Apeks RK3 Fins

Description

Compact, and ultra-rugged for use in harsh environments. Vented blade design reduces resistance on the upstroke and enhances thrust on the downstroke. APEKS didn't give the RK3 fin a shoe size range as this can be very misleading. The design has been the standard gear issue fin for military, special ops, coast guard and public safety divers for decades. Simple push pin design allows simple replacement of springs if necessary. The vents also eliminate vortexes that can occur along the back of the blade much in the same way split fins eliminate the vortex. The blade material designed to hold up in the toughest environments, temperatures and abuse. The environment that an RK3 is used in will tend to dictate the size of fin that you need, for example do you dive in a warm environment wearing wetsuit boots, or are you walking across pebbled beaches and wearing a dry suit and rigid dry boots? Short wide blade provides maximum forward thrust while maintaining great maneuverability. Two large grommet holes designed to fit most carabiners for easy storage of the fins while accessing the dive site. Fins are black or white in color. Improved foot pocket with spring straps for ease of use with cold hands or thick gloves. Based on one of the first vented rubber fins sold in North America and popular among military and professional divers. Spring straps as standard, and custom designed buckle holds spring straps in optimum position.
