Comments about Mares Mares Quattro Excel Open Heel Fins:
Very high quality durable powerful fins. Must faster than my Oceanic split fins. Found fin clips convenient once you have mastered the fitting size.

Comments about Mares Mares Quattro Excel Open Heel Fins:
These fins are great. The stated cons, in my opinion, should be ignored. I have over 200 dives
with mine and they still look new. If you have touble getting them on and off it's because you need a different size, and make no mistake these are more expensive for a reason, they are not for beginners or snorkling. If you are a new diver I would recomend a more flexible fin with less power. If your looking for a great fin with a lot of power and very comfortable, then the only thing else you need is a set of springs to make donning and removing a sinch and you are set.

Another improvement by Mares, the aerodynamic shape really helps with the thrust of the fin, and the new abs plus buckle is really much easier to handle than the previous version. The colors are a little too flashy though!
Delivery was great and on time, as well as the product being in tact and customer service staff were friendly and quite well informed by simply asking one detail for order verification!

Awesome SCUBA fin, comfortable and super fast. Generates a lot of thrust underwater, but not suitable for surface swimming or snorkeling.
One of mine suffered blade separation in the enter of the blade after <20 dives and had to be replaced Makes me question the reliability of what is an expensive set of fins.
