Subgear Carbon Mono Fin & Carry Bag
Subgear has been working with Trygons, one of the most successful names in the freediving scene, to develop their new Carbon Mono Fin, which they say has been tested by some of the world’s best freedivers.
Carbon Fibre Technology – Just like Formula 1
Carbon blades provide the best performance in freediving fins. Subgear have used the highest available quality, similar to that used in Formula 1 cars and aircraft. The Mono Fin is a combination of carbon and fiberglass.
Increased Power plus Comfort
The transfer of power from the body to the blade is through a single inelastic band. This band directs the energy to where it is needed and nowhere else. The feet are comfortable in the incredibly soft rubber foot pockets and the hydrodynamic shape reduces any resistance. Cramps will also be alleviated during long training sessions.
Unique Development Technic
Each component – the foot pocket, the blade and the side rail – are individually designed, so that each integral part offers maximum performance. The result is a push that even the beginner will not fail to notice.
Traditionally, the rigidity of the foot-pocket rail was used to power the blade. These fins were called 100% carbon, where in fact, most of the power and stability originated from the rubber side rail and not the carbon blade. With the Subgear Mono Fin the foot-pocket plays no part in the bending of the blade and the rail piece is only for streamlining the flow – the power is pure carbon. As a direct result, the blade can be thicker and stiffer than before. Subgear say they can now claim that these are the first ever real carbon fibre reinforced fins.
Cleverly Created Mono Fin Bag
As it can be difficult to carry a Mono Fin, Subgear offer a mono fin bag for safe and simple transportation of the Mono Fin. The 100% waterproof and extremely robust tarpaulin protects the fin while the handy carry handle and back strap straps make carrying easy.
The Mono Fin is available from your authorised Subgear dealer. RRP £269.00. The Mono Fin Bag will be available at the end of November/beginning of December. RRP £46.00.

Oyster Diving have recently been given exclusive access to offer scuba diving courses and fun dives at Mercers Lake, a beautiful lake near M25/Gatwick in the UK.
Oyster have just launched their own dive boat ‘The Blue Pear’ to explore various parts of the lake. Divers can glide around the underwater woodland, see lots of fish and decent visibility. Out of the water divers set up in the purpose built kitting up area, unwind in a warm shower, and off-gas in the café & licensed bar.
To celebrate the start of the summer season, AquaSports and Oyster Diving have teamed up to host a Star Wars-themed open day on the 4th May.
Guests will be able to enjoy discounted tasters of various watersports including Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP), Canoeing and Sailing. Oyster Diving will be joined by Apeks and possibly other dive manufacturers to display their latest products. Demo gear will be available for qualified divers and Oyster’s sales support team will be on hand for customers with any questions.
Divers wishing to get in the water will need to book in via Oyster Diving’s website where you can also choose to hire any equipment. Non-divers and well behaved dogs are very welcome!
As well as the watersports there will also be music, food and a licensed bar. The fun starts at 10am and finishes around 4.30pm.
Please come along, wear your finest Stormtrooper or Princess Leia outfit and enjoy the fun!
