As we’ve already covered, the blades of the Aqualung Express ADJ’s are considerably shorter than that of many other fins.
This makes them highly manoeuvrable in tight spaces and also great for frog kicking and helicopter kicks.
Some divers actually prefer the feel of shorter fins which is another advantage of the Express ADJ’s if that’s you.
Short they may be, but powerful they still are. That’s because covering the blades is an ultra-elastic rubber membrane which accumulates energy on the downstroke and releases it at the end of each kick cycle.
There’s also rubber ribs on the side to help channel the water past the ribs and reduce drag.
Some reviewers have commented that the elasticated membrane actually makes these fins have extra positive buoyancy – just something to be aware of!
Ultimately these are powerful fins – however you do need to have some strength in your legs and diving experience to get the most out of them.
They’re not for complete beginners but also you don’t have to be a seasoned pro or have calf muscles of steel.
A decent level of fitness and diving experience will suffice to get the most out of these fins.
