San Leandro, CA May 8, 2007 (DNW) – The new VORTEX V-16 from Oceanic is already earning rave reviews. After several months of testing and evaluation by key Oceanic dealers and diving consumers, the VORTEX V-16 is now available. The V-16 combines the patented design concepts divers have come to expect from Oceanic with a new mix of four materials that enhance both performance and style. Compared to conventional fins, the VORTEX V-16 is up to 30% faster and more efficient, with less effort, stress and strain resulting in greater thrust, comfort and control. The V-16 model is a perfect compliment to the existing VORTEX Fin Family featuring patented Nature’s Wing Propeller Fin Technology, including the popular V-6, V-8 and V-12.

The VORTEX V-16 is designed using four (4) material compounds to provide ultimate performance and weight characteristics. “Control the shape of the blade during the kick cycle and you control water movement – thus maximizing the efficiency and propulsion of the fin,” says Doug Krause, Marketing Manager for Oceanic Worldwide. “Multiple thermo-plastic and natural rubber compounds with varying durometers are utilized to provide a perfect combination of flex and rigidity to precisely control the shape of the blade as it travels through the water.”



The new VORTEX V-16 Fin has an MSRP of US$189.95 and is available in four (4) vibrant color combinations from Oceanic’s network of Authorized Dealers throughout the world. More information may be found at: www.OceanicWorldwide.com/p_fins_v16.html
