  I own two pairs of fins: a pair of US Divers Rocket fins which I use for
SCUBA and snorkeling and a pair of Dacor Plana (? I think that's what
they're called, those ones with white plastic blades and black rubber
full-foot pockets?) which I use for Underwater Hockey.  I wear the Rockets
for diving because I can fit my feet+booties into them, and I have never had
trouble swimming with them.  They are stiffer and heavier than the Planas,
but I feel I can go just as fast (or maybe faster) with the Rockets.  I prefer
the Planas for Hockey because I find it easier to maneuver in them.
I also sometimes get foot cramps with the Rockets when I swim far, but I
think that is because they are a little too narrow for my feet.
