Agree 100%. I've hammered my DiveR innegras in spearfishing comps, and they have stood up to all the punishment I've thrown at them. I also have arthritic knees and was getting sore knees with carbon fins after 2 hours of diving. I don't get any soreness in my knees anymore when diving ever since I got the innegras. I recommend them to anyone who freedives and spearfishes.

Hi Daniel, on the other video I'm surely heard that you have shorter and longer fins with you. May I know how long are both shorter and longer fins? Many thanks before!

[@alexcremona838]

Honestly ive been a little disappointed with my inegras. Mine have a stress mark roughly where some people drill (no drilling on mine). No one can tell me if its safe or not and theyre "out of warranty". I originally thought I was being pedantic when i first noticed the stress mark forming but its continued to develop and is quite pronounced now. I think it's related to the layering of the fiber (ie where they have reduced the number of layers for progressiveness) but im not able to really tell. Im not convinced I'd go DiveR again

[@DanielMann]

Interesting, I’ve never heard of that happening before. I’d definitely reach out to DiveR and see what they say.

[@alexcremona838]

So i really like that first quote. I use Dive R too. My only complaint is i do not have a dive bag that they fit in easily. Any suggestions? I am using the Rob Allen bag currently.

[@DanielMann]

I tend to fold mine a bit, never any problems.

[@KaziQTR]

I didn’t do much research on fins and I don’t know much about them. I just bought my first carbon composite fins. I was told they are harder to break and I was advised to stay away from pure carbon fiber fins. Not for their performance reasons but their tendency to snap when scratched I believe. Anyway, like you said I’ll have the biggest upgrade of my spearfishing experience by upgrading from plastic fins.

[@finnbismark]

DiveRs carbon fins in my experience, have been very durable. I have done more than 100 rocky shore for crayfish with my soft carbon DiveRs and the only difference between how I treat them and plastics is that I don’t walk in them and don’t throw weight belts on them.

[@DanielMann]

I predominately shore dive with my diveR innegra carbons. Never had an issue!

[@KaziQTR]

I have some scratches on my brand new carbon composite fins. I wonder if I should ask for a change or is it just manufacturing and the replacement would be the same. I really don’t know much about fins. Hopefully they won’t snap on me.

[@umbertosegnini7604]

[@danielvodo1]

I had a shallow water black out when my diveR inegras (first time using them) snapped on the bottom in 22m. Manufacturer blamed me for pushing off the bottom which is wild considering how flexible they claim they are! In saying that, they replaced my fins and i upgraded to mediums instead of softs and havent had a problem with my new ones. They are definitely the best fins I've ever owned in terms of comfort

[@yongli5725]

( and yes i did walk up and down that shore after so mutch people started to worrie )

[@quinnculver]

I wish there were some science on fin performance by material (and then brand, stiffness, angle etc). It's not clear to me that plastic isn't good enough.

[@finnbismark]

See if you can do a pool training session where you can try other peoples fins. The difference is huge between carbons and plastic fins if you dive often, or deep or do a lot of surface swimming they are well with the upgrade. I currently run a pair of soft diveR carbon fins and they are awesome (height 185cm weight 85kg). You can get even more of a benefit out of carbon fins if you change your kicking stroke to keep you knees a bit straighter than with plastics and do a much smaller flutter kick rather than the longer slower kicks that work better with plastic. Wayne Judge has done some excellent videos talking about the difference in performance and the best fining technique.

[@quinnculver]

@@finnbismark Thanks. I have carbon fins and do A LOT of surface swimming, often against strong Oahu current. My freedive instructor, a former USA champion, said, "I have exclusively used $100 plastic fins for the better part of last 8 years to conduct my daily training/teaching. In spite of those being sufficient for a 'professional' like myself I continue to witness the ubiquitous obsession with carbon fins."

[@DanielMann]

It’s simple maths, carbon fins are lighter and more responsive than plastic. It’s a superior material in this situation.

[@quinnculver]

@@DanielMann Undoubtedly carbon fins are better. The thing I want to know is how much better they are. Significantly? Slightly? Negligibly?

I think it should be clear to all that there are many good carbon blade brands out there, that don’t’ break any more than DiveR’s. Fins are like masks.

[@robbieg1able]

Wettie has the DiveR Ineegra for $440 and they install the foot pockets which range $80 to $110. Ships to the USA for $50. I am assuming shipping is probably the same world wide. I started off with plastics many years ago and upgraded to carbon fiber. In a short while after doing rocky rock/reef entries I started to become worried that these might break because they show signs of stress. I am pretty easy on my gear, but these dive conditions are rough. I dive in California and in Costa Ricq. I am always worried about breaking these fins and being stranded with a current in some of these areas. Your on your own if something happens or you become a burden to your dive companions. I am also worried about international travel. I don’t know what it is about going to Costa Rica, but my bags get destroyed and this worries me with my fins. I just bought a pair of these Innegras and Daniel Mann was a huge influence on this purchase. As some other have said purchase once or purchase twice. Thank you!
