The Alchemy V3-30 Pro gives you real freediving power in a carbon fin that still fits in a normal suitcase. Here is why we love them.
Freediving power, finally in a fin you can travel with. The carbon blades turn every kick into speed, so you keep up with a moving whale without burning through your breath. And they fit in a normal suitcase.
Mask, snorkel and fins come with every Maui trip. Bring these if you want more push on long whale swims, in a pair that fits you perfectly.
Why we recommend it
Most freediving fins are long. Great in the water, a headache at check-in. The V3-30 Pro has a shorter carbon blade, so it slides into a regular suitcase and still gives you the push you need.
The 30 degree blade angle means less effort per kick. Less effort means less oxygen, and more time next to the whale.
Pros and cons

Questions
No. Mask, snorkel and fins are provided on every expedition. Bring your own if you want more power, or a fit you already know.
The blade is 57 cm, short for a freediving fin. That is the whole point: they go in a regular suitcase instead of a separate fin bag.
No. Use a slow, relaxed kick from the hip and let the blade do the work. Most people feel the difference on the first swim.
Rinse them in fresh water after every swim, dry them out of the sun and store them flat. Never stand on the blades.
Alchemy makes the fins to order. Expect around two weeks before they ship, so order well before your expedition.
