Fins & Blades

Master your movement underwater with the SALT Of The Sea range of high-performance fins and blades. Designed for divers and freedivers who demand precision and reliability, our collection features modular systems built to handle rugged Australian ocean conditions. From the lightweight efficiency of our fibreglass fin blades to our ergonomically designed foot pockets, every component is engineered to maximise thrust while reducing leg fatigue. Whether you are building a custom setup or upgrading your current diving gear, our fins provide the perfect balance of power and control for effortless exploration beneath the surface.

What is this page best for?

This collection is the ultimate destination for modular fin components and complete blade systems. It is specifically designed for freedivers, spearfishers, and snorkellers who require more performance than standard recreational fins can offer. By providing separate blades, foot pockets, and fixing kits, SALT Of The Sea allows you to customise your setup for your specific diving style and environment. If you want to move efficiently through the water while wearing your wetsuits or specialised spearfishing wetsuits, this technical range provides the necessary propulsion and durability.

Choosing the right thickness

While fin blades themselves don't have a "thickness" in the same way neoprene does, the choice of blade stiffness is critical for performance. Much like selecting Men's Wetsuits or Women's Wetsuits for specific temperatures, your blade choice should match your physical strength and diving depth. Softer blades are often preferred for long surface swims and beginners as they reduce the risk of cramping, while stiffer blades provide the explosive power needed for deep ascents or fighting strong currents. Matching your fin stiffness to your body weight and diving frequency ensures a more comfortable and efficient experience.

Warmth, stretch and durability

In the world of fins, performance is defined by the "snap" and resilience of the materials. Our fibreglass blades are built to maintain their structural integrity and reactive flex over years of use in saltwater. The foot pockets are crafted from dual-density rubber, offering a soft "stretch" around the foot for comfort during long sessions, combined with a rigid base to ensure maximum energy transfer to the blade. This durability ensures your gear remains a reliable part of your kit, whether you are outfitting the whole family with kids wetsuits or heading out for a solo deep-water mission.

FAQs

How do I choose the right size foot pocket?

Foot pocket sizing usually accounts for the use of neoprene socks. If you plan to wear 3mm or 5mm socks for warmth, we recommend sizing up. A proper fit should be snug but not restrictive; if the pocket is too tight, it can restrict circulation and cause cold feet or cramping during your dive.

What is the benefit of fibreglass blades over plastic?

Fibreglass blades offer superior "memory" and energy return compared to standard plastic fins. This means they require less effort to produce the same amount of thrust, making them far more efficient for deep diving and long days in the water where conserving oxygen and energy is vital.

Can I swap different blades into SALT foot pockets?

Our foot pockets are designed to be compatible with most standard modular blades. We provide fixing kits that include the necessary plates and screws to secure the blades firmly. This modularity allows you to upgrade your blades as your skills progress without needing to buy entirely new foot pockets.

How should I care for my fins after a dive?

Always rinse your fins and foot pockets thoroughly with fresh water after every session to remove salt and sand. Store them flat in a cool, shaded area. Avoid leaving them in a hot car or under direct sunlight, as extreme heat can warp the blades and cause the rubber foot pockets to perish prematurely.
