Another issue is handling the fins when entering / exiting the sea. I've got a very light carbon MASMAT monfin, which is easy to handle when entering or getting out of the sea with a rocky coast. I also used a heavier Leader fin mono, which is much heavier and difficult to carry out safely wthout scratching it...
I see they write on the site it's same model as another brand have. Anybody know which fins are the same ones?Could recommend these fins for hunting. Find them to be a little stiffer than I like but by no means terrible. They're also great for beginners.
Hey so I wanted to let you know I ended up going with the DiveR carbons Paua power. Ive done a couple dives to 60' with them and used them hunting. They're really smooth not so snappy like the fiberglass blades I tried. They're really great for swimming up to fish without spooking them. I love them right now Im really intrigued with their Innegra fiber blades and am trying to get a pair of blades.
I wouldn’t assume any expensive fiber fins to be miles ahead of any other these days.
Miles ahead in how some of them get their fins onto social media, sure.
Personally, I have a cheap set of Spearmaster carbon blades in Pathos pockets. Done 60m on the rope with them and regularly catch fish at 25m - both of which are plenty for me at this point.
But since bi fins is now a separate discipline at the competitions, give it a year and I think we might start seeing some more proper tests.

Youtuber Dan Man has been using DiveR blades for sometime now and likes them. Bought them with his own money. I think he uses a shorter version of their blades for travelling. I think he even did a video on DiveR - there is a particular foot pocket they use and recommend (possibly Mares Razor?).
Horrendously expensive though, esp. as fins are one of those things that may or may not fit well and may or may not suit you and the way you dive. They have different models too. How do you choose without trying?
Pathos foot pockets are really soft wide while Hammerhead foot pockets are more narrow and harder.I don't have a choice where I live now, it is like living on Mars
I am thinking of bringing in these fins to use and to sell but they are the most expensive blades I have seen around and I am hesitant to spend that much money, they have to be miles ahead of the rest to justify the cost.
Just a little information on if they'll sell... Ive called all over the state of Florida looking for DiveR's innegra for my husband and everyone is sold out!
