Questions & Answers
Joe Diver America is correct, and as the others have stated, it all depends on how thick your dive boots are. I'm a true 15 men's shoe size; These XL fins are a good fit for my 2mm boot. Because a spacer is included, you could loosen the straps a little, but they're fine for me without it.
All of my fins are black. There is no white to be found. The mare's sign down the center, on the other hand, washed away very easily after only a few uses. I, on the other hand, am a scuba diver who dives several times a day, every day.
I wear a size 11 shoe and the large fins are perfect for me; I hope this information is helpful.
Hello, and thank you for contacting me with your inquiry. The large fin is a good option if your boot is unusually thick. br>br>Cizonbr>Online Scuba on Amazonbr>1. br>br>Happy Diving,br>Cizonbr>Online Scuba on Amazonbr>2. 702 897 1 or 5111 866 728 2293
Selected User Reviews For Mares Avanti Quattro Plus Open Heel Bungee Strap Fin
These fins are fantastic. Produce a lot of power, but you'll be a little more tired than you would be with other types of fins. If you're worried about cramping or if you don't think you'll have the strength, hinged or split fins might be a better option. However, if you're willing to put in the effort and believe your body is capable of handling it, these offer excellent efficiency returns. These are the fastest fins I've tried in preparation for the 800M snorkel portion of the divemaster exam. Tusa split fins, Scuba Pro Seawing Nova fins, and Hollis F1 fins have all been put to the test. These are the most agile of the group. The Novas, in my opinion, do a better job of providing good thrust while reducing fatigue. If thrust and speed are your priorities, however, these are the best options. These fins, on the other hand, do a decent job with alternative kicks, but not as well as the Hollis F1. The F1's, on the other hand, will tire you out even more than the Quattro Plus. So, if you're looking for a flutter kick with enough speed and low effort, the Novas are a great choice. If you want to be able to do a variety of kicks while maintaining good speed, these are a great choice; however, if you want ultimate flexibility and a little more physical effort while sacrificing some speed efficiency, the F1 fins are a great choice. All of these are excellent choices in their own right; it all depends on the individual's priorities and diving requirements.
Tec, NO. OPEN WATER FIN OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY. However, there are a few drawbacks to using it in a more technical setting: They're enormous. br>br> Divers who are too close together, as well as the nearby reef or floor, will be found. In tight spaces, it's also not easy to turn around. When sitting on a bench on the top deck, you'll most likely be the one sticking out the farthest. It is also difficult to transport and stow. br>br>* They are extremely adaptable. That translates to FANTASTIC scissor kick performance and acceptable frog or flutter kick performance. Unfortunately, this reduces their stability when performing helicopter turns or backfins. br>br>Now, keep in mind that these aren't exactly complaints. These are very high-quality fins that, in the right situation, are an excellent choice; just be sure you know what you're going to do with them. They're fantastic if you plan on doing open water recreational diving with traditional finning strokes. However, if you plan on doing penetration, tec, or rescue, I'd recommend going with a shorter, stiffer fin.
This is all you'll require. These fins are ideal; they aren't flashy or high-tech, but they do the job perfectly. I've had a few different pairs of fins in the past. Some are split, some are vented, and some are made with "new technologies and materials. " It's over. There's a reason why these are the go-to choice for instructors in the industry. They have everything you require and none of the things you do not. I felt so much better in these in some wicked currents in Komodo than I ever have with any other fins I've used before. The bungee strap is far superior to the Scubapro spring straps and appears to be far less likely to break. Pro tip. White ones can be used to white balance your camera, which is a nice bonus. cheers.
Swimming in the current is simple, or you can just float along on a drift dive, frog kick, flutter kick, or whatever. I'm a size 9 in women's clothing. I originally ordered a size medium, but they felt loose, and one even slipped off my foot mid-dive, so I exchanged them for a size small, and I've been very happy with them. I pair them with Mares boots, which are extremely comfortable. The only complaint is that getting off gracefully with one hand while holding a tag line with the other can be difficult; the boot can get wedged in pretty well and require some extra wiggling to get off.
I'd been waiting to buy these for years, but I put it off because I already had a pair (H2Odyssey Thruster) that I liked for a third of the price, but they became hard to come by for a while, so I went ahead and bought them. I swim laps to stay in shape during the spring, summer, and fall. When I first kicked with these, I was taken aback because they were extremely difficult to down kick with, which I couldn't understand at first because they were the same length and width as my other fins. After further investigation and video confirmation, I discovered that they rise higher and closer to the surface (due to stiffness or buoyancy), whereas my other fins stay 4 to 5 inches below the surface. They're fine for kicking at depth or on your back, but they make long prone surface kicks very difficult, as another buyer pointed out. I cannot recommend them due to this issue.
10 1/2. My feet fit completely inside, with only a small portion of my heel protruding. It doesn't have a tight fit. Although the bungee straps are not adjustable, they are comfortable to wear. When you wear booties, it will fit better. In the width, there is a small void. With a 2, on the other hand, 0mm or 3. With a 0mm booty, the gap will be greatly reduced. I would not have been able to get the correct fit if it hadn't been for the Amazon contributors sharing information on this product. THANK YOU! I'll update this post once I've put these to the test in open water, and please note that these fins are made of rubber rather than plastic.
I am a men's size 7 in the United States. In general, a five. I chose a size 7 Mares Flex DS 5mm boot and a size small fin based on the chart rather than going up a size to fit the boot. Just fit! When the boot is slid into place, it leaves a one-inch gap. When you put your foot in the boot, it hits the sides of the cup just enough to qualify as a snug fit towards the ankle while still giving you room to move your toes around in the box. It would have been sloppy and loose if I had switched to a regular. If the strap on your fins feels too tight, you can use the strap extenders that came with it. If you have thick boots or a very wide foot, this is not the shoe for you. Stick to the tried and true. An aside. I got a couple of returns, for sure. They're in great shape, so I'm not upset, and I understand why people would try them on and then return them. The people who buy things. Please be courteous and return the parts to the small baggie, do not tear up the warranty and information cards, and do not steal the sticker!.
