    Just returned from St. Thomas after 10 days. Dove with marine biologists for 5 of those. 4 divers, 20 double tanks a day. Serious marine surveys around the USVI. Future son-in-law in the works.
    After a few dives with my new Vipers, I can agree with other users that they are light, flexible, stronger in currents than my split fins, and don't tire out my knees after 6-8 hours of diving a day. Also, they don't smack into each other or go wacky in strong currents like my splits either.
    Some have said they are not as rigid as others. For me, this is a plus. I can dive all day, every day, and not feel any strain on my legs or knees while having excellent propulsion.
    They are large though and won't fit into a carry on. Had to put them in my main suitcase.
    I highly recommend these fins if you are going for a vacation and intend to dive intensely while you are there. You won't regret this purchase.
    Oh yeah, I am over 60 years old.

    I had a pair of fins that are similiar in style for 20 years and never had a problem. Wanted to upgrade to a more flexible pair of fins and broke on day # 3 of diving. Not an aggressive diver and I consider myself advanced. 400 plus dives.

      Comments about Oceanic Viper Open Heel Fins:

      I tried this Viper fins because my Atomic fins are too long and heavy, very cumbersome to travel. The Vipers are very light but my toe hit the inside of the fin, for this reason I sold them to my buddy, I have problems with my toe even on big shoes for walking, I wish Oceanic modify the fins and provide open toe like the Atomics. So for now I will keep using the Atomic fins (a lot more expensive).

      If you want a fexible good looking fin this is for you. I do not feel confortable when finning in a current with these fins. Use them once could not move in mediun current. Same dive with a different fin I had no problem. Great for snorkling

        Comments about Oceanic Viper Open Heel Fins:

        I purchased these fins for my wife who is a beginner diver. The size and design result in a fin that is not overly strenuous. She did have issues with a fin continuously falling off in open water dives. However Oceanic's tech department recommended checking that the straps were fully anchored on the posts. One was not quute fully locked in which was causing the cam to slip on the strap and the fin would slip off. It is fine now.
