Why SplitFins deliver more propulsion with less air consumption All it took was watching the tail fins of fish – except that we couldn’t keep up with them because our traditional fins took too much effort. Using hard kicking paddle fins can result in leg strain, fatigue and cramping. Because of the kick resistance of a paddle fin, divers often “felt” like they were moving fast. But underwater speedometers proved that these divers were actually moving relatively slow. SplitFins deliver more propulsion with less drag and kick with less effort. Reducing the stress and strain of the kick results in greater sustained speed, power and comfort. Independent testing has also confirmed that the SplitFin design significantly reduces air consumption.
Not all SplitFins are the same. Splitfins come in a variety of shapes, sizes and stiffness. These contribute greatly to overall comfort and performance. A fin with short, soft blades will kick easier than a longer, stiffer one, but will require many more kicks to travel the same distance. A blade that is too stiff will require too much effort to kick comfortably. The Atomic SplitFins were specifically designed to optimize all these variables. They are easy kicking fins that deliver high thrust, speed, and efficiency with a comfortable, low frequency kick cycle.

ScubaPro – Twin Jet Max
$269.99
Like the Tail-Fin of a Humpback Whale, SCUBAPRO’s Twin Jet Fins use a Split-Hydrofoil Shape to deliver more Forward Motion with Less Effort. Result: more Power with Less Effort and Drag. This Fin style offers you the ability to move Quickly-and-Effortlessly without Sacrificing Control while Swimming at Depth. Of the four colors, the black fins are the most rigid and offer a more traditional fin experience.
Of the Three Colors, the Black Fins are the most Rigid and offer a more traditional fin experience. The Black Fins are slightly negatively buoyant. The Blue Fins model is made of a more buoyant and flexible compound than the black models. This allows you to achieve the most Bang-for-your-Kicking Buck. These fins are slightly positively buoyant. The Yellow Fin option is made of a compound similar to the Blue model, but offers the greatest opportunity for you to be seen underwater. The Yellow fins are slightly positively buoyant.
The Patented Split-Fin Propeller Technology and the Drag-Reducing Vents Reduce your Effort and Fatigue Levels. The Split Fin design Reduces-the-Amount of Resistance Felt on your Joints, which is a Big-Perk for Divers who have Knee and Hip Problems. The Split also means you’ll use Less Force-to-Propel yourself though the Water. To make it even Easier to Move through the Water, Scuba Pro’s Engineers Added Vents between the Foot Pocket and the Blade to help the Water Move-Around the Fins with each Kick Cycle drag will be a thing of the past once you put on these fins and hit the water.
