Natures Prey- “A Humpback Whale carcass found on the ocean floor in Coral Bay, Western Australia, stripped clean of its flesh by surrounding sharks. This sub-adult whale died while making their annual migration north along the Ningaloo Reef. A harsh act of Mother Nature, However an important part of the natural ecosystem.”

For some, sunsets are a time for reflection and meditation. For me, pairing a fiery sunset with the pristine coral gardens of the Ningaloo Reef under the glassy ocean surface brings a whole new level of tranquility. Combining two worlds to create a perfect moment.
Sunset over the vibrant coral gardens of Coral Bay, Western Australia. Rated ‘sunset of the year’ this fiery red sunset paired with glassy conditions at low tide created the magic of my image Beneath the Surface.

DiveR x Ash Karas Photography Freediving Fins
DiveR and award winning, Australian Geographic Nature Photographer of the year, Ash Karas Photography have teamed up to make custom Freediving fins showcasing the beauty of the Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia.
Due to the meticulous handmade process and the intricate craftsmanship required to create DiveR fins, Customers should expect some delays in production and delivery times. All fins are custom and hand made in Queensland, Australia, shipped to Exmouth WA for quality control then shipped onwards to the customer.
Production time is usually 2-3 weeks not including shipping times unless design is on-hand in Exmouth.
Please contact Ash for all fin enquires.
DiveR strenuously tested fin designs over 18 months with the help of freediving professionals to produce what is now one of, if not the best diving blade on the market today. Manufactured from state of the art resin systems and aerospace fabrics the DiveR fin blade gives you the mechanical advantage and high performance you have been looking for.
The blades have each been constructed in detail by hand to ensure precision. The result is a blade that is extremely popular among commercial divers for both its performance and dependability under heavy working conditions.
Over the past 6 years of this product’s production, there have been no reports of a drop in performance or breakages. Unlike other fins, DiveR blades don’t lose their initial power after just a few weeks of use. Contrastingly, normal thermo plastic blades start to break down after approximately 10,000 revolutions and then decline to breaking point.
The blades were tested to over 1,000,000 revolutions and recorded no degradation in function or the mechanics of the blade. Consequently, the final product is a fin that is unparalleled in terms of durability and are capable of surviving some of the harshest conditions you can throw at them.
If you are an experienced diver looking for a quality product that delivers the result you would expect for its price, then go no further than the DiveR blades.
Carbon Fiber
Carbon finer is significantly lighter than many other materials, reducing the weight of the fins. This lightness enhances manoeuvrability, reduces fatigue during dives, and allows for more efficient movements underwater.
Despite its lightweight nature, carbon fibre exhibits excellent strength and stiffness. This provides enhanced propulsion and responsiveness in the water, allowing for powerful and precise kicks.
Carbon Fiber is highly durable and resistant to corrosion, impacts and wear. This ensures that the diving fins can withstand the challenges of underwater environments, providing a longer lifespan and reliable performance.
Carbon fibres combination of lightweight construction, high strength, stiffness and durability makes it an excellent material choice for diving fins. It offers enhanced manoeuvrability, improved propulsion, reduced fatigue and longer lifespan, all of which contribute to an exceptional diving experience.
Composite Fiber
Composite finer materials are known for their high strength-to-weight ratio. They provide excellent structural integrity while keeping the fin lightweight, reducing fatigue during long dives and improving manoeuvrability underwater.
Composite fibres provide stiffness to the fin blade, allowing for efficient energy transfer from the divers leg movements to the water. This results in a more responsive and powerful propulsion, enhancing overall performance in the water.
Composite finer materials are known for their exceptional durability and resistance to impact, corrosion and degradation. They can withstand the harsh underwater conditions and the repetitive stresses experienced during diving activities, ensuring long lasting performance and reliability.
The use of composite fiber in diving fins combines the advantages of lightweight construction, stiffness and durability, resulting in fins that provide efficient propulsion, reduced leg fatigue, enhanced manoeuvrability. These properties contribute to a more enjoyable and productive diving experience.
**Please note that all fin blades are sold without fin pockets.
Best foot pockets?
Ocean hunter- These foot pockets are suitable for individuals with slightly wider feet. They provide a comfortable fit and allow for proper power transfer from your legs to the fins. Ocean Hunter is known for producing high quality diving equipment and their foot pockets should offer a good balance of comfort and performance.
Hammerhead foot pockets- If you have a slim or narrow foot, the Hammerhead foot pockets would be suitable choice. These pockets are designed to provide a snug fit for narrower feet, ensuring a secure and comfortable diving experience. Hammerhead is a reputable brand in the diving industry and their foot pockets are known for quality and performance.
Omer stingray- Omer stingray foot pockets are made from two stiffness of natural rubber with the aim of providing both comfort and responsiveness. The foot pockets have been constructed using new rubber compression moulding techniques, with the guidance of Beta Tools who are experienced in producing safety shoes. The result is a comfortable, responsive foot pockets perfect for diving.
Mares Razor- a lightweight structure that is designed to suit most foot shapes. This pocket has a comfortable yet rigid structure which allows great flexibility while giving you power transfer from the reinforced panels. This product is made from sturdy and high quality material which makes it highly durable.
