If you’re in the market for new diving fins - whether you’re upgrading an existing setup, have just passed your Open Water certification, or are heading abroad with plans to spend lots of time in the water - we’d always recommend Scubapro. Scubapro is a brand with a reputation for performance and durability, and its diving fin range follows suit, encompassing the perfect product for every diving ability, environment and budget.
However, having so many choices can sometimes make it tricky to know which fins are right for you. Features such as blade design and the materials used all play an important part in how well a fin performs in different conditions, and these can vary significantly between the different options. With this in mind, we’ve put together this handy guide to some of Scubapro’s most popular diving fins so that you can find your perfect match.
Scubapro Seawing Supernova Diving Fins
The Scubapro Seawing Supernova is the all-singing, all-dancing option in the Scubapro range of diving fins. They sit at the top end of the range as an award-winning fin (including a Red Dot Award for product design) designed to offer supreme performance. The Seawing Supernovas are a significant upgrade on the original Seawing Novas, available in Black Graphite and White with improved construction, power, fit and overall versatility.
One of the standout aspects of the Supernova diving fins is an innovative two-piece design where the blade and foot pocket are moulded separately and connected via a durable Socket-Lock system. This not only boosts performance in the water but also makes transport easier. Once on foot and in use, these fins make the most of Hydra-Loop water channels and Pivot Control technology to automatically adjust the angle at which the fin cuts through the water, making kicking and control noticeably more efficient than other options out there.
Best for: Advanced and frequent divers seeking top performance
Scubapro Jet Diving Fins
Few diving fins can claim genuine “industry standard” status, but the Scubapro Jet fins are one of them. These exceptional fins are trusted by the military as well as commercial and technical divers worldwide and are designed to perform in even the toughest environments. They’re also a firm favourite amongst recreational UK divers, especially those diving in drysuits.
The Scubapro Jet diving fins are built to last and moulded from a single piece of durable rubber that can withstand years and years of use. They also feature a vented blade design that maximises thrust on the downstroke while reducing drag on the upstroke, making them very efficient despite a solid feel. Perfect if you’re upgrading starter fins and wanting to make an investment that will last for countless years of diving, just note that sizing can be a little complex, and we’d recommend reading the sizing information carefully and getting in touch with us for help if you’re not entirely confident.

Scubapro Go Sport Diving Fins
If you’re looking for more of a middle-ground product, perhaps as a diver who likes to do a bit of everything, look no further than the Scubapro Go Sport. These diving fins are ideal for booted holiday diving, UK conditions, snorkelling, and general recreational use, thanks to a lightweight yet robust construction in a travel-friendly design.
Featuring a revised ERGO3 foot pocket, the Go Sport comfortably accommodates full diving boots while delivering impressive performance in the water. An updated blade design, combined with Scubapro SKEGS, reduces sideslip and has an incredibly stable feel. Fitting is also quick and easy thanks to the inclusion of a self-adjusting bungee strap, while a 100% Monprene construction ensures excellent durability without the risk of delamination or torn pockets.

Scubapro Go Travel Diving Fins
If you’re upgrading your kit ready for travel, the Scubapro Go Travel fins are hard to beat. These fins are designed for divers and snorkellers who want maximum comfort and performance with minimal luggage weight. They’re exceptionally compact and easy to travel with, even if you’re jetting off to the other side of the world on a bucket-list scuba diving holiday.
The Scubapro Go Travel fins have a barefoot design which gives you the comfort and freedom of a full foot fin, yet the convenience of an open heel style thanks to a self-adjusting bungee strap. They also weigh just 1.2kg despite an ultra-durable Monprene construction, ensuring regular use and wear and tear are no match.
