Bio Fins are the only split fins made with 100% natural rubber. Although a bit heavier in your gear bag, for the purpose of diving, you won’t feel it. Rubber is king! No compound, hybrid or synthetic material can beat the comfort, flexibility and responsiveness of natural rubber
Apollo Bio Fins designed with a 20º angle to accommodate diver’s natural tendency to bend slightly at the ankle and knee. The result is maximum on demand propulsion with the least amount of stress on the body.
Bio Fins provide lift and propulsion with less effort and more power. Unlike other fins which push water up and down, Bio Fin blade directs water flow over the leading and trailing edges to provide power, lift and forward thrust on each stroke.
Scuba Diving Magazine protocol states that qualifying fins must be new to the test process. Bio-Fin series qualified for 8 annual reviews. Awarded “Tester’s Choice” 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 & 2007
Diving Fins:
Diving Fins are for Propulsion and Manoeuvring underwater.
The Two Types of fins are open heel and closed heel Fins. Most open heel fins require the diver to wear booties.
Stiff Fins generally float and force a bad attitude in the water, whereas a softer rubber fin, or a fin with a rubber membrane, are slightly negatively buoyant and bring your feet down for a straight and streamlined profile.
The key is to choose fins that are not necessarily good looking, but are comfortable and soft in the water.
Another consideration is a fin with spring straps as they are far easier to pull on and off in a crowded dive boat.
