Apollo was the first manufacturer to recognize the potential of Split-fin technology. Every major dive company now offers some form of split-fin. In a sea of imitators Apollo's bio-fin series has continually taken top honors. Every model bio-fin submitted to SDM for annual review has rated "Testers' Choice". With eight consecutive wins, Apollo's bio-fin series is clearly the fin to beat. The Apollo Bio-fin standards of 100% rubber and 20 degree angle help this fin provide excellent performance, low strain, and reduced air consumption. Some people feel that the more rigid blade makes it respond slightly quicker to direction changes and alternate kicking styles. It is an excellent choice for very strong kickers as the more rigid blade provides a stronger resistance and more traditional paddle fin feel. The C-series option is also available on the Bio-fin pro in Black (Pro-C), Yellow (Pro-C), or White (Pro-C) and the XT (XT-C.
Apollo's split fin design is consistently rated as the fasted fin in the water providing excellent maneuverability and position control
