Using the patented split fin technology, the Talaria delivers more forward power than conventional fins with excellent effort/thrust ratio, which means less effort and drag per kick. The fin is built with the best material and then fine-tuned to the most ideal hardness. Like a pair of underwater wings, Talaria allows the divers unrivaled freedom of movement underwater.

Comments about IST IST F-2 Talaria Open Heel Split Fin, Black:

Haven't been in the Open Water with these yet but they kicked (no pun intended) as s in our confined water dives. They were comfortable and as good as the Vortex V12's I tried for all my flailing in the water at half the price.

We bought 3 pairs and one flipper had a quick release that kept popping out when tightening the heel straps.

Comments about IST IST F-2 Talaria Open Heel Split Fin, Black:

Splits are definitely better than the older styles. I had an easier time keeping up with my instructor. Although this pair was not as highly rated as, say the ScubaPro "TwinJet", the return on the investment was certainly greater.

Comments about IST IST F-2 Talaria Open Heel Split Fin, Black:

These were purchased after I had barrowed a pair from a shop while taking an advanced open water class. I love the size of the "foot pocket". I have size 13 feet and these accomidate my boots and feet without sqeezing or pinching. Good thrust as well and light weight. I won't go back to my other fins.
