Tusa Xpert Zoom vs. Apollo Bio Fins 4 Wife...

[CowboyFan&Diver]

My wife and I are both needing/wanting new fins. I think i've made up my mind and going with the Apollo Bio's. However my wife (based strictly on how they look) likes the Tusz Xpert Zoom's.....anyone ever try them both? Any suggestions?

I haven't tried both- but I have the Bio Fins- and love them. They are the most comfortable fins ever- no pressure at all on your foot- you can't even feel them

They're both good. If your wife prefers the Tusa's, let her get them. You don't want her to be unhappy with YOUR decision if she decides she's not happy with the way her fins look. LOL

Otherwise it could come down to trim. How is her trim? If she tends to be a little foot-heavy, the lighter Tusa's may be a good idea. If she tends to be a little head heavy (or has issues with floaty feet diving dry), the extra weight the bio-fins deliver (solid natural rubber) may help, and be worth considering the less-attractive fin (from her perspective) for practicality.

+1 my wife chose to go with the same Zooms I have, cause she thought the bio's were ugly too... she loves them and everyone's happy...

Thanks for the tips....I recently got my Apollo Bio's in.....THEY ARE AWESOME - the feel like a natural extension of my own leg. May get her a pair - put some colored duct tape on them to LIVEN them up a pit....LOL

I got the white bio fins and they're actually a little more stiff than the black ones. They're still the first pair of fins that haven't given me cramps though!
