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 Fins, Black:

This was my first fin purchase and I am very pleased. They look and feel like they would be cumbersome and heavy when you first handle them but once they are in the water you literally glide effortlessly and gracefully through the water. I am a tall woman with large feet so the fit is very nice with my soft soled fin socks. I'm feeling more like a fish every day! Thanks!

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

These fins are an amazing value, was in the keys and my DM who was wearing $220 Apollos commented on my speed and said he was having a hard time keeping up!
The foot pocket is very large and does not fit well with my soft soled boots, however they fit perfect with my Sea Soft Stealth's which the Apollo's did not! Overall an Amazing fin at this price!! I wish they IST offered them with SS spring straps.

Comments about IST IST F-2 Talaria Open Heel Split Fins, 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 Fins, 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 Fins, 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.
