Re: Spring or Rubber Straps?
Shooter, what fins do you use now? I love my Apollo split fins with spring straps, however I use them for easy, shallow dives with where you need some maneuverability and snorkeling. I also have the liquid blue atomic splits with spring straps. Those are great for the "big" dives, Superior etc.. I would never go back to rubber straps.

Re: Spring or Rubber Straps?
my everyday fins are Cressi Rondine. They are a stiffer fin that allow you to have excellent maneuverability. As I stated before, I started with the split fins and they didn't have enough thrust. I was on a deep dive into some current, and couldn't keep up with the rest of the crew. I couldn't even swim against the current to make it back to the boat! I recently forgot my fins on a dive and had to use my appollo's. It really felt like I didn't have any fins on at all in comparison. Very awkward. When I go spearfishing I wear a full foot long blade fin, Omer millennium. (I would race anyone for titles in those baby's! ![]() I will let the ss straps go for $30 |
