Description
The newest Atomic Aquatics SplitFin®, "Smoke on the Water" gives an exciting new look to basic black, combining opaque and semi-transparent materials together for a beautiful rich looking effect. The foot pocket and side rails of the fin are molded from our exclusive high energy polymer used in our Reef Red and Liquid Blue models.
Accompanying the new look, "Smoke on the Water" is fitted with our newest innovation, the Atomic Aquatics Spring Strap. Like every product we make, our innovative design re-thinks the old and improves upon the concept. What’s unique is the "variable pitch" of the stainless steel spring (Pat.Pend). Unlike other spring straps that have a constant coil of the same diameter, our new spring straps have a variable pitch and section geometry (they change shape) in specific regions of the strap. These special shaped regions allow the spring to stretch more easily for a more comfortable fit and make them stronger to resist breakage or permanent deformation if they are over-stretched or abused. The spring straps are fitted to our patented quick release buckle system that permits simple, one handed removal or attachment. These new straps will also retrofit any existing Atomic Aquatics open heel Split Fins by simply snapping them on in place of the old straps. A large, rubber heel pad with oversized finger grip adds comfort and makes slipping them on and off quick and easy. Constructed of rust resistant type 316 stainless steel, this may be the last fin strap you ever buy.

Reviews
During my Advanced Open Water training I was doing the navigation dive and my instructor could barely keep up with me when I did not even realize that I was flying through the water. Of note, my instructor was wearing a pair of $800 fins so these fins are incredible for thrust with little exertion.
My only complaint is that these are big fins. They do however fit in my gear bag so it really is not a problem. Since they are longer fins I have to be extra careful that I do not kick the sea bottom and kick up silt. As I am still honing the craft of diving this should not be a problem in the near future.
While these fins are expensive, if you are searching for a top of the line fin that will allow you to cover large distances with minimal effort, these are the fins for you. I recommend these fins and give them a 5/5.
