Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Vortex V-6 Full Foot Split Fins:
Great fin for calm conditions. Does not wear you out. Only con for this product is the sizing and it is a good size off. Should be noted before people order to prevent having to ship back.

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Vortex V-6 Full Foot Split Fins:
Very efficient in the water, a great fin can extend your range and time in the water no matter how good a swimmer you are. These did just that. Excellent fins. I wear a size 9.5 mans shoe, [...] recommended a 7/8 and they fit perfect.

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Vortex V-6 Full Foot Split Fins:
Bought these fins specifically to complete the PADI Divemaster Watermanship 800 yard snorkel fin. I completed it in an amazing 12 minutes flat! These fins rock.
Left my other fins and booties at home when I dived Grand Cayman. In 12 dives, never chafed or caused discomfort. Also significantly improved my air consumption. These fins knocks the sox off of my $175 Mares Quattro Excels and Mares Avanti Quattros! Will consider the the Oceanic V8 open heal fins (similar to these) for colder water dives.
I now exercise with these fins daily in the pool.

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Vortex V-6 Full Foot Split Fins:
My shoe size is a 10.5 - After some research I went with the 8-9 preferring a snug fit. However, turned out to be much too small. I returned for the 11-12. A little on the loose side but no issues whatsoever. Also a great travel fin; which was the reason for my purchase. I hate to leave my Atomics at home but the V-6 is lighter and no boot required. They fit in my carry-on.
Excellent service. Returned fin for exchange with no issues or delays.

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Vortex V-6 Full Foot Split Fins:
These fins work great, just like their larger cousins. I now own them both, one for pool work and snorkeling and the larger ones for diving and I love them both. I'll never go back to non split fins again!

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Vortex V-6 Full Foot Split Fins:
Sized too small, would need next size up. Unfortunate it does not go larger that 11-12.

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Vortex V-6 Full Foot Split Fins:
I live on the Big island of Hawaii and I always dive the Kona side. The fins perform excellent in majority of all conditions. I perfer these over my 3ft. long dive fins for all around use. the only time my 3ft. long dive fins are better is for diving down 50+ feet depths. Otherwise I would always prefer the oceanic V-6's beause they
go just as fast with same effort. I've already purchased 4 sets of full-foot fins and these are definitely the best set of fins I own, period! An FYI - when purchasing fins, it's very important to get the right fins by determining the way you kick :)

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Vortex V-6 Full Foot Split Fins:
At 6'3" and 225 pounds, I needed a full foot fin for scuba that had more power than my "snorkel" fins. I was leery of buying these, but they were a good choice. I can flutter, frog, scull, just about any kick with these. Light and comfortable besides.
