Scuba Fins With Closed Heels

Closed heel scuba fins have rubber foot pockets that completely cover the diver's heel. Closed heel fins are designed to be used without dive booties, and are comfortable on warm water dives. However, those who dive in cold water need fins that fit over dive booties to keep their feet warm. Divers planning on shore diving, or on any dives requiring them to walk in scuba gear may prefer fins which accommodate dive booties to protect their feet while entering and exiting the water.
