| Apollo Bio Pro XT Adjustable Strap Fins Reviews 
Reviewer: Scott Michael on 12/27/2008
Best Fins Ive ever used. - ill preface this by saying that the split fin technology used in these fins is licensed by natures wing to apollo, scubapro, atomic, tusa, oceanic, dacor, sherwood, beuchat and genesis. any of these manufacturers that claims to have a "secret" design that the other dont, is referring only to details such as materials, fins strap design, batten and rib design. the basic principles and operation of these fins is identical for all of them. potentially each of these fins will work about the same for you. the key is to determine which manufacturers products fits your foot and swimming style the best.
my reasons for picking apollo fins was simple:
- they are 100% rubber and as such... View Full Review

| OMS Slipstream Fins Reviews 
Reviewer: Timothy D. on 10/22/2008
OMS Slipstream fins - Finally some real competition for Scubapro Jetfins - Having owned and used Jetfins, Rockets and Turtles I was eager to get my hands (feet?) on the OMS Slipstreams. As I compare fins to my favorite Scubapro Jetfins, here are the criteria I look for in a fin.
1)Footpocket fit: While only available in 2 sizes the slipstreams are well designed and I found the XL to be just slightly larger than an XL Jetfin and the XXL to be slightly smaller than an XXL Jetfin. This meant I could wear either one - so if you need larger size fins (11-15s) and have trouble getting Jetfins to fit properly, these may be just what youve been waiting for.
2)Responsiveness: Even more responsive than Jetfins, probably because they are slightly stiffer. This makes... View Full Review

| TUSA Imprex Tri-Ex Adjustable Strap Fins Reviews
Reviewer: Joel S. on 8/23/2007
Excellent Product - Happy customer :) - I am really happy with my purchase, thus far. Excellent quality traditional fin. They generate lots of power throughout the kick. I really like the angle on the blade, it is more comfortable than a standard fin. I found these to be a definite hybrid between a stiff plastic fin and a softer rubber fin. As such, they are a stiffer fin, but have plenty of flex where they need it. In a traditional non-split fin, I prefer a stiffer flex. These seem to be to be a happy medium between super stiff and soft. Fit wise, these are made to be worn with dive boots. Dont get any ideas about wearing them without dive boots. I wear a 3mm boot with a sole, and they fit perfectly, without any slippage - ideal... View Full Review

| Apollo Bio-Pro Adjustable Strap Fins. Reviews
Reviewer: Jeremiah H. on 1/25/2010
excellent fins if you try em, youre gonna buy em! - 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,...

| Apollo Bio Pro Adjustable Strap Fins Reviews
Reviewer: Ron Cooley on 7/25/2007
The ultimate fin for beginner & expert alike! - Apollo Bio Pro Adjustable Strap Fins are the ultimate fin for beginner divers because they are easier on your legs than any other fin, and they are the ultimate for the seasoned diver because they have the best performance of any fin ever produced. Their efficience will save you air (important for air-hogs like me) and it will move you faster through the water when moving is important — like when you need to overcome a strong current. They will fool you though, because they are easier on your legs it APPEARS they arent doing much — unless you look over at other divers who cant keep up! Ive had several other sets of fins & tried everything on the market. There is nothing else comparable.... View Full Review

| Hollis F1 Adjustable Spring Strap Fins Reviews
Reviewer: Gary D. on 2/21/2009
Hollis F1 Fins - As a long time and faithful Scubapro Jetfin owner , I purchased these fins based upon the advertising and the good reputation of Oceanic/Hollis to produce a quality product.Needless to say ,I was not disappointed.During my testing , myself and my dive buddy swapped fins during the dive.when frog kicking,we found that the person with the F1s had to reduce their effort to prevent from swimming away from the person using jetfins. Also there was no ankle fatigue experienced at all with the F1s. during flutter kick sprints, the F1s showed a slight advantage in speed. It seems that the deeper foot pocket (which fits better than the jets) transmits more power to the fin . The spring straps are... View Full Review

