Oceanic Vortex V-6 Full Foot Split Fins

2017-08-24T17:51:12

Ive had these fins for eight years now and I take them on my spearfishing weekends when I need to pack light. I spearfish in reef areas and I access them through the beaches on foot. I have a pair of Mares razor pro which evidently give me greater thrust but these are reliable, light and durable.

These are the best flippers I ever used for fresh water. They feel comfortable and give me a lot of thrust with very little effort.

I bought these in Hawaii on a whim, looking around Captain Jack's Dive Locker ( a great store) in Kailua while my wife looked for a snorkeling vest. Never looked back; great fins, light, easy to maneuver, easy on/off, comfortable. I've never used them diving, so can't say, but for snorkeling and a little easy free-diving they're great. They're also good travel fins, MUCH lighter than the other full-foot split fins I've seen. They're a little long, can't get them in my suitcase so I bought a fin bag to carry on the plane. BTW, I bought the open heel version of these and they were WAY too heavy. Kona entries are rocky, so I'm waiting for a lightweight pair of open heel split fins to come along, but for now, I just tough it out on the rocks. These fins are worth it!

I'm a womens size 9 and the 7/8 size fits perfect on me. I've used my first set over 50 times (snorkel/skindive/scuba) and highly recommend these fins. They're very comfortable, durable, and make my speed impressive. They stir up little sediment and greatly reduce leg cramps compared to other styles I've used. I love these fins so much I'm planning to order a second pair in another color :) A+

I purchased these fins for each of my daughters who have been certified for about two years. They both liked the ease of getting into them and the fit. They didn't feel any fatigue in their legs and thought they propelled them through the water as needed. They were great for scuba diving and snorkeling.

A nice fin. I bought these for traveling and they work great. The boot sits low so I don't have it rubbing against my ankle like some other fins. Overall very happy with them.

Great fin for calm conditions. Does not wear you out. Only con for this product is the sizing and it is a good size off. Should be noted before people order to prevent having to ship back.

Very efficient in the water, a great fin can extend your range and time in the water no matter how good a swimmer you are. These did just that. Excellent fins. I wear a size 9.5 mans shoe, [...] recommended a 7/8 and they fit perfect.

Bought these fins specifically to complete the PADI Divemaster Watermanship 800 yard snorkel fin. I completed it in an amazing 12 minutes flat! These fins rock. Left my other fins and booties at home when I dived Grand Cayman. In 12 dives, never chafed or caused discomfort. Also significantly improved my air consumption. These fins knocks the sox off of my $175 Mares Quattro Excels and Mares Avanti Quattros! Will consider the the Oceanic V8 open heal fins (similar to these) for colder water dives. I now exercise with these fins daily in the pool.

Excellent service. Returned fin for exchange with no issues or delays.

These fins work great, just like their larger cousins. I now own them both, one for pool work and snorkeling and the larger ones for diving and I love them both. I'll never go back to non split fins again!

Sized too small, would need next size up. Unfortunate it does not go larger that 11-12.

I live on the Big island of Hawaii and I always dive the Kona side. The fins perform excellent in majority of all conditions. I perfer these over my 3ft. long dive fins for all around use. the only time my 3ft. long dive fins are better is for diving down 50+ feet depths. Otherwise I would always prefer the oceanic V-6's beause they go just as fast with same effort. I've already purchased 4 sets of full-foot fins and these are definitely the best set of fins I own, period! An FYI - when purchasing fins, it's very important to get the right fins by determining the way you kick :)

At 6'3" and 225 pounds, I needed a full foot fin for scuba that had more power than my "snorkel" fins. I was leery of buying these, but they were a good choice. I can flutter, frog, scull, just about any kick with these. Light and comfortable besides.
