    Open heel fin similar to the Oceanic Vortex V6?

    Hi everyone,
    Hopefully someone has experience with the oceanic vortex v6 split fins. They have been amazing for me, great stroke power, high maneuverability, and not too "soft".

    Which of the open heel fins would be equivalent as far as maneuverability and stiffness?

    Thank you for your help.

    These fins are good. If you are looking for something similar you can look into the Scubapro Twinjet or my personal(non-split) fin the Mares Volo Power. The link is to a site where they are on sale. Scubapro is pricey usually 179-189 a pair and the volos are on sale for 117 with free shipping. I own both and like Twins everything but high current where they sometimes can't quite hack it as well as my volos but they are awesome to frog kick with.
