They seems to have great service: quick answering to emails and now excelent web pages with many top products 
Surely top quality, but you must pay for it (the Dive RocketFin mono is more expensive than other monofins, excl. Lunocet).
Here are their Freediving products:
Rocketfin - Freediving
A Dive RocketFin seems to have a large wing made of soft material (looks like it), and the footpocket material is maybe soft too. So it might have a big buoyancy change in deep diving. But in the other hand the monofin is not heavy as a wing monofin (it's just 3-3,5 kg), which can reduce the problem. In the third hand (if you have one...): If/when you ask a 20-30 degree mono, it's surely heavier with more (soft) material...
They have Bi-fins too:
Rocketfin - Hunter Pro (blades)
Rocketfin - Rocket bi-fins
This is something NEW For freediving your can maybe get (ask) a longer blade, but is it a good fin then if it is done for another purpose?
Rocketfin - Dolfin fins
For training, probably come from another manufactor, WaterWay or Russia? I've just similar ones and they are really good for training.

I am just Peter for now but I should be PeterPan soon, I was promised I'll fly
Below is partial message I got from Igor Rocketfin
"Hello Piotr. Thanks for Your latter. Can You give me a link of DeeperBlue forum?
Ok, We will make Your fin as best as We can, You will fly!
I think stiffness number 3 is perfect for You. Cheaper to send the mono to Poland, about 60 euro..."
He didn't know of DB till now so I sent him link as he asked.
Hopefully he will join this discussion soon, maybe with super discount for DB
I got preetty sweet deal, still quite expensive but I am sure this fin is worth it.

sweet deal ah? how sweet is sweet? he did me a bit of a deal on 3 fins but not as much as i expected?

So is the sweet deal to Europe:
600$ (440 €)
+ shipping 40-60 €
+ customs 3-5 % (Ukraine->EU, our Glide came via Customs)
+ Eurotaxes about 20 % depending on the country
?
RocketFin's sweet deal is a starting sale for freedivers, as far as I know.
The normal price for Dive RocketFin is 675 $= about 500 € (now).
So the total cost to Europe might be from about 600 € (sweet starting sale deal) up to 700 € (normal price with full customs, taxes and shipping).
Normally, if you buy somewhere several monos in the same time (like 5 monos from WaterWay), you can get a cheaper price and ofcourse reduce shipping costs. Let's hope that RocketFin use this kind of deal, too.

Hi for everybody. My name is Viktor Panev from Rocketfin. I`m heard that this topic is very hot for now, so I`m glad to introduce for Your attention Our products. Please You can ask Me anything, I will reply to You with joy
Hi Viktor and Wellcome to DeeperBlue!
It's really good to get information direct from you to this forum
The first question:
Monofins with 20-30 degrees angle between blade and footpocket are becoming popular among freedivers. I've tested a new 30 degree WW Glide, it's better for freediving than the standard Glide. I've seen some weeks ago new Russian monofins with a big angle, too. Those Russian angle monofins have a buoyancy (floating) problem (needs extra weights to monofins), but "the big angle Glide" is ok, it has a good balance.
So is possible to get DIVE RocketFin with a bigger angle, like 20-30 degrees, and how will you make this bigger angle?
How about the balance and buoyancy?

Yes, the monofins with angle is much better as usual fins, it is technology of future .Of course its possible to make an angle for 20-30 and even more (if You need some) But best one is You asking for, it is anatomicaly degree that make a line with legs...it is like a continues of Your body!
ABout the total ptice, Timo is nothing like You told. Usual full amount is about 500-550euro with shipping, taxes and etc!!! But after You recieve the fin You understand for what You pay probably little more then other fins. By the way, We want to come for some freediveng competition and bring fins there, in this case You can keep some money or shipping and fin will cost for You about 450euro only!!
Please, can somebody tell Me when the next international competition You have participate, I heard Egypt?
You can see the calendar of the planned AIDA competitions here:

And if you want to promote your fins, you can use the recent offer of free advertising at APNEA.cz described here: http://forums.deeperblue.com/goods-sale/85752-not-sale-free-instead.html or here APNEA.cz - Advertisement Statistics and Management
You can have your advertisement banner(s) displayed to freediving visitors up to 400,000 times per month. Well, in case of a free banner, the number is currently at 12,700 banner impressions per month for each advertiser (and it will sink with the growing number of advertisers), but I believe it is still a pretty good visibility for no money at all.

Nice the hear that it is cheaper than I calculated (or was afraid of)
Next World Championships are in Japan in June-July, so it's a little far away...
In Egypt Dahab and in Greece there will be deep diving competitions, and there will be freedivers from many countries.
More details you will find from AIDA and Apnea.cz Competition Calenders, see trux's link.

I've just added many other competitions to the list. Namely those that are not (yet) on the official AIDA Calendar. So far there are 24 coming competitions on the list for this year. And there will be certainly many more, since new announcements continue flooding in.

Viktor, I think these two competitions are the best and the easiest way for you to meet a lot of top freedivers from many countries:
In April in Dahab, the Bizzy Blue Hole Competition:
Freedive in Dahab 2010
In June the World Cup in Greece:

all of the top wold record divers will be in bahamas mid april for the vertical blue event. www.verticalblue.net if you convert one of those guys to your fin you've got it made.
hi Viktor i'll be in Dahab just after Busy Blue Hole in Dahab 9thats what i am buying my fin from you for, hopefully to set a couple of new persoanl bests.
i think the Vertical Blue comp in the bahamas is the strongest comp as far as performance but Dahab and Greece for worlds in June would be the easiest options with lot of athletes around.
