Brand:Tusa
Located in:Essential Equipment, Fins
When using the standard, flat fin, propulsion is inhibited solely by fault of design. When the leg is completely extended, there remains an angle of 27 degrees between the heel of the foot and the calf of the leg. This 27-degree angle causes 10% of the propulsion that is produced by the kicking motion to be lost. Because the fin is angled below the body, during the kick phase, the body is pushed up and forward, instead of straight ahead. With a normal flat fin, 10% of the diver exertion to propel him forward is lost by battling this upward force. With the TUSA X-PERTZOOM FIN, that 27-degree angle has been incorporated into the fin. This means that when the leg is fully extended, even though the angle exists between the foot and calf, the fin ends up parallel to the leg. This means that 100% of the energy expended during the kicking phase is directed toward the propulsion of the diver.

I have used these fins for a number of years for general SCUBA and spearfishing.. Last year, I lost one in heavy seas on a deep water diving trip. For some reason, all of the shops were out of the size/color I wanted, and I would up purchasing one, and then another, pair of competitors' highly touted fins. Neither brand compared with the TUSA X-Pert Zooms, and as soon as I found what I wanted I bought another pair. The angle of the fin makes surface swims a breeze, which also makes them ideal snorkeling fins.

I'm doing half the amount of kicks that I used to. I didn't notice it at first until I came across some markers that had kick counts. One of them was supposed to be 14 kicks and I did it in 6.

Three other divers and myself, out of a group of six, wore these fins. Comming up out of a canyon we were blasted by a strong current. Those of us wearing the split fins could'nt swim the current. We had to dive back down into the canyon to avoid being swept away. The other divers wearing regular fins could have overcome the current. These fins are dangerous! I'm a strong swimmer in good shape. I have'nt worn them since that dive.

These are the best fins ever! They are so efficient no leg cramps! They are fast under water with little effort and I especially love how they come in a variety of colours I haven't been on a dive boat yet where I get mixed up with someone else's fins (unlike the oceanic V12's being all black!) I much prefer these to the mares avanti quattros which were my previous fins!

The open back design is a plus, especially with boots. Also if the strap rips you would only have to replace the strap. On my last fins the heel ripped so the fins had to be replaced. Very comfortable and easy to put on. Much less effort needed to swim than standard type fins I've had in the past. Definitely worth every penny!

I thought these fins might be too stiff when I first tried them for shallow snorkeling, but once I got used to them and started using them for diving - I fell in love. They do require some leg strength for fast swimming, but are easy to maneuver in.

Great fins-comfortable, great price, efficient really enjoyed using in Cozumel recently. Accomodated the current bootie I own and I am going to purchase a heavier boot and I am sure it will fit that as well. I like the flexibility of the Tusa fins, my Cressi fins were so stiff I had scraped the skin off the top of my toes by the end of a dive vacation.

Head and shoulders above the rest! The split fin and angled design reduces effort and they really mean it! The slightest little kick really "zooms" you forward, and with a small learning curve, you're able to maneuver much easier in the water using only your legs!

A diving buddy swears the expensive solid fins he bought a few years ago are the best they've ever made. But when I let him use my X-pert Zooms on one dive, he was sold and tried to steal them from me the rest of the trip. He's now an owner, too!

The only drawback - and keep this in mind when purchasing any split fin - is that although they are FANTASTIC in relatively calm water, they do require more effort than a solid fin when swimming against a strong current. Not sure how the physics work on that, but it's true. Still, they're the best fins I've ever owned and definitely worth the extra few dollars. Cheaper when purchased as part of a package.

Every time I dive people ask "do those split things work?" These are by far the best fins Ive every used. I have problems with cramps but these provide ease when snorkeling, spearfishing, and diving. These accommodate any size boot even for divers with wider feet. The angle of the fin helps with more efficient propulsion and cuts down on fatigue. Very durable and will last for years if taken care of. Definitely worth the extra few bucks.

They're so easy to put on and off, and i noticed a considerable amount of energy saved just from using these fins. Buy them, it's definitely worth it.

The size chart says the mediums fit mens size 7-11. In addition, it says to add one size if you are using hard sole boots. I wear mens size 8 and was using the Tusa Imprex hard soled boots and I would not recommend the medium size fins with anything smaller. Without the boots, my feet would drown in these fins. For soft soled boots, I would rather have the small size zoom fins. The foot pocket does seem to have a little extra room in terms of width, so it's clear that they can handle bigger hard soled boots than my size 8's. I'm sure they can handle size 9 boots, and probably 10's.

As for the fins in the water....haven't used them that much yet, but they seem fine. I was a little worried that the foot pocket might be too loose in terms of width, but I haven't noticed that. They are heavy weight and seem well constructed. My medium's weight 2 lbs, 3 oz. each. That's still less than Apollo's, but a lot more than my Oceanic Caribe full foots.

These fins are fantastic. I did a lot of reading about split vs single blade fins before I purchased. I would have to now be in the category of people who have tried and love split fins - I think it is a myth that they are not efficient or quick. My partner has Plana Avanti Quattro fins and I don't have a problem with speed against him. They are so effortless and quite effective with even with the flick of your ankle! They also tend to stir up the bottom LESS! I will stay with splits in future and these are a great fin to start with! Quality materials and fin straps also!

These work well for both snorkeling and scuba, for both weaker and stronger swimmers, and for short and longer stroke/legged people.

This particular pair was purchased for my 13yr old daughter who gave them a 5 star rating.

Using only for recreational diving in warm water and it works perfect. I do like split fins and never come back to regular ones anymore. Maybe you can find better ones, but not for the same price.

I already owned Tusa's in a smaller size but they were difficult to get on/off with treaded boots. These work great and have become my new usual fins. I already sold the others.

Once you get a pair your buddies will constantly be crying "slow down - I cant keep up". The efficiancy of these are excellent and less effort for more forward motion makes for a happy diver - unless your the buddy without a pair!!!

A great SCUBA fin! Reduces muscle fatigue greatly compaired to a solid fin. I do not recommend this or any angled fin for snorkling. Excellent for any kind of diving. Have one pair for work and one for rec!
