It's worth that money i paid. I think the footpockets are not as high quality as the blades.
I love the fact that the neck weight is easy to put on and remove. However, I have a small neck circumference, I just wish we had heavier weight options. Upgrading to a heavier but longer neck weight would not do me any good since it would be loose when put on.
I sprained my ankle really bad early this year. And ever since, my recovered ankle still gives me the stiffness while finning. However with my pair of soft Alchemy fins, I can dive as much as I want. It is light, powerful yet gives the sophistication. My next choice of fin will definitely be an Alchemy fins :)
These carbon fiber fins are the best ones I've ever owned, and I know a lot of freedivers who can say the same with gusto. They are incredibly light weight and I barely feel them - it's as close to my being finless during Free Immersion. You exert less energy, reach depth goals, and increase bottom time with these. 10/10 would recommend to everyone - from beginner to pro.
Best fins ever I used but if you can work on footpocket to make it more fit like mono fin and Molchanovs bifins footpocket, that would make your fins best on fitting and best in the world!
I really love that good quality. This is my second fins of my life. After i tested this product i feel i found the best one for me.
The best fins I have tried, very comfortable and very light.
A few years ago, I needed a pair of new blades when I lost my beloved pair of Fiberglass DiverR's to 6000ft of water. I quickly was interested in Alchemy because of their high quality engineering processes in development of these blades. I always try to give my business to a company that does things the right way and stands behind their product. I love the lightweight of these blades and also durability of them when spearfishing. Customer service is also excellent and responded with a youtube video for an issue I had. I was able to fix immediately. This is a great company that produces an exceptional product with engineering processes. I will buy my next pair from them if mine ever break, but I don't think they will.
Overall, it was good, but the finish was sometimes slightly different. There was no problem to use, and it was light and very good.
Although I have a few pairs of carbon fins, the v3s are without doubt my main pair. I use them for teaching, training, fun dives etc, so they are extremely versatile. The blade is extremely light and responsive and they make the return journey on any dive a real pleasure!
