Scuba Diving Fins & Flippers:

SplitFin

The Atomic Aquatics SplitFin A radical new approach to diver propulsion. With the slightest kick, the split blade deflects to form a pair of wings that slice through the water with reduced drag, creating lift in the forward direction to propel you ahead. Compared to conventional fins, the SplitFin swims with less effort, stress and strain resulting in greater sustained speed, power and comfort. Independent testing has shown that this design can significantly reduce air consumption! Why SplitFins are better than regular fins. Because you can swim faster and further with less effort, stress and strain! Compared to the conventional style fins that you probably own, the SplitFin operates more efficiently that the "paddle" type fins that you're used to. They deliver more propulsion with less drag and kick with less effort. Using hard kicking paddle fins can result in leg strain, fatigue and cramping. This reduces your ability to sustain high speeds for long periods of time. A fin that is harlitFins virtually eliminate muscle strain, fatigue and cramping to enable you to swim longer distances against stronger currents. Divers have reported being able to make headway against currents they would not normally be able to overcome with paddle type fins. Whatever the speed of the current is, you need to swim faster than the speed of the current to make headway. The true indication of power is actual speed. A small-range rapid flutter kick with the SplitFin delivers the same or greater speeds than any paddle fin without the strain. In order to reach and sustain high speeds, you need to be streamlined. The reduced kick size of the SplitFin allows you to maintain constant speed, power and momentum throughout the kick cycle. In contrast, the wide kick used with paddle fins extends your legs above and below the slipstream of your body creating drag which slows you down just like swimming around with outstretched arms would. In a fast current, kicking any
