The diver may use any diving gear, but must complete the dive without any other assistance, including the descent line or rope used for reference. This is usually achieved with the use of fins so the diver basically kicks down and up. This is considered as the most popular category since it is the one most widely practiced around the world and has long had the support of diving gear manufacturers to show off their products.

Interesting Facts:

- The popularity of Monofins during the past 5 years have allowed divers to reach depths that were deemed impossible with bi-fins not long ago. The use of carbon fiber compounds for the blades, both for bi-fins and monofins, has been a determining factor in increased performances in this category.
- Our own Yasemin Dalkilic has the fastest speed ever for a female record with two fins, which she achieved with her first world record back in 1999.
