Cressi Origin HD Fins Black

The Cressi Origin Fins HD is a slightly negative high-density material, perfect for use with drysuits and mid- to heavy gear.

In 1950, long before technical diving was a concept, Cressi revolutionized the diving world with the introduction, along with other rubber models, of the RONDINE COMMANDO USA fins. These fins were originally designed for the U.S. Military Underwater Demolition Unit (UDT) and were widely used in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. Today, the ORIGIN fins perpetuate this historical legacy by taking advantage of all of Cressi’s experience in the manufacture and design of diving fins together with the new technologies and materials available today.

ORIGIN fins are perfectly suited to the demands of technical diving due to their characteristics, abrasion and fracture resistance, in addition to a muscular design and mono-material construction, but their use has also spread among recreational divers as they provide good stability when finning, adequate power and are versatile for different types of finning.

Faithful to the original designs and patents, they offer rubber versions with positive and neutral or negative buoyancy:

The ORIGIN HD is made from a high-density material (shore hardness 80) that is slightly negative (-165 g in salt water for size M/L) and is a genuine, extremely powerful 4x4, suitable for high-demand underwater work and for divers who value that extra weight on their feet.

They all have in common the exclusive Cressi "foot pocket under the blade" construction: Now with its angle increased by 5% (15º in total), the blade emerges directly from the top of the foot pocket, transmitting all the effort generated when finning without losing energy. This format is ideal for a relaxed fin stroke without straining the tibia or calf muscles and channels water from the ankle to the final edge of the blade, unlike traditional models in which the foot pocket has no contribution whatsoever to forward motion. In addition to improving the directionality of finning, this design provides 10% to 15% better performance than what the fin would require based on its blade surface area.

All of them ideal for enjoying excellent maneuverability.

Self-adjusting AISI 316 stainless steel spring straps are standard. Various spring sizes are available as replacements. The angled buckle keeps the spring straps in an optimal position on the heel counter. The simple pin design allows for easy strap replacement if necessary.
