Re: Omer Milleniums or sporasub polytechs?

the OMER Milleniums in green are comparable to the old style sporasubs (dassaults). I put them side-by-side and tested the flex on the blades. They feel the same. As most of you all know, the dassaults are probably the best all around freediving fin. I've add a pair for 4 years now and they have held up. Its a shame that sporasub discontinued its production.

My wife tried the new sporasubs but did not like them at all and neither did I. The polytecs have a blade that is glued into place so it is much stiffer and changes your stroke pattern. It feels more like a scuba fin.

In addition, at a recent divefit clinic my wife and I attended, Martin Stepanek highly recommends the dassaults (if you can still find them), or the OMER greens as a good second choice.
