Just wondering if anyone out there has taken a look at the weight of their fins while trying to achive that perfect bouyancy.

I've gotten to a point on my kit that the Turtles I was wearing was pulling my feet down and causing me to put way too much gas in the suit and pushing it to my feet to help in achiving the flat look. I've recently gone to a pair of the new OMS Slipstream fins which seem to have a very slightly possitive design to them and with a spring heal attach, they seem very close to neutral. Swiming with them is also effortless. With the Turtles or Jet fins, I always knew they were there, but with these it feels like a extension of my leg.

Just thought I'd pass this along for anyone that was interested.
