Hi Pete
Speak to Gletwyn. He is ordering from freedivers this week so the courier costs are shared with the rest of his order. I do not know what the price is (i guess R600) for a pair of freediver blades (foot pockets and fin blades). The fins come assembled and ready to use. I have not used these fins before, but know guys in PE who are not complaining. A set of Omer Milleniums from Louis at Rabitech will set you back R1595 or thereabouts plus R70 courier.
I would also suggest that you try to fit a pair of fins on at Mikes to get your correct foot size. You want a fin to fit snuggly and not murder your circulation. An oversized footpocket and loose fitting fin is disaster waiting to happen in rough water.
My 2 cents worth.

I hear you about the size issue. My current fins are too big and you can't jump in without them coming off. Just bought a pair of socks though, so should sort that out for the mean time.
I've been quoted R1500 bucks or so for fins, will have to wait for the economy to turn around first. :cry1

Hi Pete,
Just to let you know, i have a pair of the freedivers fins ,that I paid about R1100 with courier fees, about 2 months ago.
I dont have much experience with fins etc seen as I have only been diving for about 2 years, but so far I am very happy with the freedivers fins.
A friend I dive with has the Picasso Black Team fins and I have tried them, the Freedivers have a softer foot pocket which makes them more confortable and your feet dont get that sore that quickly, while with the Picasso the first few times you dive with them you want to cry from the pain that the stiffer pocket gives you. But other than that they are much of a muchness.
Anyway, thats just my 2c worth from my experience, good luck with trying to get a new set!
