both (Bio-fin and Zoom/Raptor) are excellent at avoiding cramps and are very easy to fin with... the only thing I don't like about the Bio-fins is how heavy they feel... I don't know if they are any different weight wise, but they feel heavier on my feet than the Zooms/Raptors do (Zooms and Raptors are nearly identical)
You are right. The Bio Fins are heavy and negative. I have not used the Zooms/Raptors but I have a pair of Atomic smokes. They are lighter and positive. I really like the smokes because of their buoyancy characteristics. But I think the apollos are easier on the body. At least compared to the 10 other fins I have.

Diving sucks. Don't try it.

They called themselves Guerrilla Divers.
Composed of elite divers with Macho mentalities, back when men were men, and FEAR was a lispy companion of the common Man. It was a time before insurance liabilities, lawsuits or beauracratic regulation of the "sport".
Guerrilla divers didn't need "Buoyancy Compensator Vests". In fact, "Anyone who needs a BC deserves to drown" was a popular adage.
Exploration and the Hunt came first, excitement and fun followed. Safety was the stepchild of fitness, good reflexes and a cool head.
This was a time of great Adventure.
