Divernet did a test HERE

I assume you are interested in the Twin Jet, I have a set which I bought 4 or 5 years ago, I like them, but they are bloody expensive.

After reading the divernet test I fancy trying the Apollo XT fins to see if I can notice the difference.

Ever seen someone frog kick in split fins? I have, and it was the funniest thing I ever saw.

Seriously, they're a lovely idea, but they're not the answer.

Just my 2c.

Digs.

Leave alone
I will probably get loads for this ....However Not a word isn't true....In Short these particular fins are absolutley F*ckin rubbish...A case of the dive industry re inventing failing miserably i hasten to add..wait til you have to dive in any current /water flow...Then you will undoubtly see the flaw in them

Think trying to pedal downhill in 1st gear on a bike ...
Again they are Crap...period

time for my medication....

I used to think they were great. I have had a pair for the last few years and swore by them. However they have now been replaced by Mares Avanti Quatros. There is alot more power there and, as said earlier, you can frog kick in them much easier.
