Hmm... Must give them a try. At a glance, they looked the same.

I'd be most interested to see which one you feel is the better, the Tusa or
the Apollo; I want a relatively easy fin to just potter around the reef,
rather than do major speed swims, so I don't really want to "feel" the fin
much (which I gather the SP Twin Jets will do). But then my intended use
will be quite different from others intended use, hence the range of fins
available. :)
