Atomic Splitfin Open Heel

- Reviews
Atomic Split Fins offer a radical new approach to diver propulsion. With the slightest kick the split blade deflects to form a pair of wings that slice through the water with reduced drag creating lift in the forward direction to propel you ahead.
Compared to conventional fins they swim with less effort, stress and strain resulting in greater sustained speed, power and comfort. Independent testing has shown that this design can significantly reduce air consumption!

Please note that colours Purple and Pink are only available in sizes Small, Medium and Large.
The Splitfin comes as standard with an adjustable rubber strap but a spring strap is available. The Atomic Spring strap is an excellent upgrade option to further improve the comfort, fit and ease of getting the straps on and off.
