The best diving gear Of 2007 - Oceanic Viper

Oceanic Viper

Oceanic Viper

The Viper proves you don't have to spend a lot of money to get a great fin. This kicker is designed light and comfortable from a winning combination of materials, all at a winning price. A soft rubber foot pocket supported by a thick rubber heel strap abuts an oversized blade made with a combination of resilient rails and stiffening panels that flank a soft rubber center. This combines for a comfortable fin that delivers respectable speeds and thrust while excelling in tight cornering maneuvers. There isn't a kicking style this fin doesn't embrace, and in this year's fin tests, it was one of only two fins test divers rated Very Good in virtually every ergo category. $89.95. www.oceanicworldwide.com.
