Efficiency and power
At Subea, we have developed a "fin robot". This robot is a test bench for measuring the fin's propulsion output and the energy required from the diver. From this we can deduce the efficiency of a fin.
We use this robot throughout the development of our products to correlate our sensations in use with a scientific measurement.
Each fin prototype is tested until we obtain the product that meets our expectations.
Slippers
The part of the fin where the foot is positioned.
The SCD 500 fin shoe has been specially developed to fit snugly over the foot and optimize the fit of the fin on the foot. This means you never have the feeling of losing your fin, and maximum energy is transmitted to the fin's blade.
Canopy
The flat part of the fin that contributes to its power.
The SCD 500 fin is surprisingly flexible, yet provides remarkable power in all conditions.
SUBEA has developed this fin to provide maximum thrust (fin power) while maintaining a flexible fin for maximum comfort when swimming.
Its central channel deforms to maximize thrust.
To test it is to adopt it.
Dimensions and weight of fins (size 42/43)
Length: 66 cm.
Width: 22.5 cm.
Weight: 1.4 kg (pair).
Positive buoyancy (floats slightly)
stability
The lateral ribs, the position of the fin centred in the middle of these ribs, and the lateral fins or tip of the fin ensure excellent fin stability, whatever the finning technique (classic, scissor or frog-kick).
