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 OH fin liner has been developed to fit the foot perfectly without creating any pressure points or discomfort. As the foot is perfectly supported, there is no loss of energy due to the movement of the foot in the liner, optimizing the transmission of energy developed by the legs when swimming.
Canopy
The flat part of the fin that contributes to its power.
The SCD 500 OH fin is surprisingly flexible, but 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.
Easy to put on / foot support
The fin straps on the SCD 500 OH are made of natural rubber and polyamide. Elastic, they allow you to adjust your fins perfectly to your feet.
Very easy to use, they will make classic fin straps with clip-on buckles completely obsolete.
Size S: 36-39, elastic length 20 cm
Size M: 40-43, length 22 cm
Size L: 44-47, length 24 cm
Comes with two "reducers" to adjust the strap to the ideal length for optimum comfort.
Stability
The lateral ribs, the position of the fin centred in the middle of these ribs and the lateral fins or fin tips ensure excellent fin stability, whatever the finning technique (classic, scissor or frog-kick).
