| Apollo Bio Pro XT Adjustable Strap Dive 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

| TUSA Imprex Tri-Ex Adjustable Strap Dive 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 Dive 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,...

| Mares Avanti Quattro Dive 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-12 Dive Fins Reviews
Reviewer: James Wilson on 6/30/2007
Vortex Fins - Dove in Bonaire with the new fins and they are fantastic.
good power and comfortable to wear/also bought the spring straps. Easy on and off they were a little heavier than the fins I had but I got use to them quickly and they swim very nice.I give them 5 stars.

| Hollis F1 ´´Bat Fin´´ Adjustable Spring Strap Dive Fins Reviews
Reviewer: Steven B. on 8/10/2009
Hollis F1 Fins - These are very nice fins! I needed something better suited to drysuit boots and went with these as they have std. spring straps compared to others supplied as an adder. Compared to some reasonable non-splits these are a whole step up, like swimming in a different world. Oversized finger loop works well with heavy gloves and angled feature is nice to keep it out of the way. Highly recommended, they do not disappoint! I make it a point to let everybody struggling to get a their std. fin into a drysuit boot that these are great.
Ease of swimming? Went for a nice surface swim to the Madeira - once with std., once with the F1. Std. fin, exhausted, F1, fantastic. Did a long surface... View Full Review

| Mares Volo Power Adjustable Strap Dive Fins Reviews
Reviewer: EDNA DECASTRO on 4/10/2009
best fins yet! - many benefits:
1.lightweight so it wont weigh down your already heavy dive bag and in airline baggage wt restritions every ounce helps
2.swim faster in the water with less effort and hence less
cramps/weakness of legs
3.if you have long strides when you swim this is the fins for you compared to split fins where you need shorter strides.(note:split fins heavier!)
only disadvantage is some older dive bags may not accomdate the width of these fins

| Oceanic Viper Adjustable Strap Dive Fins Reviews 
Reviewer: john DENT on 2/27/2009
Good, basic fins. - In the process of moving from NC to UT, I met some friends in the Bahams for a 7 day liveaboard. While packing, I realized my fins were in NC. I ordered these fins as replacements and much to my surprise (considering I live in the middle of the desert) they arrived in the necessary 2 days. The fins themselves are "adequate". There is nothing special about them. They performed well and nothing broke. As adjustable strap fins, they are fairly easy to get on and off, a desirable feature on a dive boat in rough water. I will continue to keep them as backups.

| TUSA Z3 X-Pert Zoom Adjustable Strap Dive Fins Reviews
Reviewer: Van J. on 9/16/2011
Great Fins - As Advertised and More - Ive been diving for 10+ years, and Ive always consumed a lot of air, nearly always ending a dive with less than 500 - 300 lbs and on occasion having to borrow air from my wife. Ive also frequently experienced leg cramps on the second of two-tank dives. Ive considered purchasing split fins for some time, as they are advertised to reduce air consumption by as much as 20% and to reduce leg cramps. I purchased my Z3 X-Pert Zoom fins last month before my wife and I went diving in St. Lucia, and I absolutely love the fins. My air consumption has been reduced by close to 40% - 50%, as I never ended a dive with less than 1200 lbs. Also, over 4 straight days of two-tank dives, I never... View Full Review

| H2O Thruster Adjustable Strap Dive Fins Reviews 
Reviewer: Donald Atkinson on 7/27/2011
Great first set of fins. - Ive never owned fins before. I am 28, male, 62 180 lbs. I bought a set of these fins to have my snorkeling gear for scuba diving. I now have so much fun snorkeling I havent even bothered to get certified in scuba. The difference fins make are enormous. With little effort I propel myself forward so fast my snorkel starts shaking back and for against my hood and I feel like wind is rushing over my head. If you want to see more underwater, get fins. I cant compare these to other fins but Ill say that Ive had no issues using them so far. They go on easy and are comfortable. They are very fast but also allow for slight movements. They are slightly negatively buoyant so if you move very slowly... View Full Review

| Omega Amphibian Adjustable Strap Flip Dive Fins Reviews
Reviewer: James Moore on 6/13/2010
seems to work! - I had to try these after a fin induced groin pull. They do allow normal walking when flipped up and the sole plate is remarkably non-slip compared to some other fins (I think some additional siping cuts in the tread with a Dremel tool might be better. The fin clicks into the locked position on about the first kick and behaves like a paddle fin after that. It is fairly easy to release the latch with the other foot against the bottom (of the pool). I think some practice might allow this move on the boarding ladder too which would complete the theoretical usage plan.
These fins have the additional feature of a huge foot pocket, XL big enough for my drysuit boots (as well as Stealth wetsuit... View Full Review

| Oceanic Vortex V-8 Adjustable Strap Dive 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,...
