Diving fins - A must-have for underwater exploration

Diving fins reinvent the underwater experience

The construction of the diving mask

The standard fins are composed of three parts: the foot cover, the fins, and the adjustment system.

Foot Pockets & Blades: Engineering Excellence for Peak Performance​​

The foot pockets typically feature thermoplastic rubber or silicone construction. Premium models incorporate ergonomic arch support to minimize fatigue during extended wear.

The blade serves as the propulsion powerhouse:

• Entry-level versions use ABS plastic for balanced durability and cost-efficiency.

• Professional models employ carbon fiber composites, delivering 40% lighter weight than plastic counterparts while generating superior thrust.

How to Choose Fins: Balancing Dive Type, Fitness & Conditions

Selecting the right fins requires balancing three key factors: dive type, physical fitness, and environment.

For scuba diving, opt for long, wide-bladed fins. Their broad surface area generates sustained propulsion with minimal kicks, conserving air tank capacity.

In freediving, choose short, stiff split fins designed for dolphin kicks. These deliver explosive bursts of speed while maximizing energy efficiency.

How to maintain the diving fins

1. Rinse with fresh water after each use to avoid salt corrosion.

2. Avoid bending the fins when storing, and hang them in a cool place is the best.
