Rating: Best Dive Fins Ive Tried Yet
Reviewer: Dov M., Thursday, November 17, 2011
Moved to Belize 4 months ago, and Ive gone through a number of fins, most of which dont fit me very well. I typically wear a 9-10, but in a European size 41-42, which are harder to find, and most tend to be either too short in front or too loose in the heel. The Oceanic Vortex fins both fit perfectly, and give great propulsion for snorkeling. Very happy with the purchase.

Rating: Lived up to their good ratings
Reviewer: Charles B., Sunday, August 21, 2011
I wanted a pair of easy to use fins primarily for snorkeling in South Florida. Warm water, clear reefs, and occasional underwater hunting. I have been a certified diver for over 40 years and have gone through a lot of the fin and equipment development. I just finished a week in the Keys with a chance to really test the Oceanics and now I am ordering a pair for my wife to replace her old Planas. The fit was comfortable, no feet cramps and plenty of speed with scissors and dolphin kick, particularly the later was especially easy to do with these. Sizing is very important and happily mine fit out of the box.

Rating: Great Fins
Reviewer: William S., Tuesday, August 09, 2011 - View all my reviews
These surprised me by how easily they kicked for speed and yet were great for maneuverability. Not too big, not too small and really comfortable, make sure you go down at least a size since they tend to run big.

Rating: Oceanic Vortex V-6 full foot fins
Reviewer: Louis Szabo, Sunday, June 20, 2010
When I asked for a scuba.com recommendation for a very good snorkel fin I can carry in airline baggage, they recommended the Oceanic Vortex V-6 full fit fins. We used these fins while snorkelling in the Bahamas, and we were very happy with their thrust and comfort. They required little effort from a kick stroke to move along at a very good speed. We can also use these fins for diving. Excellent product and scuba.com recommendations.

Rating: Great Service
Reviewer: Steve G., Saturday, July 03, 2010  
We ordered the full foot fins for my wife and they were just a bit to big, I got online with one of the great inside sales people at Scuba.com and with in a few seconds he had checked to insure that the next size smaller in stock and they were shipped that day. You can not beat that kind of service anywhere. The fins work great

Rating: Vortex V-6 Full Foot Fins
Reviewer: Bobbie Mallard, Saturday, May 22, 2010  
They save me a lot of energy, as I move along. the large split fins work so well. I really enjoy them and not having to wear a boot with them is so comfortable. Yet in the cold water I have a large set to use with the boot. I find it easier to use them rather than the strap, for comfort and ease of putiing them on and off/

Rating: Comfortability + High Mobility = Great Value!
Reviewer: Samuel P., Monday, June 14, 2010 - View all my reviews
I wear a size 12 shoe. I ordered the size 11-12 fins and they fit perfect. I used these fins for snorkeling off Maui and they provided excellent mobility even in strong currents with little-to-no muscle fatigue. If I can find a suitable sock I will try these fins for diving in warm waters. (An unexpected bonus - the angle of these fins made them easy to pack into my carry-on duffle bag!)

Rating: Nice Fins
Reviewer: Vincent V., Thursday, March 18, 2010 - View all my reviews
I ordered these to replace my old US Diver fins and was looking for something with a little more thrust without using as much energy. I ordered a size 9-10. The fins do seem to work very well with just a little leg motion. About the only issue I found was while I wear about a 9.5 shoe and have a wide foot these seem to fit just a tad large but not a big deal.

Rating: Powerfull Fins
Reviewer: Bernard S., Monday, March 22, 2010 - View all my reviews
These fins are powerfull and effortless to use. I was able in salt water to overcome the boyancy and swim down 12 to 15 feet which I was never able to do with traditional fins. Also I snorkeled a little over a mile each day and never felt fatigued or tired

Rating: Good value
Reviewer: Sam Newkirk, Friday, March 12, 2010 - View all my reviews
I have not had a chance to use the fins yet, but I am looking forward to doing so in April. I wear an 8.5 shoe, so I ordered the 9-10 size. I should have ordered the 7-8 size. I have socks to wear in them, so they should be OK.
