Brand: Oceanic

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.

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.

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Viper Open Heel Fins:

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.
