MaresUnisex Adults Avanti TRE Diving Fins - Medium-Sized Durable Flippers with Closed Orthopedic Foot Pocket for Snorkelling & Recreational Diving in Warm Water

Update:11/29/2014 .. these babies have been around the world now. Palau, Saba and St. Kitts, the Maldives and Roaton, Honduras. Our next trip is to the Galapogos islands. They pack fine for me in my aqualung gear bags interior pockets. They are a bit scratched up but work fine. No problems or broken straps in over 100 dives.Original review:I haven't actually worn them yet as it's -35 below in Chicago. I'm planning on taking them on a trip next month. They came highly recommended by a fellow scuba club diver and are very similar to my full foot fins, which I love. I will upgrade after use if they are as good as my others but for now....I ordered the pale blue/grey and received the dark blue. I was really trying to get away from the all dark blue look. I'm keeping them because it's too much of a hassle to return them just for a color preference and the dark blue also had a much higher listing price. I'm not sure what happened with the color but since you requested this review ....here it is.

Mares quality is excellent. Arrived on time and in great condition.

I have been diving for 20 years and have dove all over the world. There are many reviews rating different fins. If you look closely, there is not a huge difference between the fastest and the middle of the road fins (full foot free dive fins are the best). Skipping free dive fins, I was looking for reasonable sized light weight fins. I have others, but I went back to my SECOND set of volo's. Yes they do wear out faster, but for travel, they are lighter and do decent in currents. My atomic fins are significantly heavier and these perform better with frog kicks and other non traditional kicks.These are excellent all around fins that are not oversized or over weight.

I bought these fins for a snorkeling excursion in the Dominican. They fit fine in my checked bag, and are fairly portable. They worked well for snorkeling. My husband wore a cheaper, off brand of fins and I was leaving him behind, even though he is a better swimmer. They were comfortable enough that I did not have any issues and no blisters. They are a little heavy to carry around all day, but I'm glad I bought these and not the small travel fins. I wanted fins that performed well in the water and I was not disappointed.

Muy útil 👍

Use it in local indoor pool, great resistance for calves, thighs and low back.

Size ran larger than I expected. Haven’t used it yet

Great fins for price and good propulsion. This is my third pair. I get about 8 to 10 years of use out of them with steady almost daily use from diving or swimming before I break one. I have freediving fins I use for Deepwater but these get a lot of use in the 30 foot and shallower range and do great.

Ich habe die Mares Flosse Plana Avanti TRE zum Schorcheln für unseren Malediven Urlaub gekauft und bin sehr zufrieden. Mit der längeren Flosse kann man sich flott fortbewegen und das gibt einem außerdem zusätzlich Sicherheit, wenn man z.B. wie uns passiert, von der Strömung abgetrieben wird. Die Flosse sitzt gut und drückt nicht. Allerdings würde ich empfehlen, eine Nummer kleiner wie die Schuhgröße zu nehmen. Von mir eine klare Kaufempfehlung.

I have used a lot of slipper fins and I am so glad I finally found these. Mares is a quality brand and these fins do not disappoint, well made with a seamless foot pocket making them comfortable to use and giving plenty of power

Oggetto veramente ben fatto ed a un prezzo veramente perfetto

Son buenas resistentes, duraderas, perfectas para apnea y la mejor marca del mundo en aletas

Marque Marès recommandée par un maître nageur formateur pour le BNSSA (diplôme de maître nageur - sauveteur).Très grandes et de bonne qualité mais attention aux doubles tailles !J'ai commandé un 44 pour mon fils qui fait du 43,5 / 44 et c'est bien trop grand.En fait, lorsqu'on commande du 44, on reçoit du 44/45.Donc je les ai retournées pour commander la taille en-dessous, du 43.Là, j'ai reçu du 42/43 et ça taille parfaitement bien !
