Oceanic Viper Adjustable Strap Fins
Rating: Very good fin 10/11/2009

I really like these fins. The open heel style with a quick release strap makes it easy to get the fins on and off of my feet when climbing on and off of the rocks where I do my snorkeling. The combination of the fins and boot seems to add an awkward bouyancy to my feet while snorkeling, but it doesnt present much of a problem. Very powerful fin and an excellent buy.

Oceanic 6.5mm Neo Classic Heavy Duty Zipper Boots
Rating: Good not Great 10/11/2009

I bought these boots with very high expectations, most of which were met. The boots are a good fit, they fit great with my fins, and the souls are wonderfully tough and heavy duty (great for walking on the jetties (rocks)). The down side is that the boots fill with water and then dont drain, leaving the user with the feeling of walking with their feet inside of water baloons. Due to the water proof coating, it is also quite tough to get the boots to dry out after use. Overall a good boot.
