Speed, comfort, maneuverability; you can have it all. Extensive field testing has shown that each participant was able to reach and sustain higher speeds when using the bio-fin than they could achieve with conventional paddle fins. Divers state that when swimming with underwater speedometers or on timed runs along a measured underwater course in full scuba gear, the fins are so efficient that they can swim easily at a relaxed pace without fatigue or strain.

Improved cruise speeds combined with reduced effort and decreased air consumption greatly increase the distances that can be covered in a dive. Every level of diver , from the student to the most advanced technical
diver, will benefit from using the bio-fin.

History

  
Apollo was the first manufacturer to visualize the benefits of "propellor fin" technology. With any new technology a product must do more than look and sound good. The bio-fin had to stand up to our claims. After years of product development we introduced the first split fin in late 1998. The lightweight material was buoyant and fairly rigid. It could outperform any traditional paddle fin!

Our designers felt that the flexibility and lack of bouyancy inherent to rub-ber would make it even better. Six months later the original bio-fin PRO was introduced. It has been "Tester's Choice" every year since 1999. The proven performance of the original PRO model moved industry leaders to embrace the idea of propellor fin technology. Inspired by "the best new diving pro-duct introduced in over a decade" Rodale's Scuba Diving, Feb 1999, others began to produce their own synthetic variations of the bio-fin. Amongst some stiff competition the natural rubber bio-fin PRO has been awarded "Best Overall" every year since 2001.
