The Palau Fin opens the way for a new type of snorkeling and swimming fin. It has been designed for two specific purposes. The first was to have a foot pocketthat could easily adapt to at least three or four consecutive foot sizes. This would enable the same fin to be used by all the members of a family, or by a group of friends. It would also make it great for rentals in a diving center or on a charter boat, without requiring an infinite number of sizes.
The second purpose was to guarantee extreme comfort and an ease of fit in a strapped open heel fin even if it is to be worn with bare feet. The result is a fin that is extraordinarily practical, that adapts to practically any foot size,and that allows for very quick fitting in any situation.
The blade is made from a lightweight, yet responsive material that assures a fluid and effortless kick, yet at the same time quite powerful. The strap has a strong ring on the upper part to allow reversal of the strap itself or to clip the fins to the body or equipment.
The Onda Mask is a single lens mask designed for snorkeling, swimming and scuba diving. The mask skirt is made from soft hypoallergenic transparent silicone with a double feathered edge that gives an excellent seal on many face types. Mask has an average internal volume.The masks single lens and unique shape of the frame provides a wide field of vision that extends in all directions. The mask strap is equipped with quick-release buckles.
The Gamma snorkel is particularly suitable for snorkeling and free-diving. The snorkel tube is shaped so that it remains close to the head and creates very little resistance when swimming or surface diving. The mouthpiece has an anatomical structure and a triple flex joint section that adapts to different face shapes. The snorkel allows natural and comfortable breathing, and the snorkel keeper is easy to adjust.
Gamma Snorkel has a semi-dry profiled guard that drastically reduces water entering the snorkel tube from splashing of wind and waves, without blocking thebreathing tube. An adjustable attachment system for quick-attachment to the maskstrap runs along the snorkel tube for perfect positioning. New drainage wellthis draws all the residual water to the bottom end of the tube, preventing blockage of breathing. Internal elliptical one-way valve optimizes water drainage, making it quick and easy to purge the snorkel clear.

Comments about Cressi Cressi Palau (LAF) Snorkeling Package:
poorly matched- the mask fits an adult but even XL fins are too small for any adult wearing booties (I am a male w/ size 7 foot and could not fit into fin except barefoot)
