons i wouldn't. I think they make socks which are like boots in material just, a sock in a sense.

I do use booties with my open-strap snorkel fins (a different fin by same manufacturer). My feet tend to blister easily, and I find less irritation when I wear the booties.

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.

not in less you find an XrXrXr large pair !! O , or an Xr large and you have skinny feet.. Shop around and if you find a pair that fit, then check them out on 'amazon' .. The ankle strap is the only reason i have not lost these fins !! and well worth any Extra moola !! Lost 2 pair in past years body surfing until purchasing these.. Good Luck J.

that is EXACTLY the function of the fins, and they work great! They are adjustable in height - you can pull them out further or keep them short depending on the size of your ear, they hook gently to the area right above your ear canal, below the upper cartilage at the top of the ear.

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.

Not sure for the scubapro jetfins but I use them with my ( US Divers Admiral LX Island Dry Trek Snorkel ) fins they work great Hope this helps.

I'm not sure- I can tell you they are well made . I purchased 3 pairs of these for myself and family. They fit well in s suitcase & have been all over the world with me. I've had them for 5 years. Good investment if you snorkel on vacation .

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.

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

These flippers are nice. We use them for basic diving and snorkelling, and they are great. I cannot compare with the short fins, but I imagine packing short fins is easier than long ones.

Men- but they do run narrow. If you have wide feet it's gonna be a real tight squeeze. If they fit they are great fins.

I have size 8 feet and they work fine. I would think the width of your feet would play more of a factor on whether they would work. Don't think they would do well if your feet are narrow. Not sure about length. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Definitely. My husband and I used it precisely for that during a recent trip to Aruba. We had no problem putting in two sets of mask, fins and snorkels, plus my Hero 3 camera, lotion, sunglasses, keys, small purse, etc. This is definitely NOT a one-person bag for snorkeling gear. It is really designed for a scuba diver with a large wet area and a small dry area, and could easily accommodate a mask, fins, a snorkel, a regulator a BC and some weights (sorry, then tank wouldn't fit!).

It would depend on the type of fins that you are using but it is possible. I was fit my Tusa split fins, sport snorkel fins, 2 masks, 2 snorkels and 2 towels. There is a separate zippered pouch that can hold your sunscreen, keys, wallet etc.
