I've used them for scuba plenty of times and once in the water they're great as long as your legs are used to them. They're amazing when there's current. (Watch your air consumption barely change while everyone else's goes through the roof.) However, if you have to do giant stride entries, I find being so long they're in danger of being pulled off as you hit the water. (Almost lost one that way and had to grab it before it sank.) You can get them handed to you in the water, but obviously no good if there's waves or current as you'll have trouble getting back to the boat to collect them. Fine for roll back entries as long as you're careful not to knock anyone else out with them. Also be prepared for everyone to stand on your fins on the boat since they're longer than expected.
@@naqibnazori No probs :) I wouldn't necessarily say not to buy them if you want something that you can use for scuba + freediving. (Probably wouldn't recommend for scuba only unless you do a lot of current dives.) I really like this fin once I'm in the water for scuba, it's just they're not good for giant stride entries where you may have trouble getting the fin back if they come off when you hit the water as they don't float, which makes them inconvenient to use scuba diving. (So never had a big problem in calm water where I can jump in then grab them off the boat, but they're problematic where I live locally where the water's often murky with current and swells as I've almost lost them a couple of times trying to use them here. So depending on your conditions may be a good or bad choice for scuba diving.) As a tough freediving fin they're great and I've found they seem to stand up surprisingly well in performance against many (more expensive) fiberglass fins. Hard to break them (know someone who had them run over by a scooter though I don't recommend it). Probably fine to get most people down to at least 30m for freediving. Like most plastic fins are harder in cold water which may be a good or bad thing depending on how you like to kick with them. The cressi frogs feel quite different to the garas. If you haven't used freediving fins before if it's possible see if you can demo some and see what you think. Probably love or hate them :)
What if i want to upgrade to better fins and use the pockets?
You can't. They're molded together. You'll need to buy another set of fins.
Im a cheap-ass mofo. Could this fin suitable for scuba diving too sir?
If you feel comfortable, sure!
