Newer diver needs help picking out split fins

[NWdude83]

Im looking for a pair of open heel split fins that either come with spring straps or will use EZ spring straps, that cost $100-$150. I have been looking at several fins and would like to get some opinions on them, and not get the 20 questions routine or the "you should spend a lot more than you want to" comments. Thank you

You ask "which of these - if any - do you like" yet you don't have an "if any" option. Sort of a "none of the above" kind of choice.

PS - I know you don't want "20 questions" but how about ONE question:

Why do you want split fins?

I have Jets, Vipers & Raptors.I like all ,but when I'm hunting(lobster, fish,ect)on a trip where I'm doing 6 or 7 dives with a lot of distance sometimes against current I find I cramp less and they're easier on my legs. I looked at the Tusa & Oceanic all were to small/short to propel me,Atomics (what I really wanted) a little pricey and the Mares just right (price and power). But I'm 6'3" @215lb.s I have smaller stature friends that love their Oceanics.

just bear in mind that split fins aren't great in current...

Atomic Smoke on the Water - a little bit more than you indicate but used you might find them........Why Atomic Aquatics SplitFins deliver more propulsion with less air consumption

like many people, i want something thats easier on the legs/requires less effort (less o2).

Im 5'11 200lbs, i dont know if you would consider that "smaller stature".

Scuba Pro twin jets and the only split fins that I've ever had on that I didn't hate and they do come with spring straps. I still have my first set of fins, Tusa x-pert zooms. With them, I feel like I'm riding a 10 speed bicycle in first gear. I would sell them cheap.

That said, I'll never buy another set of split fins.

Call various dive shops in your area & see what you can rent so you can try them out for yourself, to figure out which you like the best..
I have the Tusa Zoom Z3's but I couldnt tell you which are the best as far as comfort & propulsion between your 6 options..

scuba pro twin jets have three pair. forget about the money and find the fin that works for u. u should be able to pick a pair up for around 200.00 dollers well worth the money one of the only things ive baught new!
