Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

In reading the reviews, it is obvious, that fins are like shoes--you know when they fit. Everyone is a bit different. I purchased these fins and used them on a recent trip to Costa Rica. There were some tough currents, but they were superior to the basic paddle fin which I have used on previous trips to Costa Rica.

They are a bit tougher to travel with than my old fins--longer and heavier (get the Pelican dive bag), which complicates transport a bit. They fit in my suitcase, but take up more space than the old fins leaving less room for other gear. This is something to consider in the age of airline baggage fees.

Atomic makes a great product. I wear a size 11 1/2 boot and purchased the XL. I usually wear 2mm low top booties. I have to have the straps nearly on the last click in order for them to be snug. With my 3mm hightops they fit ok. I would like to have gone down a size though.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

Very fast fins that are effortless. Big improvement over my old ones. I liked mine so much that I bought a pair for my buddy (boyfriend)!

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

had a small tear in one of the boots but [...] Atomic replaced without a problem. would buy from both again :->

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

Fins are great. I wear a size 10 1/2 shoe, I have these in a Large and use them with a size 11 Deep See 3/5mm Purge Boot. The still have plenty of room for larger boots.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

This fin is excellent. The only problem I have found is I have a Men's size 8 hard soled boot and the Medium is too small. I had to use an old pair of booties that only have a somewhat thick sole not the new boots that I recently purchased that are more like a tennis shoe. The fin is noticably faster and easier to kick. I love them. Can't wait to sell my mediums and purchase a large.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

I am going through the padi scuba class and I have only had the chance to use these fins in the pool. But I am very pleased with them so far. From what I have seen pretty much everybody else using these fins, so they must be good.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

I have been using these fins for years. I just bought my 16-year old son a pair. We have done numerous tests of these fins and we have found these fins are significantly more effecient than any other fins we have tried. As a Dive Master I need to be able to move quickly and efficiently to assist the Instructor and students. GREAT FINS! I would highly recommend!

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

I love these fins, Very little effort to fly though the water

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

Great Fins - very comfortable and a world apart from my old fins. My legs feel fresh at the end of the dive and my ankles no longer cramp. The bottom line - I love them. Everyone wants to try them out when I'm not diving too.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

use fins for scuba,excellent propulsion with less work,takes a little to get used to---size of fins is 26 inches(big) and heavy(6#)

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

I owned the Atomic Aquatics Split Fins before and I lost them. Replace them with a new pair. I will never use anything else.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

I have had these fins for a bit over a year. I have used them in springs, the gulf, and the Caribbean. They make it almost effortless to get you from here to there.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

If you are prone to leg cramps buy these fins, you will never have another cramp. Most efficient fins i've ever used. Very durable, I highly recommend.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

Less knee bending. NO CRAMPING of calf. No twisting of ankle when powering up.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

I bought these to replace my Cressi Space Frogs.... i liked my Frogs better. The foot pocket was huge though, size X-Large is definitely good for drysuit or hardsole wet boots size 11 or greater. But these fins are too stiff for my liking and could not keep up with the Oceanic and Scubrapro splits. Already sold the Atomics for a pair of Oceanic Vortex V-12s.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

I am not a picky person and was used to a pair of inexpensive fins that worked fine. I made the mistake of borrowing a freinds pair of these fins. At first I did not like the feel as I did not have any push. After modifying my kick slightly I realized that I was moving just as fast with very little effort. I just could not go back to my old fins again.

If you don't want to spend the money do not try these fins :-)

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

These are really comfortable fins. Easy to put on both in and out of the water and easy to remove after a dive. They move smoothly in the water and provide good force even with a weaker kick. The weight in the water is very good and the split fin provides a stable motion throughout the kick cycle. They give a little too much when making very small adjustments when compensating for surge or trying to back out of a hole.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

I have owned my Atomics for 4 years and my wife on our last trip to Mexico tried out a pair of split fins and had to have a pair! she is my dive buddy and i was always waiting on her but after our first test she was waiting on me. the speed u gain without added energy is great. i have heard people complain about using them in strong currents but i have not had any problems. i was sold the first time i tried split fins (Atomics) and now so is my wife!

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

Can't say enough good things about these fins. Only problem I have with them is when I let others try them, they don't want to give them back.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

Fins are very good, good control, fast to speed up and very good in currents. The size is not especially needed in calm waters. I found them a little bit to heavy and to big (especially in dive troughs). Always intended to drag down.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

These are the best fins I have ever used. Everything they say about them is true. Everybody on my trips wants to have a look and ask all kinds of questions. Buy them, you WILL NOT be dissapointed!!!

