The Amphibian. Brothers Abraham and Ronen Moyal have been in research & development for over 5 years to develop what they are calling a revolutionary new fin mechanism. We walked into Abraham on the show floor at DEMA wearing a pair of this original design -- fins with blades that pivot up on hinges on both sides of the foot. When flipped up the Amphibian is actually reminiscent of a person wearing snow-boarding boots. The Amphibian is a two-piece fin brought together by the Aquau-Hinge mechanism, which comprises a molded locking structure, blade hinge assembly and military grade anti-corrosive springs. The Moyal brothers are hoping to have recreational divers and the US Coast Guard outfitted in their inventions. Currently available in colors of blue, yellow, green and grey, OmegaAquatics plans to add more features like interchangeable blades in the coming year. Developed in Illinois these fins are proudly made in the USA.
