Vintage Scuba: Fins - How They Have Changed - S01E11

Alec starts in the 1950's with the first commercial fin, Owen Churchill's "Swim-Fin". Many years of new ideas, failures and improvements passed so we can enjoy fins that are efficient, comfortable, affordable, colourful and last forever.

This ends "Vintage Scuba" series #1. Back with more weird and wonderful stories in a few months. Hope you enjoyed learning about the start of scuba diving.
