Hello everybody. I just received my new dry suit (Santi Enduro) and now I found my fins don't fit the boots of the suit... so I need new fins (and your opinion).
What do I want my fins to do?:
1) I am not into fast swimming under water and would like to have maximum response to my fin movements (subbtle positioning etc). Most from what I read on the internet seems to favor the pladdle style of fins (instead split fins). But there are divers that argue split fins are just as good. For instance if you want to make a picture of a fish and need to get into the best position.
2) from time to time I am swimming in currents. There are 'words' that also here paddle fins are better...

I hope you are able to give me some good advise what to choose. Thanks a lot.
