Personally I don't find that to be all that great a deal. The fins are not manufactured by "Nature's Wing" that is the generic name for the patented split-fin technology that most split-fin manufacturers license.

The fins are actually IST Talaria split-fins. Sort of a lesser known brand name around here.

A quick google search lists them at $89.95 through Divebooty.com.
Spring straps are around $40 and a good pair of treaded boots can be bought for much less than $50. So not much of a sale IMO.

Other options using the technology are Tusa Xpert Zooms, Aeris, Atomic Aquatics and others. Just about every major mfr. sells a split-fin. Tusa just intro'd a new model so the SF-8 Xpert Zooms are on sale now. I've seen them as low as $59 depending on size. I've had mine for several years now and have no complaints.

My personal recommendation on fins/boots and other durable goods is buy for best price. For me that's usually from Leisurepro.com or Scubatoys.com. Mention you're a member here for 10% off at Scubatoys. Scubatoys currently has the Tusa's for $65 (white only) or the Aeris Velocity for $60. Both are Nature's Wing Split fins. And the Tilos Spring Straps for $35.
