– UTD TECHNIQUES – NEUTRAL OR NEGATIVE FINS 1. Fins help balance you in the water. 2. Choose the proper fin based on your exposure suit. 4. Dry suits and 7mm wetsuits generally require negatively buoyant fins. 3. The more neoprene or undergarment loft on your legs, the heavier the fin you need. 5. 3mm wetsuits, rash guards, and bathing suits generally require neutrally buoyant fins.
