The wife and I bought all of our gear and are heading to Roatan in a couple of weeks. We live in Oregon and enjoy the NW diving (have dry suits), but also live for our warm water vacations.
I originally bought Atomic Split Fins and love how effortless they are. I have a few dives on the set and am happy with them. But my concern was in whether they would be good diving in current. So, when I bought some other gear the person I bought it from (5 dives and quit) had a pair of Atomic Blade Fins that I now own also. My thought process being they would be better for those days when I need more "power" in my kick.
So, for those of you who have both (not a brand question, but design, split vs blade) do you think my reasoning is valid?
I was out of the game (diving) for a while and just started again. My wife just got certified and in the last week we have bought wetsuits, drysuits, BC's, Reg set ups, masks, fins, snorkels, boots, gloves, a trip to Roatan, and the Nitrox course. Now my wife is talking about taking a couple of months and enrolling in a DM program in a tropical location. So much for a savings account, lol.
