Apollo Split Fins

In strong currents how are the Apollo Split Fins?

Thanks,

From my own experience, they are not so great in strong currents—definitely prefer my Jetfins.

Thanks for the reply Vie. I guess I should try:

The bio-fins, all models, work very well in current.
You can develop more speed with less effort.

If you want more low end torque or "feel" the
bio-fin XT model provides both.

Try BOTH—see what you think. I use both the Apollo Bio-fins and the Jetfins and I must say that I pretty much use the Jetfins exclusively now. The Bio-fins are much lighter and faster but most of the time I don’t need to be fast. My Jetfins are suited to ALL conditions, are smaller and easier to pack, not to mention virtually indestructible. The spring heel straps are a good idea—I’ve never used the Scubapro spring heels but they seem very similar to my Halcyon/EE.

I've tried the Apollo Bio Fins but I still prefer my Scubapro Twins Jets, works well for me both underwater & on the surface. Should try them out before buying to see which one works for u...

I've used my Tusa Zoom's in all water conditions and they performed excellent...heck I even use them with my doubles now without any discomfort or problems in propulsion.

A lot of people don't know them thus have nothing good to say about them, there is even a group of divers who despise them because their cult leader said they are bad and consider it dangerous and life threatening.

Good fin but they just dont deliver that PUNCH I need when I'm just in grabbing distance. You have to keep up a rapid flutter kick (at least I do) in order to make them deliver. I find that I CO2 a lot quicker with splits in current. Jets are my choice, but YOU have to swim your kit so get what suits YOU.
