Vortex V-8

The Vortex V-8's is Oceanic’s high performance and superior maneuverability flipper. The V-8 is designed to provide greater thrust while reducing muscle fatigue. The dual blade design allows the diver to make a much more efficient flutter kick, thus reducing the amount of effort needed to propel the diver through the water.

Vortex V-6

The Vortex V6 is for the warm-water diver, snorkeler, or free-diver that wants maximum power generation, response, and acceleration out of every single turn. The V-6 is extremely lightweight, yet delivers greater speed and efficiency than a lot of open heel fins. It is smaller in size and light-weight, which makes it ideal for travel.

Viper

The Viper’s is prized for its ultimate comfort, efficiency and performance. The Viper blade's Flexible Power Thrust Channel directs water off the tip of the blade for improved power and efficiency. The engineered channels and side rails direct water flow off the tips of the fin without allowing water to "spill" from the sides of the blade for uncompromising power and efficiency. It is an ideal flipper for all diving and snorkeling skill levels.


Caribe X

The Caribe X flippers are smooth and powerful full foot fins. They have a flexible center channel which improves efficiency and eliminates lateral blade movement. They too are lightweight and ideal for traveling and warm water snorkeling.

Flex

The Flex is an exceptionally lightweight fin that delivers consistent performance and response in the water. The Flex full foot fin is an ideal snorkeling fin for all levels of expertise. It is made of durable nylon and is very lightweight, which makes it easy to pack.
