Okay, I've read all the pros and cons associated with split fins on this board but most of the discussion seems to revolve around the topics of speed and maneuverability. Granted these are both very important issues, but I'd like to throw out another question for you split fin advocates.
I have bad hips and as a result I have to work harder to keep up with others. Harder work results in more air consumption. More air consumption results in less bottom time. Less bottom time sucks! And, as an added bonus, I usually end up fatigued and in considerable discomfort at the end of a day of diving. I'm under the impression that a good pair (Apollo or Aquatics) of split fins will help, not eliminate, these problems. Opinions please.
