Award-Winning Seawing Nova Fins now in all your favourite colours
The high performance Seawing Nova fin from Scubapro is now available in 7 colours, with Purple being added as the new addition to the family.
What makes the Seawing Nova so special?
Instead of the regular curve of a normal fin, the Seawing Nova has an articulated joint. This G4 joint with enlarged pivot control notches is a unique mechanism for moving the blade. The design allows the blade to pivot, softly then harder – just like the tail fin of a dolphin or whale. The diver has the perfect angle of attack and the entire blade generates an exceptionally high thrust while using less resistance.
The harder the kick, the more the end of the blade bends upwards. The water is directly channelled resulting in increased acceleration. The extra wide trailing edge adds extra propulsion.
Reworking the blade of the Seawing Nova has slightly increased the level of lateral rigidity. Scubapro have achieved this by using a crescent shaped baton in the central section and variable thickness in the wings. The higher level of rigidity across the trailing edge provides an improvement in responsiveness and thrust at full power.
The dead space that is usually between the foot pocket and the blade creates resistance and prevents acceleration- hence why this part has been removed. The water runs directly under the blade leaving the diver with more boost through less effort.
The new grip pads are made from a highly tear resistant and durable co-molded Thermo Plastic Vulcanizate (TPV). With a rough surface finish the pads provide a steady grip on the boat and assist when climbing boat ladders.
The ergonomic foot base with an extended sole base makes for an efficient power transfer and ensures more staying power on the heel.
The Seawing is made of a material that combines the best technical qualities–Monprene®, also used in the aerospace industry. Endurance tests proved after 1.000.000 Kicks there was no material fatigue – the fins are virtually un-destroyable.
The extremely flexible but tough Bungee Straps guarantee a faster and easier on and off.
Seawing Nova fins are available at authorised Scubapro dealers in black, white, yellow, blue, pink and now purple. RRP £135. The Seawing Nova Gorilla in Graphite are priced at £165.

Cozy and warm in cold water.
It’s drysuit season all year round. With the new RS series premium drysuits from DYNAMICNORD, divers are perfectly equipped for all cold waters.
The sophisticated cut of the RS drysuits allows complete freedom of movement, providing maximum comfort. The high-quality 350 g/m² ripstop material with double ripstop zones on the elbows, knees, and crotch protect ensures extreme robustness as well as long life.
