I took the best of both .... normal fins, split personality.

oh boy...let the carnage begin.
This is a touchy subject on this board. Everyone has real strong opinions about what to use.
Here's my advice...try both. Use what YOU like. You can read all the hype about split fins...none of it matters.
I use Twin Jets...I have a bad knee and it helps lessen the resistance on my knee. Regular fins are painful for me. Without the bad knee, I'd probably go with regular $70 jet fins. They work just fine.

Not saying they are the best, just saying that I use the split twin jets.
Best is what you like and works for you. *nods at AaronBBrown*

I'm currently diving with Mares Pana Avanti Quattros, and find they work well for me. However on a recent dive trip I got to use a pair of Atomic split fins.
All I can say is wow. They were wonderful - I found I was zipping all over the place with less effort than normal. However the dive was in an aquarium with no current and perfect conditions, so I'm not sure how performance would be in real life diving with a current.
I'm looking to borrow a pair to find out.

Hey,
S/Pro JetFins with spring straps are very hard to beat. They are certainly the best I've tried for frog kicking. Until I got mine a few of months ago I was using excellarating force fins. The jets are a far superior tool (IMO). Split fins are meant to be useless for frogkicking - or so I've heard.

Not everyone uses a frog kick
