    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.

    nice but buckle broke the 3 rd time

    I had a pair of fins that are similiar in style for 20 years and never had a problem. Wanted to upgrade to a more flexible pair of fins and broke on day # 3...Read complete review

    I had a pair of fins that are similiar in style for 20 years and never had a problem. Wanted to upgrade to a more flexible pair of fins and broke on day # 3 of diving. Not an aggressive diver and I consider myself advanced. 400 plus dives.

      Comments about Oceanic Viper Open Heel Fins:

      I am new to scuba diving but I have used these fins now for several dives and they are effective and comfortable. I have ordered the spring straps for these fins to make them easier to get on and off. Great buy for the cost!

        New diver and I only dive warm water. Also used them for snorkeling. These fins worked great and moved me through the water effortlessly. Very comfortable with Tusa boots. I find the extra spring strap I purchased added greatly to the ease of taking them off and on.

          Comments about Oceanic Viper Open Heel Fins:

          My only issue is that they are quite large for being an X-small and I have to cinch down the heel strap so much to keep my foot in the pocket that my toes rub inside.

              Provide great kicking power. Enough so that I often find myself kicking far less often than my dive buddies to go at the same pace. Very comfortable, and cramping hasn't been a problem.

              My only complaint is that the included dive straps kept slipping off of the heel of my booties. Thankfully, the fins fit snug enough that they stayed on long enough for me to notice before they came all the way off. I bought the EZ Spring Straps and they solved all my problems.
