Tusa X-Pert Zoom Fins vs. Apollo Bio Fins Pro

[SambaKing]

Which ones better, or does it really matter which one you buy?

[Defman]

I have both and can't really tell a difference. The TUSA weigh a little less making them slightly more travel friendly.

1. If your local shop sells them, see if you can demo them....
2. Or look for used ones to see which one you like and sell the other....
3. Or stop by the local dive site with a blackjack and whack some unsuspecting newbie over the head and "borrow" theirs...

Option 3 does carry some Bad Mojo, but "to each his own" they say.

Both are equally fine! I own Tusa Zooms.
I read about this and it made sense to me. So I bought them!

CRAZY ANGLE OR INCREDIBLE GENIUS? When using the standard, flat fin, 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 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. The angle of the Tusa X-Pert Zoom fins corrects this and gives you unparalled performance.

Bio fins win every comparison.

But they cost more.

I chose bio-fins... which are you choosing?

[mitsuguy]

I like the lighter weight Tusa's personally, but both are pretty darned good...

My wife has Tusa Zoom and I have used Tusa fins for about 15 years. I put new straps on the fins after about ten years and was good to go. However, I'm sure you will be happy with either. You need to try both on and see which fits your feet the best.

I plan on demoing some bio-fins this weekend. I can only image how much nicer they will be than my $15 paddle fins.

I have the Tusa fins and my wife has the Bio fins, and we both really like what we have. I tried a pair of Bio Fins and thought they were great but really couldn't tell a difference against my Tusa fins

[Black-Gorrilla]

well, im speaking from what i have read and heard...

-Bio-Fin: Wins all the gear tests... always gets awesome score, and they look ok... (Im buying some soon... white)
-Tusa: they sell... my friend has some and loves them(except for surface swims) they are cheaper, and they are durable.

Whichever you buy, make sure you get the spring straps! They're amazingly helpful.

I had the same connundrum as you but ended up going with biofins because they were so comfortable when I tried my fiancee's on.
