Larry that's agreat offer. I went to your sight and it wouldn't let me use my card. There are a few credit card services that have old info. For instance to use my card at a Chevron station I have to put in a zip code from 3 billing addresses back. I've run into this online a few times. Where I live in the mountains I order just about everything on line. I did purchase the Volos mainly because they were at the shop and I needed something fast. I may try a set of Bios and purchase them too.

Thanks for the feed back.

ps my friend agrees with most of you about the Bios. She thinks I made the wrong choice.

Brunberg, you will like the BioFin. Watch the sizing. A "medium" will fit a size 10 with boot.

Hmmm, I have a pair of mediums, and a pair of larges. The Medium fits my size 8 bootie perfectly... untill I stuff my size 10 drysuit footies into the size 8 boots. Yes it fits, barely (the boot over the drysuit sock) but at that point the size 8 boot will NOT fit in the medium fin.

The larges fit a size 9 hardsole boot fine, but would likely NOT fit a size 8 hardsole. My size 8's are what I would call semi-hard.
 
It depends what kind of diving you will be doing. If you are doing a lot of finning, then get the Apollo Bios.
If you are drift diving in Coz, get the Volos.
I've seen Bios bend right over people's toes in a current, while the Volos were providing stability.
On the other hand, you would be hard pressed to cramp and even tire much, if you are constantly kicking with your Bios.
