Oceanic Vortex V6 Split Fullfoot Swim Fins Review

The Oceanic Vortex V6 Split Fullfoot Swim Fins are designed for maximum acceleration, power generation, and response during snorkeling, swimming, and diving in warm water. These fins are extremely lightweight, making them easy to carry.

These fins are beginner-friendly, while still be useful for advanced swimmers and snorkelers. The design of the fins was worked on for a long time to make sure that the fins had the right shape, angle, and size to make them easy to swim with, making them simple to use.

You do not need diving socks with these fins. However, they could help if you are between the sizes that are offered. There are 5 sizes with each size covering two men’s shoe sizes. The sizes are US 4-5, 6-7, 7-8, 9-10, and 11-12. Women can use the size chart on the Oceanic website to figure out the size that they would need.

Pros

They are lightweight and durable. Since they are made from composite material, these fins are lighter than other fins on the market. They are also more durable since the composite material is made from a blend of thermal plastic rubber and ethylene-vinyl.

Wide range of sizes

These swim fins come in 5 sizes. All the sizes are in men’s sizes. The sizes range from 4 to 12. Most people will be covered by these sizes.

Comes in five colors

These fins come in yellow, blue, pink, ice blue and black.

Good return policy

If you have any problems with your fins, you can send them back to the company and get a refund or a new pair.

One Year Limited Warranty, after you have taken your fins out for a swim, there is a one-year limited warranty, so you can have your fins repaired or replaced if they are damaged.

Cons

These fins are not meant really for scuba diving. The reason for this is the blade of the fins is quite small and so they provide little propulsion. In calm water without a current, they can be sufficient, but when the currents set in they won’t do the job.

Another problem is the sizing. Since the sizes cover two sizes, the fins could be either too small or too big if you have feet right in between sizes.

Summary

The Cressi Adult Short Light Swim Fins are great for swimming and snorkeling. Being comfortable, lightweight and efficient, these fins have become very popular options for all levels of snorkelers and swimmers. They are ideal for traveling because thanks to their short length they fit very well in your gear bag.
