Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Vortex V-16 Split Fins:

These are my first fins and they are great. Without any effort I zoom past people and have to slow down. The only thing I noticed, not sure if this happens with other fins, is the first few times I used these fins the outside bottom of the fin (where my foot is) was slippery on the ground (pool). It is no longer a problem as the bottom is now scuffed from being rubbed on hard/grainy services.

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Vortex V-16 Split Fins:

My wife and I manage to get about 30 dives in a year and we have always used a traditional fin. I was surprised at how effortless it was to use this split fin. When I first used them I mistakenly associated less effort with less propulsion which was definitely not the case. [...]

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Vortex V-16 Split Fins:

I have been a Master Dive Instructor for over 15 years. I have used alot of different fins over the years and these are some of the best I have used. The first time I used them I wasn't sure I had fins on because of the ease of kicking. With the spring straps they are way easy to put on and take off. A pleasure to dive with.

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Vortex V-16 Split Fins:

I am an advanced female diver whom couldnt wait to try out this fin. It was all and more than I had hoped for. Completely comfortable, much less leg stress w/o comprimising the power of thrust. I felt much more at ease and maneaverable with my camera and the fin straps are easy to manipulate while donning on and off. It certaintly made my last diving trip to Roatan much more pleasurable. I love this fin. They feel like a natural apendage while diving down under.

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Vortex V-16 Split Fins:

Effortless speed at half the air consumption. These fins have arrived & you should believe the hype. Excellent in twisting turning situations or flat out speed. I don't care if you're bugging or spearfishing, these will get you on the prey! (my dive-master said they weren't worth it,...now he's chasing me across long flat out stretches.)
They cost a little more, but one use & you'll see where that money went.

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Vortex V-16 Split Fins:

Good fins!!! Fins are easy to get on and off plus very, very comfortable. As for the speed and efficiency...I'll have to get back with you on that one, I only used them a few times, in very calm water. Great for all divers.
