Negative buoyancy Deep 6 Eddy fins

[Anthony A.]

I know many here are impatiently waiting for a negative version of the incredible Eddy fin. Since there are plans by Deep6 (but no eta), I thought maybe this thread could help "nudge" @cerich and @LandonL to make an order quicker.

So everyone who wants a negative version, post here!!

And to make it interesting, what specific gravity does everyone want (or how negative)?


For me, i'd like the fin to be negative in salt water.... maybe 0.5lb or so (whatever that translates into "gravity"). I do recall a couple years ago Deep6 had a prototype version in the 1.4-1.5 gravity. How much does that equate to in lbs in salt water?

I would love a pair. Drysuit season is miserable without my Eddys.

It seems like the Hollis F1s could fill the need for the time being. Much nicer foot pocket than the Scubapro Jets.

I want some, just not orange....

I recently used the f1 lites and not really that impressed. Definitely not as comfy as the eddys (for me).

I'd go for a pair as well. Currently use the Mares Power Plana, but their bungee strap is terrible and comes off in the surf.

I would definitely buy some Eddy fins to replace my Hollis F1 fins.

My XL F1 fins are 2# negative in fresh water.
My Regular F1 LT fins are 1# negative in fresh water.

I think my preference for a negative Eddy fin would be size XL to be roughly 1 - 1.5# negative, in fresh water.

@cerich You had previously mentioned a 1.4-1.5 gravity material. What negative weight amount would that translate into?

Would depend on flipper size, water salinity etc and no, I have not the calculations on hand

You can get blue now
