Split Fins and their pros and cons.

Greetings;

It is always the age old question about Split and/or Paddle Fins,"Which one is better?"

To answer this question, I am going to list all the pros and cons for Split and paddle fins.

So, you can decide which type of fin suit you.

We will do the split fin this time. Paddle fins, next time.

Split Fins come out during late 90s, as an alternative to Paddle Fins.

The power of split fins come out from the speed of kicking rather than the force of kicking.

Split Fin Pros;

1.This is a excellent fin for dives who love bicycle kick(which you shouldnt) or flutter kick.

2.Split fin is easier to kick, which can reduce calf cramping and muscle fatigue.

3.Split fins are good for long time duration diving, since they are met less resistance.

Split Fin Cons;

1.Split fins do not work well when you do frog kicking and turing.

So they may not be good for tech diving.

2.If you have strong legs and do powerful kicks, split fins may not be good for you.

They can be "outkicked".

3.Basiclly, split fins are not as good as paddle fins when fighting againest current.
