Probably the best split-fin on the market today.
Apollo makes these out of an extremely durable, strong rubber that is very corrosion resistant. It's also formed in one piece, so there are no worries of little bits and parts falling off.
If you've never tried split-fins, they take physics plus some clues from fish to provide a much higher kick to power ratio. In English, that means each kick will give you much more distance. This makes swimming even more effortless, thus also lowering your air consumption.
The Pro series has a steel strap instead of the usual buckle, allowing you to slip into them with out using your hands - quite a feature.
I, myself, stay away from split-fins for the simple reason that scuba diving is lazy enough, thank you. Also, they do not provide as efficient thrust against cross-currents. However, if you do want to try a pair, you can't go wrong with these, except maybe the price - $200, but it's worth it.
