Published

on

This Summer, dive and snorkelling gear manufacturer Oceanic is inviting its customers to “Set Their Dive Free.” Dubbed the Predator line, the company is releasing a free dive-specific fin, mask, snorkel and mesh carry bag to support this growing segment within the watersport market.

“The Predator line is designed for entry-level free divers and open-water hunters,” Oceanic Brand Manager, Nick Hollis, says of the new offerings, “but with the ease of use and quality you’ve come to expect from the brand.”

Stylishly designed and expertly crafted, the set – including mask, fins, snorkel and mesh bag – comes in a contemporary blue camo print.

The Predator Fin will feature a full-foot design and a rigid long blade for excellent propulsion. The Predator Mask will boast an ultra low-volume design with soft-squeeze buckles for easy adjustment and a comfy universal skirt. Plus, a simple and reliable J-tube snorkel with no valves or removable parts keeps things elegantly simple – just what freedivers are looking for.

The complete offering is now shipping and available at local retailers.
