Split vs Blades fins: What is your preference?

[deepdiver47]

Notice how I said preference!

I for one have been using spilts for 3 years now and just this week tried my blades back on and WOW, so much work.

I have a motive for asking this question, I am looking to but Apollo Bio fins with my GC, anyone have these?

[Wolfie2012]

I like both but I use paddles both wet and dry since I find it easier to frog kick with them. I had tried bio-fins for my drysuit and liked how they were constructed but they wouldn't fit my boot so I had to go with turtles.

My wife swears by her splits.

I have the apollos and love them. Definately get the spring straps.

I've been diving splits for years now... Love em'. And love the Apollo!

Splits for me. Allows me to keep up with my dive buddy. He has powerful kicks, so I would have to work too hard to keep up.

i'd like to try those bio fins to see what they're like....see if it helps with my air consumption

I prefer the blades... Jets/Turtles. I have big strong legs, the extra "work" doesn't bother me.

I've got the huge strong leg thing to and don't even notice the effort with my jets. Love my jets.

I dunno about you but my turtles seem like even more work than my regular blades, though it is hard to determine with the extra weight & drysuit I suppose.

I still love my Mares Quattro's, except that they are red.
