Meet the original short carbon freediving fins that pack the speed you need to get more done faster. Designed for freedivers who don’t need the extra length - such as instructors, creators, safety divers and daring fun divers - their supercharged power & nerve take efficiency further than ever. Boundary breaker, for sure.

These groundbreaking blades feature a 30 degree angle. Such an angle requires less effort from the diver when kicking, which practically translates to less oxygen consumption. Combined with the extra 3 degrees that C4 (300 & 400) foot pockets offer, the fins’ effective angle totals 33 degrees. This combination offers an “early start” of the blades’ working spectrum and makes them feel softer than they really are. The blades also feature an extraordinary mirror finish on their front side and matt finish on the back. Their unique serial number tag is embedded into the blades’ lamination, ensuring the authenticity of your Alchemy product along with a hologram tamper-proof individually numbered tag on your warranty certificate document.

V3-30 Pro feature the ultimate carbon layer positioning within each blade. Thirteen (13) layers of premium, EU-made, 100% carbon fiber, selected especially for deep sea applications, are positioned in an exceptional way, in order to offer an unbelievable bending profile, with the ultimate feedback, nerve, and speed. Having the first ever V shaped reinforcement layer that goes beyond the blade's angle, raw power comes straight from the beginning of each and every kick.

V3-30 Pro are manufactured in compliance with the most demanding standards in constant ambient temperature and humidity. 45 tons of total pressure combined with vacuum assistance (VRTM) and 12 hours post curing in temperatures controlled through PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) with a deviation of less than ± 0,1°C.

V3-30 Pro blades end in a dolphin tail shape (D.Tail). This shape gives the best performance results, based on hydrodynamics studies (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute / T. Wei) and tests made in C.F.D. software (Computational Fluid Dynamics). The dolphin tail shaped ending provides maximum thrust with the least possible energy consumption.

Our 100% silicone hydrodynamic water rails have been designed in a three-dimensional (3D) CAD environment and are produced in the United Kingdom by a high end silicone production facility. Trials and studies in C.F.D. software showed that Alchemy water rails detain and drive the water on the blade, without losing their shape, even in the toughest conditions. Even in the limit bend of the blade, the water rail retains its shape, drives the water from the beginning of the stroke and provides immediate response to the diver's moves. Compared to rubber, silicone is far superior when it comes to strength and shape maintenance under extreme conditions.

Choosing the correct stiffness & footpockets for your fins can be a cumbersome experience. Here's how to get it right.

 

Alchemy fins/blades are produced upon order. We do not keep them in stock. Lead time may vary from 5 to 25 working days, depending on workload. The normal lead time is 10 working days. Please be sure to contact us in order to know the waiting time before you place your order.

If you purchase blades with footpockets from our online shop, you will receive a fully assembled pair of fins, ready to use. However, if you only order blades and plan to attach them to footpockets yourself, please keep the following points in mind:

  • We only use glue to attach the blades to the footpockets. Please contact us for guidance on how to do it the right way.
  • Avoid drilling the blades as it will void the 5-year warranty.
  • Let us know the type of footpockets you plan to use as longer or shorter water rails may be necessary.
  • Ensure that the end of the footpockets' tendons aligns with the length of the already installed water rails. If footpockets without side tendons or shortened purposely are used, the water rails must be extended accordingly. The side edges of the blades should never be left exposed.

Please reach out to us if you have any further questions or concerns.

Throughout the years, some of the world's deepest freedivers have used
Alchemy fins to set countless World and National records.
Here's what they had to say about us.

"Lightweight, smoothly flexing in the water and very durable for the rough Swedish conditions I dive in. The feeling of diving is seamless, I find myself not thinking about having fins on- like an extension of my body movements. Thank you Alchemy, for making great products!"

"The Alchemy V330 are not only the sleekest design out there, but they are also great for performance: in fact, I have done a World Record and 3 National Records with them! The C4-400 footpockets are super comfortable and I can use the fins for hours whilst snorkeling or on a PB dive and they work without much effort. "

"I need to trust my fins the same way I’d trust a dive partner to have my back. They need not to break at depth or wear me out after an 8-hour competition. Whether I’m performing fieldwork in marine biology or shore diving for pelagics, I’m running my alchemy’s."

"I’ve been using the Alchemy V330 Pro short bifins for almost four years now, they are the best short carbon fins I have ever had! The power-to-size ratio and portability of these fins are top-notch. They also fit perfectly in my luggage and are very easy to travel with."

"Alchemy's carbon stands in a category of its own. As a former engineer, I enjoy the craftsmanship and quality they put into their products. Trusting your fins at great depths and in challenging spearfishing environments is essential. They are your life support. I recommend these fins to anyone that needs a product for performance, comfort and longevity."

"I think I was one of the very first freedivers using Alchemy. In fact I got my first pair in 2011 when the company just started. 12 years later I'm still a fan, I use Alchemy both for working and training and last year they brought me to 92 meters at the end of my deep diving season."

"My Alchemy fins are fast and responsive, with lots of power on demand. They make light work of carrying up heavy weights from the ocean floor, with instant acceleration from the bottom. And the other day I was caught in a 3 knot current and only made it back to shore because of my fins. "

"Alchemy fins design and manufacture the highest-quality fins in the world. I’ve been kicking the S model fins for over 2 years. This model is the perfect tool to get me down to the deep reefs I like to hunt and back up in the most efficient way possible."

"In my opinion, Alchemy fins are simply the best fins you can find right now in the market. I've used them for many years in several international competitions, always with great results. The responsiveness of the blade material is phenomenal and you can use them for any underwater activity. "

"A good set of fins won’t feel like you are wearing fins at all. My alchemy fins feel like a natural extension of my dive. Light and smooth, yet sharp and powerful."

V330 Pro is a great pair of fins. They are powerful when you need the power, and they are nice and soft when you want the efficiency. Love using them for pool dynamic training. They are just amazing.

Efficiency is almost same as the long fins. Very reliable and easier to maneuver in the water. Highly recommended!

The product is very well executed. Responsive and good snap despite the soft stifness. The 30 degree angle produces powerful rear kicks, but would require slight adjust to your fronts. All in all a very versatile pair of blades, perfect for traveling and as an all-arounder. Very agile for underwater photography and suitable for off-season training and instructing.
