EFFORTLESS KICKING & MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY
Sleek, Streamlined, Simply Efficient
Not all Split Fins are created equal. Atomic Split Fins feature a flexible blade designed with innovative Propeller-Fin™ technology, making kicks effortlessly smooth and cutting through water with minimal resistance. Divers glide through the water with enhanced propulsion and reduced effort, leaving even marine life envious of their efficiency. This translates to decreased air consumption.

HOW ATOMIC SPLITFINS WORK
Conventional paddle fins operate by pushing water backward. In contrast, the SplitFin maneuvers through the water with dual wing-shaped surfaces, generating lift and forward propulsion akin to a propeller. Water flowing over the blade’s top is directed through the split between the wings, reducing drag, effort, and increasing efficiency. Atomic Split Fins utilize Propeller-Fin™ Technology to achieve high speeds through rapid flutter kicks within a small range, similar to how a boat propeller accelerates to higher speeds.
UNIQUELY ATOMIC PATENTED EXCLUSIVES
Split Fins make kicking incredibly easy. While they may feel deceptively effortless, rest assured you are moving just as swiftly as with traditional fins but with significantly less exertion. Optimizing performance, a smaller-range flutter kick is recommended, keeping legs within the body’s slipstream to minimize drag and enhance speed with less effort.
FEATURES
- Power Rails The resilient power rails act as the backbone of the splitfin, storing and releasing energy with each kick. Exclusive to Atomic Aquatics, this material maintains its resiliency and durability over time.
- Flex Patterns Semi-rigid battens within the soft elastomeric blade control the wing shape precisely for optimized thrust and reduced drag.
- Split Blade The blade deflects easily with minimal kick, forming two wings that cut through water with minimal drag, propelling forward movement.
- High Surface Ratio Blade The large surface area blade enhances pivoting, turning, and varied kicking techniques.
- Hinge Points Thin yet sturdy and flexible hinge points between the semi-rigid battens enable quick and efficient blade response to even the slightest kick.
- Anatomically Correct Foot Pocket Designed to fit the foot without pressure points, with a semi-open toe for added comfort.
- Power Plate Internal sole plate forms a rigid platform beneath the foot for enhanced power transfer to the blade while maintaining a soft, comfortable foot pocket.
- EZ-LOK Buckle System A patented buckle system design allows easy, one-handed buckle release from the fin. Reattachment is secure and straightforward. U.S. Patent #6,463,640.
HOW ATOMIC AQUATICS SPLITFINS WORK
SPLITFIN WINGS “SLICE” THROUGH THE WATER
Traditional paddle fins propel water rearward. As they move through the water, excess water spills over the blade’s surface, creating drag. The Atomic SplitFin, with its dual wing-shaped surfaces, generates lift and forward propulsion more efficiently, similar to a propeller. Water passing over the blade is directed through the split between the wings, reducing drag and effort while increasing efficiency.
PROPELLER-FIN™ TECHNOLOGY MOVES YOU FASTER
Atomic Aquatics Split Fins utilize Propeller-Fin Technology to achieve high speeds with rapid flutter kicks within a small range. This mimics the acceleration effect of a boat propeller ramping up to high speeds.
MULTI-COMPOSITE PLASTICS AND OTHER UNIQUELY ATOMIC FEATURES
Atomic’s signature materials are designed to enhance performance. Multi-composite plastics in the Split Fins maximize kick efficiency while reducing fatigue. The combination of flexible side rails, a stiff foot pocket, and rigid battens in the blade controls the flex pattern for peak performance. The patented EZ-LOK Buckle System is one of the distinctive Atomic features that divers appreciate.
