Located in: Essential Equipment, Fins
So fast and responsive they're scary. Precision blend of hydrodynamics and materials technology for ultimate comfort, efficiency and performance. The VIPER blade's Flexible Power Thrust Channel directs water off the tip of the blade for improved power and efficiency. The engineered channels and side rails direct water flow off the tips of the fin without allowing water to "spill" from the sides of the blade for uncompromising power and efficiency.

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Viper Open Heel Fins:

Great fins! I used them in cold water lake during my Open Water Diver course and will use them in Mexico this year. I especially like fins' quick-release feature and ease of adjusting - they come in handy when you've already got 2 tanks on, wetsuits, and all your gear in the water and then can put the fins on easily with one hand. Highly recommended!

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Viper Open Heel Fins:

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.

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Viper Open Heel Fins:

Just completed 10 dives in the Caymans, 3 in stronger currents. These fins allowed me to maneuver quickly and efficiently around in tunnels, swim throughs and other tight areas. Very comfortable! Having been prone to cramping with last fins, this issue was eliminated for me. Delivers nice power. Take their recommendations for sizing. I was doubtful at first, but after first try-on, fears were put to rest.

Excellent all-around fins
By RevJimVerified Reviewer from Philippines on 8/25/2009
Pros:
Accommodates Boots, Comfortable
Best Uses:
SCUBA

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Viper Open Heel Fins:

These fins are just great all around. Fast, easy flex, comfortable to wear. My feet are pretty wide and these fins fit perfectly. Usually I have to order a couple of extra sizes bigger just to get the right width. But these were already fairly wide for the size and feel just right (with a 3mm hard-sole bootie).

I've done about 6 dives in them so far. One dive was in a strong current and they made it feel like I was swimming in a pool.

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Viper Open Heel Fins:

Just purchased the fins and am very pleased with them. After 20+ ocean dives in moderate to strong currents, I would recommend these fins, as they are comfortable and responsive, even though the blades seem to have a lot of flex.

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Viper Open Heel Fins:

I bought these from a local dealer and have not looked back. They are hands down the fastest non-split fin I have ever used. I love them. If you do not want to spend hundreds on a split fin, you aren't going to find anything better.

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Viper Open Heel Fins:

These fins are extremely flexible in the water, and quite comfortable. They made it easy to maneuver in the water. I think a more rigid fin would provide better thrust against current, though.

I can't believe Leisure Pro listed these as "used". Not a scratch on them and still in the original bag - WHAT A BUY!!! Needed additional set to accomodate boots, and these are perfect.

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Viper Open Heel Fins:

I wear size henderson size 9 instadry 7mm boots (hard sole). So I had big worries about picking the right size. Reg was perfect and there is no way the SM would have fitted. Those fins are light and feels just right. I love them

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Viper Open Heel Fins:

I wear size 10 shoes, and bought the large set of fins to use with boots and was to big. I rated the size big, becuase they seemed a little to big for even a size 11 shoe. So if you wear a 10 go with a medium.
