Want to try them out!

Aqua Lung Slingshot
           Today I would like to introduce you to advanced engineering fins
    
Aqua Lung Slingshot
     The Slingshot  will make diving more comfortable, efficient and fun. Its innovations include Power bands, Gear Shift Shift and mid-foot Flex Joints that all add up to provide a wonderful diving experience.

     Power Bands:
- Pure silicone Power Bands are loaded with energy on the power stroke. They release their energy prior to the upstroke to provide an added boost of power.
- Instead of wasting your energy, you accumulate it and reclaim it!
- Power bands lessen fatigue and add thrust.

     Gear Shift
- 3-speed Gear Shift customizes your speed to effort ratio to fit the specific conditions of your dive.
- Three different setting are available.
- Easy to shift during the dive, even with gloves.

     Mid-foot Flex Joint
- The blade is attached to the foot pocket using two Mid-foot Flex Joint.
- This takes the strain off of the toes and the top of the ankle. The result is a dramatic improvement in comfort.
- You can now use the entire foot to power the fin rather than just the front half of the foot.
- Provides the blade a significantly larger range of motion, often up to 5 times that of a conventional fun.

     To test fins, sit down and raise the fins up and down while wearing them. This will help test the fit. In an ideal world, you would be able to test your fins in water, but generally, testing them in the air is a good start. Fins have to be stiff enough to provide good thrust, but flexible enough to not wear out the leg muscles too quickly. The main point to remember when purchasing your own scuba fins is comfort. If you are uncomfortable or awkward in a pair of fins, they aren't going to work for you as intended.
