Atomic SplitFins: The
Best Money Can Buy

Are these the world’s best fins? Rodales Scuba Lab thought so. So do some of diving’s leading educators. What makes SplitFins so special?

Atomic SplitFins use the patented Nature’s Wing® split-fin technology. This means that the fins use their blade area far more effectively than conventional “paddle” fins do. Compared to conventional fins, SplitFins 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!

A fin that is hard to kick is often thought of as being more powerful. However, tests with underwater speedometers show that divers wearing such fins are actually moving slower, even though they “feel” as though they are moving fast. Kicking effort has no relationship to speed or power; only efficient design does.
