I tried the Bio-fins some  while back and just couldn't get used to them.
The Scubapro 'Twin Jets' were a different story.  They lent themselves
easily to the full range of finning styles; appeared to be far more rigid
than the other split-fin models that I'd tried; and - with the extended foot
plate and large pocket - proved one of the most comfortable fins that I've
ever worn.  I was so impressed that I put them on my wish list to buy - once
I've worn out the Farralon spring-heel 'Jet Fins'! :-)
