I had heard similar comments about "flimsy and soft" fins from various split fins. However, I have a pair of the Atomic split fin and they are great! I don't use them in cave, but they made a believer in "high performance" fins for sure. Very efficient, very fast with less effort. I love them! dsmith218@ho*.co* ICQ# 25409809 Moderation is for the poor, and the healthy...of which I am neither. - Polver -----Original Message----- From: Davy [mailto:davydive@te*.co*.sg*] Sent: Saturday, August 04, 2001 10:33 AM To: Techdiver Subject: Split fins Hi guys, On the subjects of drag force and high current diving, I thought I'll ask you guys your opinions about the latest split fins. The split fins seem to be the new revelation in scuba diving now with many manufacturers currently embracing the "nature wings" technology. When the first one appeared on the market, the Apollo Biofins, I tried it but found it too flimsy and soft compared to the trusty SP jets. With the split, I also feel these fins have the potential for entanglement. But there are many divers, tech divers included, that seemed to swear by it. Has anybody else tried using the rest of these "nature wings"? What are your comments? The dive mags are raving about these as well but it's better to hear from the real players here.