| Force Fins Original/Dive Fins Reviews
Reviewer: Patrick Reardon on 8/12/2007
Force Fins Original style fins - Purchased for my 18 year old son. He found them to be easy on the legs and was happy with their propulsion. They were comfortable and easy to get on and off. I also noticed that he was much easier on the reeef and stirred up much less sand/silt than he did with his old, long, blade-style fins. His size and color were in short supply and we had a dive trip coming up in less than a week. I called Force Fins and Bob Evans (The designer of Force Fins) himself made certain that Scuba.com had a pair in my sons size and color. If none were available, he offered to ship me his own, personal pair for my son to use on the trip. As it was, Scubacom expeited the delivery and we had no problems. ... View Full Review

| Force Fins Pro Fins Reviews
Reviewer: David Cates on 5/17/2007
Great for diving, not recommended for snorkeling - Just got back from my first dive with the Force Fins Pro and found that they were wonderful when fully submerged and diving. The Force Fins delivered a lot of power for the amount of effort I put into my kick. Snorkeling however, I found to be very difficult. After playing around for several days with various kicking styles, I was finally able to find a stroke that gave me a reasonable amount of response for my effort, so I would recommend you give them some time to get comfortable with them before decide their not for you. Overall, Id say theyre a great value for the money and the perfect fin for boat dives or strong currents.

| TUSA X-Pert Zoom Adjustable Strap Fins Reviews
Reviewer: Eric Klauss on 10/13/2006
Good product - I bought these just recently in preparation for a 10-day trip to Hawaii where I planned to do some snorkeling and diving. Ive been using 20 year old basic black paddle fins since I got certified in 1982. These took a little getting used to as they are a bit different but for me they seemed to work very well. The highlight of the trip was a night manta ray dive. I really noticed their effectiveness on that dive. We ended up having to head quite a bit farther away from the boat than I guess they normally do to find the mantas and while I was just cruising along, several other people developed leg cramps. Oh...not that it affects their preformance but as a sidebar, I went with the yellow... View Full Review

| Mares Avanti Quattro Fins Reviews
Reviewer: doug p. on 1/5/2010
fantastic fins - For my first pair of fins, I bought the Mares Raptors. I used them for about 20 dives and never really liked them. I wondered if the issues I was having (lack of control, inability to fight currents, and feeling like I had to kick in a very specific way in order to move) could be due to the split-fin design. I did some research and found that a number of people had the same issues I did with splits. After some further research I found that, amongst paddle/blade fins, the quattros were highly regarded so I decided to purchase them. These fins are great! They are light (or at least light compared to the raptors) extremely comfortable, provide good power, look cool, have a great buckling... View Full Review

| Oceanic Vortex V-8 Adjustable Strap Fins Reviews
Reviewer: Cory Graner on 7/10/2008
Worked well - This is essentially the same review as I gave for the Aeris Velocity Duos, as these are identical to those. This pair was purchased for my wife at the recomendation of the salesman, who informed me that the sizes fit women better on this particular model. And he was right. My wife and I both agreed our fins. They seemed to work well, but this being my first experience diving I really dont have much to compare them too. However, I can say that they were extremely comfortable, and easy to adjust as well. You dont even need to look at them to snug them up, just give one of the adjustable straps a tug and they are perfect. Both sides of the strap have buckles so they are easy to snap off,...

| Oceanic Vortex V-12 Fins Reviews
Reviewer: James R. on 6/24/2008
The easiest fin EVER - I used to wear the Power fins before this and I tell you, it is like day and night. These fins feel as though they arnt even on your feet! You forget about them so easily. They are a bit heavy out fo the water but really, what are you wanting to do with fins out of the water anyway? If its a travel issue, they are going to charge you for your bag anyway. The power that these fins produce is incredible. After you swim with them the first time youll wonder what you were doing before.
