Best Answer

Fins provide much greater force in water than your bare foot, due to the increased surface area. This increased force is necessary because the additional equipment needed for Scuba diving (tank, buoyancy compensator, regulators, etc...) increases the amount of drag and weight of your body in the water. Without fins, you would use a great deal of energy and not get very far.