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

One of my favorite dive gear items. Fins fit perfectly, easy to attach/dettach very important in open waters where the sea can be choppy.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

They handle great. Effortless propulsion.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

Fins worked great with little or no current.
Also work great in cold water.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

I have been diving for two years and these fins are with me since my first immersion, also I had to used anothers fins and no ones feels better. It's a very effortless experience, good propulsion and very confortable.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

During my certification, it took a lot less effort to get around and I was passing up all of my classmates.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

As an instructor and tour guide I spend alot of time in the water. These fins are so easy on my legs that I do not expend near as much energy as I did with blade fins.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

What a great fin, literally no effort to get around, super efficient. Not the best for different kick styles, but frog kicks pretty well (a lot better than with other splits) and flutter kicks like a dream (I pretty much only flutter kick).

Great thrust, I like to go slow which means I barely have to move at all with these fins. I've talked to a few larger males (250 lbs+) who have them and complain that they "bottom out", that makes sense if you're a really big guy, I'm 170 lbs and I fly in mine.

My only pseudo-complaint is that they're a bit large for travelling around with. So are most Open Heel fins though, so it's not really fair to knock these.

I LOVE MY ATOMICS!

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

All i have to say is these are the only fins to buy. Lots of power and lots of control. I have a set fot the Drysuit and some a smaller pair for the wetsuit boots.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

feels really soft but strong, excellent propulsion even against moderate current, good surface propulsion as well, even better at the bottom!

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

I use my fins everytime I go diving. Before I enter the water it is so easy to slip my boots in and pull the straps tight. Viola and I am ready to dive.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

Be careful - it's easy to leave your buddy in your bubbles, kicking to keep up. Significantly improved my air consumption; very easy and efficient. Well-built, good straps, seems like they will last a long time.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

I love these fins! They are easy to use and very efficent. They are worth the money. I recommend trying them.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

I purchased Atomic Aquatics split fins after I tried most of the top fins models available on the market. They are really the best!!! Very fast and powerful, they let you swim very fast when you really need it - surprisingly, not making you exhausted. It means - very efficient rate: speed/power use. Very comfortable. The only bad thing, which cannot be avoided in such powerful fins is - they're a bit bulky and heavy for transport. Those are not backpacker fins! Those are fins for serious divers of all kinds - recreational, spearfishing or professional.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

These are very good fins. Problem is that the Apollo Bio Pro fins are better for about the same price. [...]

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

good deal, nice and comfortable.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

These fins are great underwater. On the surface, the tend to be a little less efficient and akward, but who wants to swim up there anyway. For me, the blades are a little wide and tend to rub against each other when tooling around. This could easily be my technique and it doesn't take away from performance.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

These fins are comfortable and have amazing propulsion. I actually have to kick gently so as to not get ahead of my buddy while diving. I love these fins!!

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

It's a good pair of fins for the money. The split design really helps when maneuvering. It's a bit stiff, but it does the its job well.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

These fins are fast. Good for diving and surface swimming. Only drawback is the strap clip. Once you undo it there's nothing to grab to keep hold of your fins...tough in rough water. I miss my old Mares straps where you could loosen the clip and the strap was still attached at both ends.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

Great Fins, Have another set of regular fins and after using the split fins I am sold on them and will always have a pair.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

These fins were recommended by a couple of people who have used them and I bought a pair for both my wife and myself based on those recommendations. We are both extremely pleased with these fins. The difference in workload and efficiency between the Atomics and the other fins we've used is like night and day.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

Excellant fin, no leg fatigue

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

Liked much better than the XpertZoom (by Tusa) and VoloPower (by Mares). Open toe design. More surface area.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

these fins are super-fast but not that maneuverable. If you are going to be diving where you need speed over finesse these are your fins. I reciently used them in Key Largo and it was tough using them to swim around the reef. But i was the only person to catch up to an eagle ray and get a picture.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

Really nice. I was kind of sceptical when I got the package--they seem really heavy on land! In the water--totally different story...smooth, efficient and completely comfortable.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

I starting diving with a dive shop which sold atomic products. Atomic's quality with its products are world class. These fins, hands down, smoke any other on the market. i have tried many fins. buy these fins and you will love it. brings a whole new enjoyment to diving!

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

I love these fins. They have a great power to effort ratio. I had a buddy "hitch a ride" when we were navigating the Cozumel currents and didn't even notice. The only thing I wouldn't use them for is tight spaces, i.e. wreck penetration or cave diving, they're really long. :-)

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

As the title suggests this is the best fin I have ever owned, or used. Period. Staying stationary in strong currents requires little effort. The propulsion generated is twice that of conventional fins with less than half the effort.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

When one inspects this fin, he or she will find it to be sturdy, yet flexible. This is the highest quality fin I have used, and it better be with the price. ON a dive, you will find yourself going faster with little effort. I would be examining the Caye Chapel Canyons down in Belize, and then I would look up and see that I had passed my divemaster, whom at the debrief said I need to slow down, haha.Overall, this is a really good fin. It cost a fair bit, [...]but you do get what you pay for.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins:

Great product! It was easy and fast. What more could you want.
