Apollo Bio-Fin
Apollo Bio-Fins are the only split fins made from 100 % natural rubber material that enhances durability and strength for Military Operations. The Bio Fin has proved a superior design for both short and long distance water operations. Its capability covers all aspects of military operations such as MCT (Maritime Counter Terrorism), MTO (Maritime Tactical Operations), MCM (Mine Counter Measures) and UBDR (Underwater Battle Damage Repair).
Operators prefer to use the Bio-Fin Pro series because the natural rubber is negatively buoyant. The flexibility of rubber increases thrust and reduces the risk of surface splashing. If the operator is required to discard the fin it will sink to the bottom so as not to alert the target of the operator’s presence. The design of the fin makes it ideal for helicopter airdrops.
Apollo Bio-Fin Pro XT
The outstanding feature of the XT Fin is the power. You can use the XT to traverse strong currents or deploy boarding ladders etc. You are able to achieve this due to the 30% stiffer blade, which delivers the extra torque you require. This enables you to do tasks that other fins cannot cope with.
Being a 30% stiffer fin, the Apollo Bio Fin Pro XT has proved exceptional for both short and medium distance water operations.
This design produces the extra power required when an operator is carrying heavier loads, is in and out of inflatable boats (RHIBS) or for very fast shorter distance swims. Lower air consumption and fatigue reduction still apply.
