You could use a monfin for Scuba. This is illustrated in the film the Big Blue but generally monofins are only used for free diving. There is a good reason why SCUBA divers a fin on each foot and why they are generally moderate in size. Normal fins give you a lot of control in the water. Swimming with a monofin gives you a very limited in finning technique which might cause a lot of practical problems unless you just want to swim.

Do you need a mermaid tail mono fin to swim?
Monofins can have advantages in swimming efficiency for freediving. Monofins are also commonly used in underwater orienteering, a scuba based sport where fast swimming is essential. However, divers in this sport hold the scuba tank in their hands in front of them, not in a harness on their back like a recreational scuba diver. When the tank is worn on the diver's back, it interferes with the traditional monofin's function in a way that tends to negate the fin's advantages. Furthermore, a traditional monofin will induce body pitching that will sometimes result in the diver getting hit on the back of the head by the tank valve. A new type of monofin that uses a hydrofoil instead of the traditional flexible fin blade has succeeded in solving these issues and can be used with standard scuba equipment. Little to no body-pitching, and very efficient thrust production solve the monofin issues with scuba and provide advantages over bi-fins for swimming speed and reduced air consumption. See here the DOL-Fin X-15 monofin being used with scuba. See the related link for further information.
