"Aeris
leaps into the split-fin market with its new Velocity
Duo. According to the company, the fin was designed to
provide greater thrust while reducing muscle fatigue.
The dual blade design allows the diver to deliver a much
more efficient flutter kick, thus reducing the amount
of effort needed for forward propulsion...
It's in real-world diving conditions that the Duo
shows its stuff. Considered a nice all-around reef
fin among test divers, the Duo is stable when pumping
against a current, maneuverable when ducking around reefs and responsive at
lower speeds."

"Like
its macho XT cousin, the Bio-Fin Pro Yellow is a bonafide
speedster, and a real neck-snapper off the mark. Stable
at high speeds and quick and nimble on the reef...the
vibrant color is intended for divers and guides who want
to be noticed. And like all Bio-Fin Pros, the Yellow
is made of 100 percent natural rubber, which not only
contributes to its performance, but also makes for an
extremely comfortable foot pocket."

"Like
earlier SplitFins, the Reef Red sports a longer-than-average
blade--the longest split fin blade in this group. In
spite of its length, the fin easily scoots around underwater
corners. On the speed course, the Reef Red heats up the
water, regardless of fin kick, but it really showed its
stuff on the ergo dives. It's powerful yet stable when
streaking through blue water, and easy to control down
among the corals. "

"Made of a space age polymer called Evaprene, the V6
is lighter than most splits and has a stiffer-than-average
feel, similar to a paddle fin. Many split fin fans prefer
this combination of light weight and stiffness over the
heavier, more rubbery blades found on most splits.
The V6 does just about everything well. It's very easy
to control while exploring wrecks or reefs."

"Short, wide fin blades provide very good stability.
..proficient in the turns, and they offer good maneuverability.
Soft graphite material makes for a comfortable foot pocket.

"A compact split fin with a comfortable foot pocket
that burned up the speed course and slalom courses en
route to the title of best overall full-foot fin of 2004."
