Not only are the Smoke on the Water fins ideal for getting the most out of your underwater experience, they're also incredible to look at. The experts at Atomic Aquatics combined opaque ans semi-transparent materials to give these fins a style all their own.
Split fins are ideal for divers who want the most out of each kick cycle. Because the fins cut through the water instead of trying to bully the water, like traditional fins do, kicking is more efficient ... and much easier on your joints. The speed at which you kick doesn't truly affect how effectively you travel through the water; what makes the difference is how the fins on your feet move the water to propel you forward. Split fins make achieving that forward momentum effortless, which is a plus when taking your fatigue and air compumption into account.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins "Smoke on the Water":
Very efficient when used with a flutter-kick, which took a little acclimation. Once I stopped over-kicking, the advantage of the split fin became apparent.
Easy to grasp strap loop makes getting on/off easy, even with gloves.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins "Smoke on the Water":
These fins are great! Atomic makes quality products and this is no exception. They are a little pricey but well worth it with spring straps already included. Great buy. Just for reference I wear a size 12 dive boot and the XL size fits perfectly.
Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins "Smoke on the Water":
I'm truly impressed by these fins. The thrust from the fins are great, the spring makes putting the fins on very easy. By the way I'm 6'3 370lb size 14 ft. These fins help me keep up with my partner without effort, and even propel my pass they at will. I Luv them!!!

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins "Smoke on the Water":
The springs and clips are not designed well. When you adjust the strength of the spring, you need a screw driver and not make a mistake in the reassemble of the clip; otherwise you will lose a dive. The clips are easily broken though it's mostly cosmetic and you can still use the fin, but you do worry about the strength of the clip. Save you money and don't buy the fins with springs.
Customer service told me that they could not sell me just the clips and that I would have to buy a new pair of springs. This doesn't make since because the clips are made to come off the springs for strength adjustments.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins "Smoke on the Water":
I have bad knees and needed to upgrade. Every time I dove with my other fins I would have intense pain for the next couple days. With the "Smoke on the Water" fins I am fine. They also have great thrust. I don't kick very hard and it is still difficult for my dive buddy to keep up with me. The straps also make them very easy to put on. I would buy another pair in a heart beat.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins "Smoke on the Water":
These fins are light years ahead of my old fins. More comfort, less stress on the legs, easier to use all around, yet able to apply power when needed. Overall these fins were great.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins "Smoke on the Water":
With less than 1 1/2 years after a total knee replacement, I needed a fin that was lightweight and efficient which would not cause fatigue on my knee. These fins were fantastic. I did a 2 tank dive the first day and had zero fatigue with all the power I needed. At age 60 I don't plan to give up diving anytime soon and these just added another dimension to my diving. I bought a pair for my wife so she could keep up. She loves her's too.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins "Smoke on the Water":
I switched over from regular Mares fins. Really noticed the difference in speed. There is a little difference in control that you might notice on tight swim throughs or wreck penetration
Fast quick service, had read some comments about Leisurepro being slow with Atomic products. Maybe due to availability, because these fins are a hot product and flying off the shelves.
They were out of stock but, emailed me as asked when they got more inventory. Quick delivery.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins "Smoke on the Water":
These are by far the best fins I have ever used, although they are the only split fin I have tried.
Found them good for thrust and turning. I don't have the weight, but they did feel heavier than most fins I have owned or tried.
Spring straps are great too. Nothing bad to say about these fins.
from San Francisco Bay Area on 4/9/2009
Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins "Smoke on the Water":
Best fins I ever used, VERY EASY to put on and take off. No adjustment ever needed on heel straps.
Delivery was prompt, but I had to return the fins for a larger size because customer service advised me to order the med fins to go with the med Seasoft boots.
(Seasoft boots have a heavy duty heel/sole)

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins "Smoke on the Water":
These are great fins. I wear an 18 shoe and the Extra Large fins fit great, with or without boots. I finally got a chance to use them after winter and they are by far the best pair I've ever owned. If you are a bigger guy and need a bigger fin, these are the ones for you. I searched and searched for a good fitting boot and fin and these fins fit the bill perfectly.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins "Smoke on the Water":
I am a BIG DIVER, over 300lbs. These fins let me get around without leg fatigue. I can't wait to get back down to around 250lbs to see just what kind of speed I can get out of them then. They are fast already and talk about being able to manuver around easier, these fins are great! If you want a really great pair of fins....get these!

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins "Smoke on the Water":
I am 54 years old and have been using "regular" fins since I was certified 9 years ago. I just returned from 2 weeks in Hawaii using my new Smoke on the Water fins. They are so much easier to use, and the strain on my legs was greatly reduced. I found my bottom time increased as well. This is the best money I ever spent on SCUBA equipment.
I have ALWAYS found Leisure Pro's service and delivery to be outstanding.

from Kansas City on 1/25/2009
Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins "Smoke on the Water":
I have owned "regular" fins for 15 years before my research lead me to these. Efficiency from split fin design is gained by using shorter kick strokes within the diver's wake profile. Less effort for the same speed means less air is used and more bottom time.
These fins offer at least two other distint advantages: Spring tension strap allows for quick and secure donning & removal. The 2nd advantage is that the fins float even in fresh water. Both features are a real plus for divers of all experience levels.
These fins are a little wider than some fins making them just a little harder to pack on trips.
Their overall design, quality and performance represent the state-of-the-art of fin technology in my opinion, and will provide you with years of dependable service. My wife also owns a pair these fins.
Leisurepro provides fast and dependable service.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins "Smoke on the Water":
These fins are awesome. I have had my Twin Jets for years, until my wife tried them on. That gave me an excuse to buy new ones. I tried a friends fins and had to get them. I like these more than my old ones! I find any excuse to use them and get in the water! I highly recommend them for shore or boat diving.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Split Fins "Smoke on the Water":
I spent 4 hours meandering through a reef in Hawaii, and had no leg fatigue whatsoever. The heel structure took a while to adjust but is the best I have had on - boots or not. The only flaw (minor one) was I found them a tad narrow - otherwise they are amazing. Fantastic speed.
