## Description

You are fully suited up and are ready to make a giant stride entry off the back of the boat in "Saint Somewhere". As you put your fins on to start your dive your fin strap or buckle breaks! Don't ruin a vacation because you don't have extra fin straps in your save-a-dive-kit. There are several items that are essential when putting together a save-a-dive-kit. Cylinder valve O-rings, mask straps, buckles etc., one of the most important items is the spare fin strap. Don't let a bad fin strap be the causes of an aborted dive, always carry a spare. Mares has designed the ABS Plus buckle to improve the release system by increasing the fastening safety. If pressure is applied from only one side, the buckle will not release, or will release only with great difficulty. Both buttons must be pressed at the same time to open the buckle. This new system also makes it easier to use, by reducing the effort required for both opening and closing of the buckle. ABS Plus Buckles is a single strap with two buckles.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: $16.95 for one fin strap or $37.95 for two fin straps ... why is it more per fin to buy two? Doesn't make sense. If I buy two "one strap" it's $34.**
A: I don't know how they priced them but it's not worth buying them because they will break again....Soon. Bungee straps are much better.

**Q: Will it fit Mares Avanti Pure open heel fins?**
A: It is not combatable with the Mares Avanti Pure Open Heel Fins

**Q: Will this strap work on a Mares Avanti Plus fin and is the strap adjustable?**
A: The strap is adjustable. I’m not familiar the the Avanti Plus fin but they work on my Dacor Tiger Pivot fins. I hope this helps you.

**Q: Will these fit Decor fins?**
A: No not usually.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Read before buying, this is for one, not two. Good product though!
*by J***0 on January 17, 2015*

First right off the bat, the way this listing is posted is very deceiving. It lists it as a "SET" and says in the description "PAIR" when I got mine I was surprised to find only one strap in the box. In the QA area there are a couple of yes and no's as to there being one or two straps and the yes was from a seller so I went with that one figuring they sell the stuff, they should know. I needed one for a trip right away so I didn't have time to wait for a email back to order them so I didn't ask them directly. I figured if they came in a pair I could save the other just in case for my backup kit for dives. After contacting the seller after I got back home they stated that they were working with the manufacturer to get the listing changed but it was correct to only receive one. Now to the device itself, it works very well and snaps on easily. The strap is slightly different than my old ones, they had a slide switch in the middle of the buckle to lock them in place, these have a top and button tab to push. I actually like these ones better, the slide could be a pain here and there if any sand got into the mechanism. Overall though the strap itself is a great replacement and works just fine. Only issue is thinking I was getting a pair and I didn't. Online I could have went directly to a few websites for dive supplies and gotten them for $8 or more cheaper and here and there free shipping so I could have gotten 2 pair through someone else for a couple bucks more. Hence marking this down a star.
