Atomic Aquatics Open Heel Scuba Diving Split Fins

Very happy with these fins. Not as mutch power as my old hard fins....but way less fatigue and in rough nor Cal surge I can still hold my place just takes a few more kicks. These fins are worth every cent. The reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is I have size 15 feet so I bought the xl which fit but the spring backs are a little lose, might just be me but would like to have them a little tighter and there is no way to adjust.

These are the best power to weight ratio fins I've used in 40 years of diving,and I've owned a lot of the classic and more advanced recent fin designs.Power and flexibility with every kick, very handy fins to put on in a crowdeddive boat, and easy to take off near the ladder. The colors are also morevivid than the photos suggest, which make them fun to photograph in brighttropical waters and also make them great for finding your dive buddyin murky low visibility water. Highly Recommended.

I purchased some red ones, and I love the look of them and the easy releases. The only problem is they run on the large side.I wear size 12 men's shoes so I ordered the X-Large as it says 11.5 - 13 and my heel didn't even stick out an inch.Aside from the size snafu they are beautiful fins and I cant wait to get the right size and try them out, my other set are Oceanic V-16 splits but they run on the smaller side and hurt my feet.Ill update my review once I get the proper size and a chance to try them out in the water.*** Update ***I got in the correct size, and they fit my feet perfect. No discomfort and they are great in the water. No cramps and I like them more than my Oceanic V-16's

Used my new set of fins in Saba last week. I especially appreciated the ease of putting on the Atomic Aquatics Smoke fins while sitting on the back of the boat prior to entering the water, and later of easily removing them at the end of the dive while in the water as I avoided the pitching boat's ladder to hand the fins to the crew on the boat. At depth, the fins afford streamlined movement with small flutter kicks and minimal exertion.

Great fit, and the included spring straps on this model really make it easy to get the fins on and off with no hassle.

These fins are the best I’ve ever used. You get what you pay for.

Granted, I'm no expert SCUBA diver, but I really like these fins, especially the innovative straps, which make putting on and slipping off the fins extremely easy, almost effortless. Great quality, which I continue to find with all products that I've purchased from Atomic Aquatics. Highly recommended.

Great quality fins. I really like the straps. I read alot of reviews as far as the performance, but I think alot of that is personal taste. I just trust Atomic for good quality products that are not going to fail when I need them.
