If driving terms were used to describe dive gear, one could say, "When you're diving with the Caribe X fins, you've got four on the floor." These high-performance fins allow you to practically fly through the water with minimal effort. The lightweight design is ideal for divers who travel and don't want to risk extra luggage weight. The soft full foot pocket offers a comfortable fit and is perfect for warm-water diving and snorkeling.

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Caribe X Full Foot Fins:

PADI Divemaster here. Great fins for boat dives, but they don't hold up well if you are shore diving in surge in rocky areas. I had to send my first set back after they bent and creased in front of the foot pocket. Oceanic did replace them without argument however, and these have held up well for 4 years now. These are my go-to fins for boat diving in warm water. Lightweight, easy to travel with.

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Caribe X Full Foot Fins:

I bought these fins because I needed a fin that gave me a lot of speed. These fins filled the bill and then added some on top of that. With these fins I was able to achieve top scores on the swimming test for my divemaster class.

I needed to tow an inert diver 100 yards for the test. No problem. I did it in 1:53 minutes! I used them to swim 800 yards with a mask, snorkel and fins using just a flutter kick. Again, no problem. I completed the task in under 13 minutes to achieve top score. These fins are rockets and I love them!

They run about one full size large but the foot pocket is very comfortable and they're very reasonably priced. They're also lightweight for travel. All in all, they're a great fin.

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Caribe X Full Foot Fins:

I purchased these fins just prior to a trip to the Caribbean. They packed nicely in my suitcase and as I'd read prior to buying them, they are light and flexible. I only used them for snorkeling, not diving, but they worked great. I also used them in rougher waters and again, they worked just fine. I was concerned about the sizing after reading some other reviews, but they fit okay. I wear a size 10 and the Medium-Large fit fine. So far, I would recommend these fins.

Great warm-water or boat diving fins. Firm enough for diving, but not too stiff for snorkeling.

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Caribe X Full Foot Fins:

These fins rip. I scuba all over, but rarely now. I mainly use these to free dive in Hawaii. A few kicks get you going and then it's just fluttering to keep you flying through the water. Amazing thrust for their size. Quite soft, but have held up so far. Very comfortable. Shoe size is 8.5/9 so mine are the mediums. Not extremely snug, but still feels great and have never come off. Feels like a motor when I really push it, the water just rushes against my face. LP was half the price of local dive shops.

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Caribe X Full Foot Fins:

I wear a size 8 in shoes so I order the 8-9 fins. Fins were too big so I had to order the smaller size 6-7 which fit perfectly. Leisure Pro's exchange process was smooth and speedy. Fins felt very comfortable and had good thrust. I bought these cause reviews on the Internet said they were a Best Buy and they did not dissapoint.

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Caribe X Full Foot Fins:

These fins are the most comfortable I've ever owned; they feel like an extension of your own leg and foot. I've had fins costing four times the price of these, including "famous brand" split fins, and I wouldn't trade. And, their supremely light weight is a huge bonus with today's luggage restrictions.

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Caribe X Full Foot Fins:

I bought a pair of Caribe X's for a recent trip to the Turneffe Islands in Belize with my wife and two children. None of us are divers, although we did a one day Discover Scuba course at Turneffe Flats with two 40-foot dives. The fins were great, plenty of power for scuba, and also worked well for the 2-3 hours of snorkeling we did every day. The Caribe is a great fin for travel to warm-water locations where a full-foot fin can be used comfortably. It's light, low-profile and packs easily.

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Caribe X Full Foot Fins:

Just got a pair of these fins last week and did some snokeling with them over the weekend. They were easy to put on and take off and pushed well in the water. I have been using open heal fins for 6 years but I'm glad I bought these. I am looking forward to not having to put on those soggy wet booties on my Caribbean vacations and these are just the ticket.

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Caribe X Full Foot Fins:

I tried them last week, I really like them. They are light weight, don easily, and push fast. Scuba instructor made comments that they were rental fins, but they sure performed well. I could hit 35 feet on a free dive with them a lot faster than my twin jets. I ordered the 10-11 size, I have size 10 feet. They were just a hair too big, but still worked great.
