Description

A classic vented fin, redesigned to maximise performance. Utilising natural rubber in a unique density gradient, this fin delivers a comfortable foot pocket combined with optimised stiffness for finning performance. The vented design allows water to flow along the blade reducing drag and fatigue, whilst the stiffening rails and ribs ensure that the blade of the fin is driven through the water to maximise the return on effort. The Tech Fins were developed with technical divers in mind with a slightly negative buoyancy characteristic but is suitable for all levels of diver looking for a high-performance rubber fin. The wider blade gives manoeuvrability without compromising the power which is there when needed, while the shorter length improves agility and makes stowing the fins for transport more convenient. Spring straps with comfortable heel pads keep the feet securely held in place and these spring straps can be removed and changed easily with everyday tools if required. The Tech Fins are supplied with a hanging/carrying strap which may be used to attach them to a BCD or harness for carrying, leaving both hands free for climbing ladders or carrying other gear. The natural rubber material of this fin is extremely durable, and all components are recyclable at end of life.

Fourth Element Tech Fin

Propulsion that works with your kick, not against it

Fin choice changes your diving more than most people expect. A stiff tech blade gives you a frog kick, a back kick and a helicopter turn — the skills we teach in GUE Fundamentals and use on every Sydney shore dive to stay off the bottom and out of the silt.

Softer blades and travel fins are a different job: easier on the calves, kinder in the luggage, better for long surface swims and warm water.

Bring your boots when you come in. Fin pockets are sized around them, and a fin fitted barefoot will be a size wrong by the time you're in 6.5mm boots.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our gear, courses, and policies.

What is the difference between open heel and full foot fins?

Full foot fins — like the Cressi Agua or the Pro Star — go straight onto bare feet and are great for snorkelling and warm water. Open heel fins, which is most of what we sell, take a boot and work for both scuba and snorkelling. Almost everyone diving in Sydney ends up in open heel fins with a boot.

Can I wear neoprene socks instead of boots in open heel fins?

No. Open heel fins need a boot — the foot pocket and heel strap are built around one, and a sock will not support your foot or protect it on the walk in. You can wear a sock inside your boot for extra warmth, and plenty of people do through winter.

Should I bring my boots when buying fins?

Yes, please do. Fin pockets are sized around the boot, and a fin fitted barefoot will be a size wrong by the time you are in 6.5mm boots. Bringing them saves an exchange later.

Which fins should I get for scuba?

Blade stiffness should match how you actually kick. A stiffer blade gives you a frog kick, a back kick and a helicopter turn — the skills we teach in GUE Fundamentals and use on every Sydney shore dive to stay off the bottom and out of the silt. Softer and travel blades are easier on the calves and better for long surface swims and warm water.
