Last week we shared our top regulator picks for that special scuba diver in your life. This week we'll let you know what's hot in the world of fins. Without a great pair of fins, even the best of divers would be a sitting duck out in the water. Your favorite diver would be over the moon for a pair of these dive fins to show up under their tree this holiday season.
2016 Holiday Fin Guide:
1. Atomic X1 BladeFin
This is the hottest new fin on the market. Just released a few short months ago, it has quickly become a favorite, especially amongst specialty divers. This fin has a shorter, stiffer blade designed to maximize your kicking power. Due to this, and the solid internal frame, you get increased manuverability for diving in tight spaces. Because of this manuverability, the X1 BladeFin is an excellent choice for tech divers, cave divers, and wreck divers. It's the perfect fin for alternate kicking styles – helicopter, scissors, frog-kick and more.
2. Aqua Lung HotShot Fin
If your favorite diver loves to travel then the Hotshot fin from Aqua Lung is the fin for them. The ultimate warm-water travel companion, the HotShot delivers the power needed for scuba diving but in a compact fin that packs easily into any carry-on luggage. This fin is lightweight and has a supple foot pocket, designed to be worn barefoot.
3. Atomic SplitFins
The Atomic SplitFin has been one of the top selling fins in the scuba industry for many years running. They are easy kicking fins that deliver high thrust, speed, and efficiency with a comfortable, low frequency kick cycle. These fins are some of the most comfortable, easy to kick fins out there.
4. Aqua Lung SlingShot Fin
The SlingShot is Aqua Lung's top selling fin and for good reason. It utilizes silicone power bands with a three-speed gear shift you can adjust to dial in the best speed-to-effort ratio and match the SlingShot to changing dive conditions and your own leg strength. This is the perfect fin for all types of divers, from those who love extreme conditions, to tech divers, to those who just love a relaxing warm-water dive.
With this list of great scuba fin choices you're sure to make this holiday the merriest and brightest of all for those divers you love. Happy Holidays from Underseas Scuba Center!
