Questions about this item:

Shopper What are the dimensions on this fin?

LeisurePro S These fins are approx. 11 wide and 23" long.

Shopper What size fin you would recommend for a size 8-9?

LeisurePro S I would recommend the medium.

Shopper I'm right on the cusp between two sizes. Do you recommend the medium or large?

LeisurePro S The rule of thumb with boots/fins is always to go smaller than larger. I would recommend starting with the medium then.

Shopper What size Apollo Bio-Fin Pro XT C-series must I take for use with an Xcel Titanium 6.5 mm size 11 boot?

LeisurePro S I would recommend the XL.

Shopper Will the X-LARGE Apollo Bio-Fin Pro XT C-series - with Stainless steel fin strap except a size 10 D.U.I. Rock Boot ?

LeisurePro S Yes, it should.

Shopper I am looking to buy a pair of the Bio-Fin Pro fins, but i cant choose between the Apollo Bio-Fin Pro XT C-series Silver or the Apollo Bio Fin Pro C-Series. What are the differences and what would you recomend. I am also looking at the "Smoke on the water" split fins.

LeisurePro S The XT designates a stiffer compound then the standard Bio Fin Pro. The "Smoke on the water" fins are a softer compound than the standard atomic split fin, so the smokes equivalent will be the standard Bio fin pro c-series. Both fins are excelent, the apolo fins are a bit more popular.

I bought these fins thinking I was going to get the best. I already own a pair of Scuba Pro Split fins and wanted to go one better. I have a large foot [14] I bought the LL the largest size they do. I was disappointed to find it too small. I had to buy a 2nd pair of narrower booties to fit the pocket. I love the steel spring strap and would highly recommend this feature for any fin. But I actually prefer my Scuba Pros, this after almost a year of using both fins side by side. I think the Scuba Pros are way more comfortable and get me through the water faster. Another thing is, I do not think split fins in general are useful for tech diving when you are carrying large loads [multiple tanks] Paddle fins are better. I also think the original black Apollos are better than the XT C-series silver.

I can actually feel these fins dragging my entire body threw the water at high speeds. If my body was shaped like a torpedo then I could swim to China in about 3 hours.

Comments about Apollo Bio-Fins Pro XT C-series Silver - with Stainless steel fin strap:

The best fins out there. I hate to say that there is a fin better than the jet fins, but these are it. They will push you through the water with ease. Most people have trouble keeping up with me. Buy them and you will see what I mean! I own 4 different types of fins, but these are my go-to ones from now on.

Comments about Apollo Bio-Fins Pro XT C-series Silver - with Stainless steel fin strap:

This Fins are my new favorites.
Normally, before this fins, I dived with normal fins.
But on holliday in New Zealand, after hiking 20 kilometers across "Mordor" (Tongariro Alpine Crossing:-) I started to hate my quite hard Fins, my untrained knees didn't like the Tongariro hiking (But it was GREAT!)
But then I saw the Apollo Bio Fin in a Divestore and could hire a pair and I was amazed!
I dived the quite soft regaular Bio Fin Pro and from the first stroke (? My native speech is not english, you surely guessed it, whatever:-) from the first stroke on I knew I want new Fins, in fact: This ones.
Back home in the colder lakes in Europe with a drysuit and more equipent and hale knees I chooesed the harder ones.
Out of the box they semed to be really much harder, but in the water they are exactly the right choice. You can easily swim the same speed as your buddy, even faster and longer, without spending much energy or getting a cramp or so. And even the "Frog Kick" works.
And they look really cool.
And the Spring Strap is a very good feature. Put it on in deeper water with one hand: works. Walk into muddy water and put it on blind too. Undress the same.
