Apeks RK3 Fins

Donning and Doffing

Love the spring strap… no rust! When you are in a rush, they are great for getting on and off quickly.

Adjusting for Fit

There is none! First time you buy them you get your size, boots, and you never have to adjust after that! Downside? You absolutely HAVE to wear boots and may even have to buy new ones that actually fit the oversized foot hole; something a friend of mine had to do when she purchased hers.

Surface Swimming

Not the fastest for swimming with whale sharks or dolphins. I honestly thought they would have performed better.

Maneuverability

I am not a long fin fan. But for me, these are the perfect length. I can easily maneuver my way around coral and inside wrecks without having too much concern for touching anything I shouldn’t.

Material

Designed in collaboration with the US Military. After everything I have put these things through, there’s no signs of breaking, even at seemingly weak points. Not even on the spring strap connection points which I have never exactly been gentle with.

Expectations

They exceeded all my expectations. I thought the springs would rust or the straps would break somewhere at some point….. yet they still have not.

Value for Money

I would buy another pair in a heartbeat. They are one of the more expensive fins on the market, but you get what you pay for with these.
