Atomic Split fin Smoke on the Water 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. Learn More

Aquabionic Warp1 Fins The new aquabionic warp technology by CETATEK provides fins the ability to instantly adapt and continuously change based on the demands of the diver. The unique construction of the warp1 blade allows changes in its geometry and surface area under load. At rest, the blade is relatively flat, but as the diver starts to kick, the stiff blade rails are forced to separate, and at the same time the flexible and pleated central membrane stretches to create a deep scoop to effectively channel the water to create thrust. VERSATILE Frog, Flutter, Scull… match your kicks to the surrounding environment. Outstanding performance with any kick style. COMFORTABLE Avoid tiring any one set of muscle groups. Kick styles and thrust can be instantly modified to match resistance and effort. FAST Under full power, with blade size and scooping at full extension, the fins provide amazing speed. EFFICIENT Conserve gas and energy throughout the dive. Experienced divers report excellent SAC rates using warp1 technology. Choose below between standard rubber straps or spring straps.

Aqua Lung HotShot Fins This amazing fin has been engineered with the traveling diver in mind. It offers: - Unsurpassed comfort - Compactness for carry-on travel - Power for a fully-outfitted scuba diver HotShot fins come in three colours: Green, Pink and Blue Comfort: The foot pocket is designed to be worn with bare feet! The top and sides of the foot pocket are soft against bare skin Neoprene socks may be used for thermal protection Unique, self-adjusting Comfo-strap is buckle free. This particular type of elastomer guarantees comfort Mid-foot Flex Joint The blade attaches to the sides of the foot pocket rather than at the front of the foot pocket. Prevents hyper-extension of the toes and ankles Maximizes the transfer of power from the leg to the fin Compact and Light Weight: Fits in carry-on luggage! Ideal with new Departure bag from Deep See. Measures only 20.9 in. / 53 cm overall length Size regular weighs only 3.28 lbs / 1.5 kg Power: Due to the Mid-Foot Flex Joint, the entire length of blade flexes and provides forward thrust. With a traditional fin, the third of the blade in front of the foot pocket is considered dead space and provides no forward thrust. The result is that the HotShot provides the power of a fin that is 30% longer! Geared with silicone slings (Power Bands). These pure silicone slings are loaded with energy during the power stroke, which they release prior to the upstroke Twin-Speed Gear Shift The silicone Power Bands form the HotShot gear system The gear shift allows the diver to choose the best speed-to effort ratio Divers can change gear settings while wearing the fins The blade is made of a semi rigid customized technopolymer. The result is an excellent spring effect and flexibility to maximize thrust. The rubberized ribs are made of two different elastomeric compounds to provide the greatest elasticity Other features: Comes in three sizes: small, regular, large/x-large Anti-slip rubber pads on the bottom of fin keep divers safe on boat decks Grooves along inside bottom of foot pocket prevent foot from being vacuum-sealed in foot pocket making doffing easy Power bands are protected on the bottom to prevent contact with the ground Learn More

Cressi Frog Plus Fins Cressi’s latest addition to its extensive line of world renowned fins is the Frog Plus open heel scuba diving fin. The Frog Plus features many of the great characteristics of a traditional paddle fin along with introducing a revolutionary new blade material that is both extremely durable and nearly indestructible. The Frog Plus utilizes Cressi’s patented three material injection molding process. The three materials consist of a nice comfortable rubber on the foot pocket that extends up the side rails of the blade. The second material is the revolutionary new dual density techno polymer which forms the blade, and in conjunction with the third silicone based material creates a channeling effect. The channeling effect is the characteristic of the fin that enables a high level of energy to be transferred in both up and down strokes of the kick pattern. The Frog Plus also incorporates Cressi’s patented positioning of the foot pocket below the blade. This design increases the working surface area of the blade by 20%. The combination of the channeling effect and the foot pocket mounted beneath the blade creates a very powerful and efficient fin with minimal leg strain. Because of these characteristics, the Frog Plus fin is an ideal choice for the entry level to advanced diver. Learn More

Aqua Lung Express ADJ Fins Available in these colours: Red/Black, Blue/Black, Pink/Black, White/Grey(Arctic) and White/Lavender he Express fin is now available in an open-heel version. The Express ADJ fin represents the latest in technology and material innovation. Comfort, power and efficiency are the hallmarks of this propulsion machine. Strap a pair on and see for yourself. The Express fin works on the same principle as the popular Slingshot and Hotshot fins. The function of the Slingshot power bands has been converted into the Express “Armadillo”. This patented, elongated membrane is made from ultra-elastic rubber. Like power bands, it accumulates elastic energy during the down stroke and returns it at the end of each kick cycle. The Armadillo also bridges the gap between the front of the foot pocket and the back of the blade, which eliminates any water transfer through the fin. The blade connects halfway back on the foot pocket at the mid-foot flex joint. This eliminates hyper-extension of the toes and ankles. The foot pocket is not only comfortable, but provides different thickness zones which properly secure the foot to the blade for maximum energy transfer. Rubber side ribs channel the water down the length of the fin minimizing the spill-over effect. Features the ESBS (Ergonomic Strap and Buckle System). The protruding press – to- release buttons can be operated easily even while wearing thick gloves. The strap, made of rubber with anti-aging compounds, has three convenient loops. This makes strap easy to tighten or pull up over the heel even with the thickest of gloves Over-sized, anti-slip rubber pads on the bottom of the fin Learn More

Palau Palau opens the way for a new type of snorkelling and swimming fin. In actual fact, it has been designed for two specific needs. The first was to have a foot pocket that could easily adapt to at least three or four consecutive sizes so that the same fin could be used by all the members of a family, or by a group of friends or easily rented out in a diving centre or on a charter boat, without requiring an infinite number of sizes. The second need was that of guaranteeing extreme comfort and an easy fit even if this is a fin with a strap to be worn with bare feet. The result is a fin that is extraordinarily practical, that adapts to practically any foot and that allows for very quick fitting in any situation. The blade is made from a light yet responsive material that assures a kick that is fluid, effortless yet at the same time quite powerful. The strap has a strong ring on the upper part to allow reversal of the strap itself or to fix the fins to the body or the equipment. Please note, these are designed to be worn bare foot, and are not for Scuba Diving. Palau is available in 5 sizes that cover shoe sizes from 32 to 47. Learn More
