Counterfeit

Counterfeit Alchemy fins have surfaced in recent years, especially in China and Taiwan. To stay safe, always buy from authorized retailers. If you’re unsure about a seller or website, contact us to verify. And remember, if the price seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Using counterfeit fins isn’t just illegal, it’s dangerous. These aren’t fashion items; they’re precision tools designed to bring you back from the deep. Fakes we've examined use cheap carbon, fiberglass blends, poor resin, and lack any real craftsmanship. The result? Likely failure within months, or worse, mid-dive.

HOW TO SPOT A FAKE PAIR

Serial Number Tag

Original Alchemy fins have a tag with their unique serial number on their back. The serial number dictates all the features of the fins, as well as the country they were shipped to. “Made In Greece” is also stated on the tag.

Silicone Parts

Original Alchemy fins feature silicone, not rubber, water rails. If you want to make sure that your water rails are made out of silicone, you can slightly burn one of their tips with a lighter. Silicone produces ash, whereas rubber does not.

Warranty Certificate

Original Alchemy fins are accompanied by a 5 Year Warranty Certificate. Every certificate is unique, as it states the fins’ serial number, the model, the stiffness level, and the manufacture date. It also has a hologram sticker as well as a Quality Control stamp.
Finally, it hosts a QR code which, when scanned with a phone camera, redirects you to an Alchemy landing page to validate your warranty.

Authentication

Alchemy can perform authentication of your product within 24 hours during weekdays.
Simply email your serial number alongside valid proof of purchase (if any) and two photos of your fins (front & back) to websales@alchemy.gr
