Diving Diving Fins Freediving fins
Freediving fins
This type of diving fins is designed specifically for freediving. Freediving is a breath-taking dive, where the diver first takes a breath on the surface, followed by a final breath and dive. Freediving fins are sometimes very long, but even in standard form they are definitely significantly longer than regular diving fins.
There are several reasons for the length of freediving fins: primarily, due to the better flexibility of these fins, the freediver kicks less, thus consuming less oxygen in his body, he needs significantly less speed to reach depth, and the long fin blade ensures a faster and more efficient dive.
You can again choose from top brands such as Cressi or Mares. The design of some freediving fins allows the diver to conveniently change blades in a few minutes, which makes it possible to regulate both the depth of dives and the individual needs of each user's body. The angles of the blades of freediving fins further streamline the kicking efficiency, saving the user valuable energy.
Freediving fins are boot-shaped and structurally suitable for spearfishing. Closed-toe fins differ in the stiffness of the blades. Softer blades of freediving fins are especially appreciated by beginners. Stiff blades are chosen by more advanced and physically fit freedivers who can already develop more force for a more effective kick.
Blades are made from various materials, such as rubber, polymer, and carbon. Carbon blades are extremely soft and have low drag. However, they are more susceptible to damage in certain areas, which is why it is a good idea to use a protective bag for freediving fins.
