PERFORMANCE:
This new, full-foot version of SCUBAPRO's popular Seawing Nova is made of durable Monprene, and features a wing-shaped blade that connects to the foot pocket via a pair of stabilizing ribs that lets the blade pivot and generate thrust. a real speedster, the blade offers a near-perfect balance of stiffness and flex, producing a propulsive snap that will rocket a diver without a hint of leg pain or ankle strain. stable on the straight- aways and highly maneuverable, the fin delivers effortless acceleration. test divers found the foot pocket to be a bit stiff and the nonskid marginal, but otherwise, this fin hits its performance notes with near-perfect pitch.

BOTTOM LINE:
An across-the- board favorite among test divers, the Seawing Nova earned more favorite votes than any fin in this review, making it a bona fide Testers’ Choice in its own category.
