| 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

| Force Fins Adjustable Original Reviews
Reviewer: Stephen Slaughter on 8/16/2007
COMMMFFFYYYYY - i noticed someone elses review mentioned that these fins were the solution for those of us with larger feet. i have a size 16 foot, and could probably still get away with wearing the adjustable force fins with a diving boot. that being said, when i first tried them on at home and walked around a bit i found the heel pads to be abraisive, stiff, and painful. the material is one i recognize, its the same parachute quality nylon you find in the laces of combat boots. in the water this material becomes significantly less uncomfortable instead of feeling discomfort, you will entertain the idea that they are too loose and might fall off while you kick with them. also interesting because i...

| 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

| 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

| 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

| 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

| 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

| Apollo Bio-Pro Adjustable Strap Fins. Reviews
Reviewer: Klery Fox on 10/27/2009
Best Fins - On Land and in the Water Too - 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...

| Force Fins Rip Force Reviews
Reviewer: paul C. on 6/4/2007
Force Fin RIp Force Fins - I have been an avid user of Rip Force fins from Force Fin, using them primarily for body boarding for the past 3 years. My 15 year old son has complained about cramping in his feet while using his Churchills but was not eager to make the switch to the Rip Forces cause he preferred the ease of pulling on conventional fins in the water. (The Force Fins buckling system requires you to put them on before you enter the ocean). After a painful session, he decided to use my Rip Force fins and was amazed by the comfort. No cramps after an hour long session. (THe Force Fin design has you using your large quad and hamstring muscles, rather than the much smaller muscles of your lower leg.) Dont... View Full Review
