Anyone have an extra pair lying around? I'm hunting for some for my buddy.

My husband loves jet fins! You can still buy them new from aqualung. I know this prolly doesn't help but......

What size do you need Doug? I know someone with a pair of large jets that don't fit him.

Errr, I think XL in Jets, the guy has size 12 feet but won't be using rock boots.

Are they too small or big? What size shoe does he wear?

Hey Doug - I've got the XL Jets which I use when I dive with wet boots and I have size 11-11.5 feet. When I wear my drysuit with rock boots, I have to wear Turtles. Erica wears my XL Jets with her rock boots, and a smaller pair when she's in warm water diving wet. Sorry I don't have an extra set for your bud, but I hope this sizing helps.

We went with XL Jets (ebay, $40 . . .) he's not going to be in rock boots (we'll actually be stretching some size 10 neo boots

), so I think it will work. If not, I have Turtles and smaller feet, so we could probably swap.

Doug, he's got about the same size feet and the larges are too small. I had larges for a while and they barely fit my size 11 feet with 5mm neo boots. I think the XL's should work for him. $40 is a good price.

Thanks Jake,

Those made sense, my understanding is the XXLs are larger than Turtles . . .

We'll see next weekend. This is a friend who got certified in Thailand, he happens to be about my same size, and I happen to own two complete sets of scuba gear at this point (minus fins, hence the purchase) . . . so we are going to go practice buoyant, feet-first, ascents in Cove 2 (err, I mean get him used to drysuit diving).

Should be fun.
