Monofins

There are many different monofins that are used for freediving, but by far the most common is the hyperfin.  These are made of rubber, neoprene and a fiberglass blade.

They are very effective, fragile and super bulky / difficult to travel with.

My previous fin that I used was the Starfins hyperfin.  It met the above description to a "T".  I would never let anyone else use it, for fear that they might stretch the footpockets or break the blade.  I also could not wear it comfortable for more than :20 mins or so... so my time with it was limited and technique practice was limited as well.

With a hyperfin, it is a pain to train with in open-water for line-diving, because you can only wear it for so short that you need to change in and out of bi-fins, so that you can train and spot your buddy for a 1-2 hr training session.

I have since decided to channel all of my free time and efforts into refining the 2015 Lunocet Pro monofin to make it the best freediving monofin on the market.

I have worked with the inventor to tailor the product towards the needs of freedivers in the areas of performance, comfort, portability and durability.  I have even begun to market the product online at UltimateSwimFin.com

This fin uses cycling shoes for a super-comfortable fit and I can wear it indefinitely from a comfort standpoint.  As a result, I can train with it for the entirety of my available pool sessions and have been able to really work on technique improve my efficiency.

It is also possible to wear it for depth training, as there is no need to take it off after a short period of time.  You can also have 2 sets of cycling shoes if desired if you want one with no socks or 2mm socks for pool / warm water and maybe another 1-2 sizes larger for use with 5mm socks for COLD water training.

Because it uses "lift-based propulsion", much like an air plane wing, it produces less drag / resistance than a traditional hyperfin.

This is the future of freediving monofins and will be the best choice for MANY divers I am sure.
