Origin LD
In 1950, long before technical diving was a concept, Cressi revolutionized the scuba diving world by introducing the vented Rondine Commando fins. These fins were originally designed for the U.S. Military Underwater Demolition Team (UDT) and were widely used throughout the 1960s. Today, the Origin fins continue this historic legacy with a modern technical update.
The heavy-duty requirements of technical diving align perfectly with these durable, abrasion-resistant fins made from a single material. Staying true to the original designs and patents, they offer either positive or negative rubber versions. The Origin HD is a high-density, slightly negative material, perfect for use with dry suits and medium to heavy gear.
