Rating: Bio Pro Adjustable Strap Dive Fins Yellow Mens 11-13/Womens 12-14 w/ Steel Spring Strap (LG)
Reviewer: Geraldine C., Friday, August 26, 2011
First time using the spring straps, and once they were stretched over my rock boots a few times, they were easy to put on. This is my second pair of biofins and I would not dive with out them. My knees no longer ache afterward, my calves no longer cramp up, and more often than not, I am way ahead of my dive buddies during a kick out!

Rating: Great Fins
Reviewer: Brett H., Saturday, April 10, 2010
The Apollo Bio-fins have worked out great for me. They are the right balance between rigid design and flexability. You get great thrust with minimal work. I occassionally have to take a break so I dont get out ahead of my dive buddy. Ive gotten leg cramps with some other fins that Ive tried but these have been great. When I got my drysuit and needed a bigger pair of fins for the boots, I bought another pair of Bio-fins.

All the other reviews about these fins are true, they work great. Although, I had to return a pair because I got a size too small. Go a size lager than your actual shoe size to account for the boots youll wear with them. I also found no need for the spring strap. Standard straps worked just fine.

Rating: excellent fins if you try em, youre gonna buy em!
Reviewer: Jeremiah H., Monday, January 25, 2010
ive been a die-hard u.s. divers rocket fin diver since 1975. i didnt the claims of this "technological innovation" by apollo. but, i had the opportunity to try them out a couple of years ago, and i was very impressed with them. probably the hardest thing to get over, when you first use these fins, is how effortless they seem. theres so much less effort involved in the kick stroke, that you feel like you must not be doing any good, with respect to motion. but, when you see how fast youre going, youre shocked. i went out and bought a pair immediately (this purchase was a gift for a friend ive had mine for several years). i was getting ready for a dive on a dive boat, not long ago, when the divemaster leaned over and asked me to "hold back a bit" on the dive. he said, "youre the only one in the group with those fins, and if you dont throttle back a bit on your kick, the rest of the group wont be able to keep up with you". theres your endorsment, right there!
one other comment several of the dive boats ive been on require that you take your fins off at the bottom of the ladder (or platform) and slide them over your arms so that you have your hands free, and can hold your fins at the same time. you cannot do this with "spring straps", so for my needs, the adjustable straps are preferable.

Rating: Best Fins - On Land and in the Water Too
Reviewer: Klery Fox, Tuesday, October 27, 2009
ive tried all the major, "top" fins these are the best on the boat and in the water. theyre shorter and more malleable than other fins - many a fin are harder and not very flexible. additionally, they are made using softer rubber which grips a wet boat deck or dock better. these are all good attributes to have in a fin, and ive seen no others that compare in this way. in the water they are also my favorite fin. you will experience the least amount of drag ever in a head-on current and they are fast and smooth in the water. they may not get up and run right away like some others do, but that also makes them very controlable in tight spaces when you just need a slighter movement. they get up and run very closely to the other, "top" fins by the way. i highly recommend upgrading to the spring steel slap. its comfortable and is assembled into the fin with good manufacturing quality ive not seen elswhere.

Rating: Simply the best fin
Reviewer: Amik Ahmad, Saturday, April 04, 2009 
Doesnt get any better than these. I love the steel straps, as I was getting off and on the boat in Cozumel... it was so easy. Everyone else had rubber straps or boot fins... and well... I was seeing fish before they were.

Rating: Excellent!!!
Reviewer: Greg Burton, Sunday, March 22, 2009
After reviewing many, i purchased these for my trip to Fiji in a year. Took them to Hawaii for testing and enjoyed swimming circles around the other divers, using less air and not having tired legs after diving. Despite others comments, i did not have any difficulty with maneuverability while taking pix or looking in small openings.

Rating: Amazing Fins
Reviewer: Gian S., Monday, February 23, 2009
I bought these fins as a gift for my fathers 60th birthday. Hes an avid snorkeler and absolutely loves them. He and I were snorkeling together in the Caribbean and I had trouble keeping up with him with normal fins and Im only 26 years old! After seeing how quick he was I tried them and was amazed at the efficiency and speed you move at, and how little effort it took to cruise through the water. The next pair of fins I buy for myself will be Apollo Bio-Pros. Just an amazing product.

Rating: Greatest Fins In The World!!!!!
Reviewer: Karen Adair, Saturday, October 18, 2008 - View all my reviews
My first fins, sadly enough, were NOT Apollo Bio Fins. However, since Ive worn them, I will wear nothing else. These fins are wonderful and my entire family of 5 wears them diving! Have compared to many others on the market, and even bought many others, but the black adjustable strap Apollo bio pro fins are still my favorite!!! You can never go wrong with these fins and Ive been diving for YEARS.
