DESCRIPTION

Whats in the box:Quick Release Fin Rubber Straps

Just imagine...a high performance fin you can also walk in when entering and exiting the water...who knew?
The days of dragging your fins in and out of the water are finally over!
Dynamic Scuba Fins (or "flip fins") are a totally new class of fins.
Take them out once and you will never go back to traditional fins.

The revolutionary and durable Aqua-Hinge mechanism and highly efficient blade design provide an essential combination of performance and safety for scuba divers at all levels.
For Swimming, no other fin can match the power and comfort provided by the Amphibian, which features a prominent central web configuration contributing to increased propulsion and reduced load required during sustained kicking.

A natural evolution within the dive industry, the Amphibian fin system is designed to be strapped on prior to entering the water and removed after exiting. The heavy-duty springs push the soft blade webbing up to ride gently against the shin while on the surface. This makes walking, climbing boat ladders and other movements as easy as wearing no fins at all. Once in the water, The Amphibian blades are flipped down into swimming position by simply kicking naturally in the water, and flipped back up by pushing back on the release levers before getting out.

    I liked at first, but after about 10 shore dives one fin cracked up the middle under the boot. Then after about 15 dives the latch broke. So no more flip fin. If you do boat dives these fins would be great, if you shore dive, put them on in the water.

    Other than they are a bit hard to get locked in position when in the water, these were awesome and I got a ton of questions from other divers that want a pair.

      Comments about Omega Aquatics Amphibian Flipfins Scuba Fins:

      I've used Omega Amphibian Flip Fins EXCLUSIVELY for the past 3 years and there's a reason for that.
      They're that good.
      95% of my diving (roughly 200 dives a years) is done in south Florida in heavy current....they handle the current very well.
      More than half of that 95% is beach diving.
      How nice is it to be able to walk into the surf ready to go....no fumbling with donning fins while the waves toss you around, making your life miserable?
      Boats dives?....Lovely.
      I'm usually the person who's all geared up, walking around helping everyone else shuffle and struggle to the platform in regular fins.
      Walking around in these fins is no different than walking around in your dive booties.
      I've read a few posts from folks who say climbing a ladder in these is difficult.
      I don't have much trouble with ladders. If you wait until the fins are fully flipped up, No Problem.
      If you still don't feel comfortable climbing the ladder in them....you can do what everyone else who wear a regular fin does....take em off and hand them up to the deck hand.

        Comments about Omega Aquatics Amphibian Flipfins Scuba Fins:

        I have used these fins for two years and over 100 dives. It took some getting used to the technique of climbing up a ladder. They are great for a crowded boat; I have used them on several beach dives with no problem. The locking mechanism has held up well.
