    Apollo Bio-fin Pro post problem

    Despite advice from all my DIR/GUE friends about split fins, I bought a pair of Apollo Bio-fin Pros about 8 years ago. They were my first experience with split fins and I LOVE them for almost all the diving I do locally (I still take my old Aqualung Blades when I travel due to weight).

    Now I've gotten a LOT of use out of them (maybe close to 2,000 dives), but over the past few months I've noticed that one of the four posts has deteriorated. The metallic ring embedded in it disappeared over time, possibly as a result of the post hitting something sharp or abrasive at some time.

    I assume the posts can not be repaired since they are integral with the fin. Looking for someone who needs just one fin (size L) to share a purchase with.

    Dr. Bill: Not THAT kind of doctor... but I'll take a look at it anyway!

    Dr. Bill:

    We sell one fin @ 1/2 the price of a pair. You can do this online @ www.diveapollo.com and just enter .5 in the shopping cart or any Apollo Retailer can also order just one fin.

    You can also call us toll-free at 800-231-0909.

    Thanks. I wish more fin manufacturers offered that option (although I see no reason to switch from my Bio-fins!)
