Women free dive too…although, you wouldn’t know it based on the limited selection of Freediving Fins for women out there. Fortunately there are manufacturers of swim and SCUBA gear that have begun to recognize the need for freediving fins that are made for women’s feet.
Up until recently, women have had to make do with shorter SCUBA fins that don’t offer the same kind of power and propulsion that freediving fins provide. The only other option was to find the smallest pair of man-sized freediving fins that don’t fit quite right.
For thrill seeking women who want to fly underwater with the fishes at top speeds, zooming to the bottom and back to the top for air, good high quality freediving fins are a necessity. It is women like you that we had in mind when we went looking for the best freediving fins for women.
What we found are 10 of the best freediving fins for women that have all of the features that make for the best free dives. We looked for freediving fins that offer the most speed, comfort, and efficiency. We also found some jazzy looking styles and colors for women while accounting for skill level; freediving fins for beginners and those for advanced divers.
THE BEST FREEDIVING
FINS FOR WOMEN
For beginner to intermediate free divers, you’ll want to choose freediving fins that are made of plastic or fiberglass. Beginners should also look for a softer blade to medium blade. The harder the blade, the more effort and strength it will take to propel through the water. The first 6 fins on this list are the best choices for beginning to intermediate skills.
Cressi - Long Blade Fins
Many of the real boss freediving fins come in men’s sizes only. It’s hard to believe in the 21st century that women’s sizes are so hard to find but we found some really boss freediving fins for women made by the top manufacturer of freediving fins. I’m talking about Cressi’s Gara Professional LD Long Blade Fins for Freediving.
Cressi fins have been made in Italy for the last 75 years! They are top-of-the-line among freediving fins and these puppies are the best of the bunch for beginners and women with foot pocket sizes from 7.5 to 12.
Beginners can enjoy longer diving sessions using these fins because they take very little effort to propel compared to other long blade fins. Made from a special plastic, these long blade fins move through the water easily allowing for long distance swimming without the extra stress on your legs.
Comfort goes hand-in-hand with all of its other features. The foot pocket is soft and is situated on top of the blade. You can even wear these freediving fins barefoot.
Gara - Modular Impulse Fins
The thing we loved immediately about the Gara Modular Impulse Fins for Freediving from Cressi is the versatility. You may be a beginner now but not for long. These freediving fins are made to grow with you since they are interchangeable. As you get more experienced, you can replace these blades with more expert blades or SCUBA fins for a different type of dive.
Women with smaller feet will find sizes as small as 6 while women with bigger feet will be happy to know that the Modular Impulse Freediving Fins go all the way up to size 12. The foot pocket itself can be adjusted for maximum comfort. You can even have the shoe pocket fitted to your specific foot using the insoles that come with it.
The blade itself is made of polypropylene, making them lighter, enabling you to change directions quickly and easily. All of these features complement the amazing propulsion and efficient speed that typify Cressi Freediving fins.
Motus - Long Blade Fin
Do you have really small feet? It can be damn near impossible to find the right fin if your feet are smaller than a 6. That’s what makes the Motus Long Blade Fin for Freediving from Seac such a find. The foot pocket ranges in size from 4.5 to 13.5 to fit any woman’s foot.
Although these fins are designed to give you a powerful thrust in the water, they are made to be super flexible and efficient. Made of a high grade polymer, these long blades make high speed freediving easy on the legs requiring less effort to go faster and farther.
The foot pocket is made of a special type of hard rubber that fits your foot comfortably but is sturdy enough to keep your feet secure on the blade. These blades can also be interchanged with other types of fins so that as your skills progress, so do your blade options.
Lastly, we found these freediving fins particularly attractive for women. They come in army green camo but also hot red and ocean blue.
Cressi - Long Free Diving Fins
Foot pocket size is crucial when looking for freediving fins for women. And even though the smallest of the Long Free Diving Fins from Cressi is a size 8 and runs up to size 13, this foot pocket is one of the best designed for freediving.
These fins are part of a foot pocket system that allows you to interchange the blades for more advanced freediving and other types of dives. You’ll find that the foot pocket is a little bit wider to maximize comfort and fit when used with neoprene socks.
On top of that, the blades themselves are lightweight making traveling with them and swimming in them easy. You can fly around under the water with these fins for a lot longer than most and they are made to be adaptive to your movements.
As you glide and zoom up and down and turning around, the blade works with you to boost you forward. These power packed freediving fins work like advanced fins but are made for beginners.
Mares - Razor Pro
When you go freediving, if you have the wrong kind of fins, you can get worn out really quickly going up to the surface for air. If your fins are too tight or too loose, you’ll be finished before you even start! That’s why we love the design of the foot pocket for the Razor Pro Freediving Long Blade Fins from Mares.
Foot specialists helped to design the foot pocket on these blades to make them the most comfortable you’ll find. For women with tiny feet, the shoe pocket ranges in size from 5.5 to 13. Designers of these blades took extra care when creating the instep and arch of the foot pocket so that in addition to providing extraordinary comfort, the foot pocket itself increases propulsion.
Made of a mixture of high tech plastics, the blade itself changes in thickness along the blade making you more agile in the water. You still get the powerful propulsion that you expect from a great freediving fin and they are lightweight for easy transport.
Seac - Motus Carbon Fins
Last but certainly not least on this list are the Motus Carbon Freedive Fins from SEAC. They have all the bang and power that you want from an advanced freediving fin and come in women’s sizes as small as 4.5 up to 13.5. Made of 100% carbon, these professional grade freediving fins are an excellent choice for advanced divers.
The foot pocket design accounts for comfort more than most advanced fins you’ll find. The hard rubber soles complement the fully enclosed soft rubber heel so that your foot is snug as a bug in a rug when wearing these long blades. You don’t have to wear socks with these but you can.
As you would expect, these freediving fins pack a powerful thrust due to the 22° angle of the blade. These blades can also be interchanged depending on the type of diving you want to do. You have a choice between five different colors including blue, red, green, brown, and grey to match with your sexy wetsuit!
Hammerhead - KAUDAL Fins
The KAUDAL Complete Fins by Hammerhead are bestsellers among Americans. It makes sense when you consider that they were designed and created by Freediving professionals. Best of all, you can find these fins in XXS all the way up to XL; perfect for women looking for freediving fins that fit.
Instructors who helped to develop these fins know that the kick determines the performance. That’s why the blades are so long so that you don’t have to work as hard to go really fast through the water. Yet speed is only half of the equation.
Hammerhead also made sure that these blades were made to keep you comfortable for long hours of freediving. You can go deeper because getting back to the surface for air is effortless. You can move around twice as fast while only exerting half the energy to kick through the water using these specialized freediving fins.
Leaderfins - Blue Camo Fins
The rest of the freediving fins on this list are made for the more advanced diver. One of the biggest differences between freediving fins for beginners and those for the more advanced is in the makeup of the blade. Advanced swimmers are better able to handle fins made out of carbon as opposed to plastics or fiberglass.
Another feature of advanced fins is the stiffness of the blade. Advanced freediving fins range in stiffness from hard to soft. That said the Blue Camo Freediving Fins from Leaderfins is a great start for women with advanced skills.
The foot pocket sizes go as small as size 3 all the way up to 14. Plus, the blue camo is more stylish than the typical black fins that you find among professional freediving blades. The foot pocket is made of rubber while the blade is made of a blend of fiberglass and epoxy resin.
Keep in mind that carbon fins are more expensive than plastic or fiberglass ones. Despite being advanced, you can save a few bucks on these since they are not made of carbon.Leaderfins - Ca
