Review
The Oceanic Predator Freediving fis are efficient, powerful and great for anyone starting free diving as a new hobby. The fins are rigid yet lightweight with a simple ribbed blade design for dynamic propulsion with every stroke.
The full foot design provides a snug and secure fit for maximum comfort while also maintaining a stable kick with the open-water hunter in mind.
The rigidity of this fin generates a noticeable spring action that helps propel you without much stress in all flutter, dolphin and frog kicks. These fins are designed for enhanced energy efficiency allowing you to spend longer in the water, without excessive effort.
When hunting with a speargun, the less conspicuous kicks are also good for blending in with the other fish.
Features
There are a number of features that have made the Oceanic Predator Free Dive Fins popular for freedivers and open-water hunters. In getting the fins on, the sturdy closed heel foot pocket comes in 5 sizes to fit a wide variety of divers and has a wide pull tab on the heel for easy donning.
A ribbed blade and side rails help focus the power of every stroke for enhanced power transfer and stability. While the 35-inch heel-to-blade-tip fin boasts a rigid design to accomplish the desired efficiency. The long blade allows for some flex – providing a springboard-like action at the beginning of every kick.
The Oceanic Predator Freediving are available in a cool blue camo print and can be purchased as part of a matching mask and snorkel set.
Foot pocket
The closed heel foot pocket offers a sturdy design that comes in 5 sizes to fit a wide variety of divers. To make donning and doffing easier for beginners, a large heel pull tab is included on the back which can help in pulling the fin on and off.
In addition, the full foot design provides a snug and secure fit for maximum comfort while also maintaining a stable kick.
Blade
These fins boast a ribbed long-blade design allowing for a dynamic yet streamlined fin stroke. The blade’s rigidity achieves an obvious spring in each kick which helps to attain an efficient thrust without losing too much power.
However, the long blade does support a little flex at the beginning of every stroke, allowing for enhanced comfort and increased propulsion as the water stream is directed off the tip of the blade.
Along the long-blade edges, side rails have been included to better channel the energy spent in each flutter and dolphin kick for more efficient power transfer and increased stability when freediving and open-water hunting.
Overall, this blade is comfortable and extremely efficient.
Price/Quality Ratio
These closed heel fins are reasonably priced. On the whole, you’ll enjoy all that these open up for. They cost a little more than average fins, but it’s the material and profile that makes them an above-average product.
These fins are made to be energy efficient and ideal for those who want to get into freediving or even spearfishing. The energy efficiency of these fins coupled with the design’s enhanced comfort provides a fantastic beginner experience for a very sensible price match.
We definitely recommend the Oceanic Predator Freediving Fins for both free divers and open-water hunters. As they are designed for efficiency, you are less likely to tire out quickly and can therefore enjoy a while longer in the water.
Comfortable, powerful and efficient, these fins are great for all levels of divers. Just like Ocean Ramsey, they make your strokes look smooth and cool.
