I loved how its a shorties but the power of the fin is amazing. And it's very handy when it comes to traveling because its a shorties. I also love how light it is and it doesn't make my ankles hurt.
There is a little hardness, but it looks beautiful! My husband and I love it in different colors. I often shoot videos underwater, it's very stylish.
The blades are beautiful. In hindsight, I would have chosen a softer blade. But they are still fast and efficient. The foot pocket I purchased, from the same website is much too large (width) and I wish to change them out. Thank you for your beautiful construction.
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.
It was a perfect fins that i have use.
The best carbon fiber fins out there. I've been diving for 5 years now - spearfishing, line diving, and underwater photography. I've had the opportunity to try on lots of different fins and alchemy has always been the best. The fins are extremely light, smooth, and look the best in the water! I've put these fins through a lot too, in and out of lots of boats, I've sailed across 2 oceans, once for 80 days, and the fins held up just perfect! I highly recommend the fins and I have no intentions of changing which fins I take out on the water!
A few years ago, I needed a pair of new blades when I lost my beloved pair of Fiberglass DiverR's to 6000ft of water. I quickly was interested in Alchemy because of their high quality engineering processes in development of these blades. I always try to give my business to a company that does things the right way and stands behind their product. I love the lightweight of these blades and also durability of them when spearfishing. Customer service is also excellent and responded with a youtube video for an issue I had. I was able to fix immediately. This is a great company that produces an exceptional product with engineering processes. I will buy my next pair from them if mine ever break, but I don't think they will.
Although I have a few pairs of carbon fins, the v3s are without doubt my main pair. I use them for teaching, training, fun dives etc, so they are extremely versatile. The blade is extremely light and responsive and they make the return journey on any dive a real pleasure!
It looks great and easy to use, but I feel the price is a little bit high. That's why even if I think about buying a new one, I end up using a handmade one.
It's light, so it's good to use.
