    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.

    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've been using this fin for a couple weeks now and I must say that it does what it's supposed to. It is a great fin for scuba that doesn't cause fatigue in your legs and it pushes you along quite well, considering you know how to use your fins.

            The material seems to hold up well and they have a nice feature that allows you to clip the heel straps shut instead of adjusting it all the time. I have not used this fin in a current, but have used in cold water.

            These fins are neutrally buoyant so they will not mess with your buoyancy at all. All in all a great fin for the price and I recommend it. You won't be disappointed if you are looking to upgrade from older fins, or are just looking from something new.

              Comments about 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!
