Comments about Aqua Blue Reef Quick Release Fin Spring Strap - Recreational Diver, Black:

I've always had difficulty wearing my fins. You're always fully equipped before wearing fins but it is not always easy to wear fins with straps. You need to enlarge it first and then you should find the strap end and tighten it all bent down iwth lots ow weight on you. Also straps decay easily. Recently I was borrowing straps in every dive trip that I've joined because of easily broken straps.

but not anymore I've ordered this product. It fit like a glove when I've removed the original buckles. Once it came to wearing them I've never felt more comfortable thanks to the large loops. All you need to do is grab the loop and strain the spring so that it is behind your legs and leave it this is it. I don't know how could I survive all these years without it. I definitely recommend it to everyone.

Comments about Aqua Blue Reef Quick Release Fin Spring Strap - Recreational Diver, Black:

It is very easy to install. It comes complete with buckles and buckle shoes. Fit like charm to my old Aqualung fins. You need to order SMALL for LARGE fins. I've got head-up from some reviewers here. So be warned. It is great accessory I was sick of broken straps. They saved me lots of trouble.
Springs are hard and I generally keep them in the fins and afraid to lose them.

Comments about Aqua Blue Reef Quick Release Fin Spring Strap - Recreational Diver, Black:

Purchased for my teenage son who always seemed to struggle getting his fin straps loose to get on the boat. After installing the quick release fin straps to his fins the probem was solved. Fins go on and off without a problem, and the fins stayed secure throughout the dive.

Comments about Aqua Blue Reef Quick Release Fin Spring Strap - Recreational Diver, Black:

I love these spring fin straps for it is so easy to put in and take off the fins. You yank the spring, it is in, you yank the spring, it is off. Until I saw the rust on the metal coil (Yes, I ALWAYS rinsed them with fresh water after each dive). Less than a year, the metal spring broke in half cleanly. I have to admit that I yank spring hard to put in and take off the fins but the spring should not be broken in half.

Comments about Aqua Blue Reef Quick Release Fin Spring Strap - Recreational Diver, Black:

I used this with Cressi Frog M/L size fin (size 9 shoe). I ordered a small because I measured the strap length before I ordered as the heel of my foot bareley extends out from the heal of the Fin. It seems to work, not to tight (checked on a pool dive, will check in open water soon.

You may want to take measurements your existing fin strap length tightened aroudn your own foot before you order. Like I said I ordered a small and it works for me M/L fins.

Comments about Aqua Blue Reef Quick Release Fin Spring Strap - Recreational Diver, Black:

I purchased this item for my Mares Volo Power fins. The install was a bit tricky since you have to modify the straps to get them past the posts. Once on they are very secure and appear to be of good quality. The price can not be beat on this item either.

I have only tried them in the pool and will soon be in openwater with them. I can only comment with positive remarks on these straps, since they really make life much easier.

 
Quick Release Spring Straps

Bottom Line:

Comments about Aqua Blue Reef Quick Release Fin Spring Strap - Recreational Diver, Black:

A useful hybrid between regular fin straps and spring straps. The quick releases are still potential failure points for purists, but they do allow easier removing of the fins. There is also a very handy pull tab at the rear of the straps as an alternative for donning/doffing. The only negative is there is a tab inside the buckles that may have to be cut away to allow the straps to fit onto the posts of fins that don't have a notch in them.

Comments about Aqua Blue Reef Quick Release Fin Spring Strap - Recreational Diver, Black:

The product is very easy to use when puting on and taking off your fins before entering the water and for the exit. However, they are somewhat heavy and add weight to your fins. If you remove and loose a fin while in the water they sink rather quickly (I know, I have experience). The connections work well with fins that have the "button" style connections on the sides of the fins. Just snap the old straps off and put these in their place.

Service & Delivery comments:

I ordered these in a wrong size. I sent them back and they were exchanged quickly.

Comments about Aqua Blue Reef Quick Release Fin Spring Strap - Recreational Diver, Black:

This product makes it easy to get fins on and off when preparing to enter and leave the water. The springs hold tight and no adjustment is required. They will fit most all fins with a post style and clip strap connection on the sides. They easily clip on where the original straps connect.

Service & Delivery comments:

Delivery was very prompt. I ordered the wrong size and had to return for a smaller. Service was great and no problems with the return nor receipt of the replacement.

Comments about Aqua Blue Reef Quick Release Fin Spring Strap - Recreational Diver, Black:

It does what it says, easy to use. It fits my Oceanic Vortex 12, but you have to take off the female part of the clip that originally came with the fin, and replace with the ones that came with this fin. It took about 5 min to do the 2 fins.

Great strap replacement instead of the rubber. lasts much longer and gives the fin a stronger hold. The only problem is the springs are more stiff than expected.

Comments about Aqua Blue Reef Quick Release Fin Spring Strap - Recreational Diver, Black:

Made to fit most fins, as such there is little thought process to installing on your fin. I had to break a small plastic tab on the fins to install them.
Week on a liveaboard with ruff seas making it dificult getting back on the boat. Everyone strugled taking fins off, except the 3 of us who had these. Got to the ladder quickly got the fins off and up we went, minimizing the hits against the boat.
Even easier getting fins on.

Comments about Aqua Blue Reef Quick Release Fin Spring Strap - Recreational Diver, Black:

Okay, these straps seem to be fine with the exception that the quick release buckles do not interchange with the buckles on the Tusa Zoom fins I got at the same time. That forces you to switch buckles...take off the tusa's buckle(the female part that stays on the fin) and put on the ones that come with these straps. It would make life so much easier if they matched. It's a question of matching the design tolerances for buckles. Maybe the Tusa's are off, but the quick release buckle on these straps did not match my Oceanic Venture's either. But if you want to use these and not the rubber straps, they can be made to fit your fins with a little work...so, I guess I will recommend them anyway.
