I absolutely love my V3 soft Alchemy blades. I first tried them when I was going through my Freedive Instructor Training and compared to other blades which students and Instructors were using these were by far everyone's first choice and mine. They are light, durable and every kick feels like you are cutting through butter. I use them for all aspects of Freediving which involve Spearfishing, Teaching, UW-Photo and even at my work which involves swimming with Whale Sharks (they are really fast sometimes!).
I never thought a piece of gear would change my dives so drastically, but it did. The alchemy fins even when compared to other carbon fins are just superior, the finish and comfort it is just incredible. I do freediving and spearfishing, and for both it has fit the task. I am 205 lbs and with a medium stiffness I've found the proper balance. Definetely I'll be a costumer for years to come !
Fin has been absolutly great ... compared to just about every fin in the market .
Best fins ever!
This is a really good neck weight as it is true to its measurement and weight and the material is high quality. Also, what I love about it is it doesn’t make you feel choked especially when doing line training/depth. Some neck weights put pressure on my Adam’s apple making me uncomfortable underwater. It is also slick in design, simple, yet cool to wear. It would be nice to have some more colors for aesthetic feels. Overall, I would always go with Alchemy as it ensures top design quality.
Great!
The fins is easy to use and carry around while travelling. It has a powerful kick even when it's made of a light material. The pocket is soft and very comfortable.
These carbon fiber fins are the best ones I've ever owned, and I know a lot of freedivers who can say the same with gusto. They are incredibly light weight and I barely feel them - it's as close to my being finless during Free Immersion. You exert less energy, reach depth goals, and increase bottom time with these. 10/10 would recommend to everyone - from beginner to pro.
The majority of us changed from traditional neck weight (from tire tube) to Alchemy neck weight. From there on, we never looked back. The neck weight is very convenient during dives. It gives you less of that choking feeling since it is malleable and doesn’t interfere with our dives. You wouldn’t even realize you have neck weight till you finish the session, is amazing.
I have tried almost all the carbone fins brands.. Alchemy is far better than all!
