Product Description
Omega Aquatics founder, an experienced veteran of the Special Forces, recognized the need for a fin that was maneuverable both in and out of the water to eliminate the risk of military divers drifting away as they attempted to put on fins in the water while fully loaded with scuba gear and weapons. Now, after many years in development, Stealth and Stealth Max Flipfins are used by Military, Navy, Special Forces and Rescue Divers in US and around the world. Flipfins are uniquely designed to be strapped on prior to entering the water and removed after exiting. The two-piece fin brought together by a special Aqua-Hinge, which features heavy-duty, military grade stainless steel springs, allows the webbed blades to fold up out of the way to allow full mobility out of the water and click down with a first kick once in the water. The Stealth Max model's long blade provides maximum thrust and unbeatable performance and efficiency with minimum effort during operations in the open water ; as well as significantly quicker and safer entries and ascents. Available in both large and x-large sizes; Flip Fins are ultra light weight, are designed to withstand the harshest of operational conditions and feature a large, comfortable foot pocket with raised slip resistant thread design that fits most of dry suit boots, Special Ops tactical boots and any regular dive boots. Proudly made in the USA, Stealth Flipfins comply with the Barry Amendment. .

Customer Reviews
Haven't had them in the water just an FYI. I have walked around the house in them to see if I could effectively maneuver. Walking even with all my gear on seems significantly less hindered than my other fins, yet not as free as just walking in my Akona hardsoles. The majority of my past dives are boat dives (Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Bimini, Nassau, just to name a few) and fins are always a concern on entry and exit. Shore dives are generally not as tricky, if you have a fin keeper. I typically use Twin Jets but I notice getting in and out of them and maneuvering on the boat is a pain. Decided that I needed a new set of fins and was on the fence between the Scuba Pro Nova's and the Omega Flip fin. Bought the Flip Fins to see if they are worth the hype. I have read reviews that state they didn't stand up to 48 hours of military training, and in the defense of the fin; there are times when the issued equipment failed, so I couldn't base my decision on that single review.I love the deep foot pockets and my Akona hardsoles fit perfect in them. The spring seems very strong. "Air Kicks" don't lock the fin in place; not that I expected this result. The craftsmanship seems very good. I inspected both fins very close to see if I could see and stress fractures due to manufacturing. I did not notice any. The fins are a little heavier than I am used to, but I am guessing they need to be of dense material to stand up to being walked in and the frequent transition of the fin.My big concern is where the fin attaches to the boot, this hinge could be a problem. Close inspection shows it to appear sturdy but I will need to get them under stress to make a better determination. I worry about the material stress surrounding the stainless bolt. The latch for the transition is also a point of concern. I believe it may only survive a few rough dives.I have several dives scheduled in the future. A few quarry dives and a week long dive cruise in the Bahamas in a few months. I plan on being as brutal as I can in all situations. I want to test the very limits of the fins. I will provide a much more detailed review upon my return.
