Flipfins™ in Action

The scuba fin is designed to propel divers swiftly and smoothly through the water. On land, however, fins can prove to be problematic and even outright dangerous to walk in.
Omega Aquatics has changed all that with the invention of Flipfins™, a series of high-performance fins that allows divers to switch from walking with the fin blade up to swimming with the blade extended without using their hands. This makes walking, climbing boat ladders, and other movements as easy as wearing ordinary shoes.

Flipfins™ have been adopted and are currently being used by Military, Navy, Special Forces and Rescue Divers in US and worldwide. These are the only fins that can be worn during airborne water entries, whether jumping from 20,000 feet or a rescue helicopter.
