Split fins, by their very design, take pressure off of divers’ knees, ankles, and hips, making them a great choice for divers with mobility issues.
Apollo Bio Fin Pro’s are the original split funs used by the US Navy (incl Navy Seals), have won numerous awards, and currently retail for US$219 (which is approximately CDN$292) +tax, which is approximately CDN$440.
Considering that they are brand new, never used and are still in the original bag, they are a steal at this price.
Technically, the size is M/S. However, I have size 10 feet and they fit nicely when I wear a 2 mm Brooks boot with a fairly heavy rubber sole. Apollo’s website indicates that if you use a 5mm boot with a regular sole, they should fit a male size 8, or a female size 9, but I would recommend that you bring your booties with you and try them on, just to be safe.
Features (from the Apollo’s web site):
• Split Fin, Open Heel
• Adjustable Rubber Strap
• Natural rubber blade and foot pocket
• Blade at 20º angle reduces strain on joints
• Easy finning for all levels of fitness
• Effortless power without muscle cramping
• Increased maximum speed, reduced fatigue
• Up to 40% reduced muscle fatigue, energy output and air consumption; longest recorded bottom times in testing
I bought them several years ago at Divers Direct in Orlando for US$169.99 but never used them (my “daily diver” fins are pair of ancient Mares).
Still in the original bag, with the original price tag (see photos).
