In the dive briefings at resorts in the Maldives or Indonesia, where local guides exchange their rental fins during the lunch break, certain models consistently come up in conversations among experienced divers. The Scubapro Seawing Nova has been a benchmark in the adjustable recreational high-end category for years. Its Nova 2 version improves on its core features. We'll analyze it.
This detailed evaluation report is based on our documentary analysis conducted on August 6, 2026. Our ranking maintains its neutrality, and no affiliated links are active on our website.
To analyze the performance of this high-end, adjustable model in a standardized way, we evaluate it based on five criteria with equal weighting. No field tests were conducted by us for this pair. This overall score of 4.40 out of 5 reflects its theoretical design quality and does not guarantee individual comfort.
Type and Usage (Score: 4.5 / 5)
The Scubapro Seawing Nova 2 is a premium adjustable fin designed for recreational diving, travel, and active snorkeling. Its positive buoyancy and dual-material Monprene blade make it suitable for intermediate to advanced divers.
The lightweight design, at approximately 800g per fin, is excellent for a premium adjustable fin. The marine-grade bungee strap makes it easy to put on quickly on the surface, even in choppy conditions.
Sail and Propulsion (P2: 4.25 / 5)
The Monprene bi-material wing with G4 articulation provides an excellent flutter kick and good performance for the dolphin kick, helicopter turn, and modified dolphin kick. This versatility is a defining characteristic of the Seawing Nova family.
Imagine a guitarist using a hollow-body guitar where the soundboard vibrates freely depending on the angle of the pick. The G4 articulation applies this principle to the dive plane, allowing the wing to orient itself naturally according to the direction of the leg movement to maximize lift with each cycle.
The pressure on the ankle is good, but not perfect. The thermal comfort in cold water is limited to a 2 out of 5, which confirms that this model is designed for warm and temperate waters.
The Scubapro Seawing Nova 2 stands out as one of the most versatile and well-built adjustable fins in our comparison for recreational diving in warm water. Its combination of comfort, performance, and premium materials justifies its high overall rating.
