The Mares Volo scuba fin is a gigantic leap forward in fin technology. This fin is so revolutionary; it is covered by 8 different patents. Thanks to the mares Optimized Pivoting Blade system, the Volo is 30% more efficient than traditional fins. The Volo ABS delivers the performance of the new split fins without the fluff most people experience when swimming splits. The Mares Volo also allows you to use alternate kick strokes not possible with splits fins. The construction of this fin and the backing of Mares, one of the largest scuba companies in the world, combine to provide you the best scuba fin available. Try a pair of the Volo ABS Open Heel Dive Fins.

Comments about Mares Mares "Volo" Open Heel Fins:

Been using them for 150+ dives. With advantage of working at dive operator, I've tried and compared other makes and types; Volo Power is a good compromise among all aspects if you are not yet sure about your speial needs. These fins feature different flexibilities at differnet parts that respond differnetly to the effort you put in. Quite delicate. Use this feature well and they will make you happy. Like a sports car with auto-shift; Volo Power won't give you impressive 0-60 drag racing result, but will give you a pleasant ride on Autobaun.

Comments about Mares Mares "Volo" Open Heel Fins:

I had a pair of Volo's and I traded up to VOLO Power. I installed the Spring straps, the ones that come with the fins are too complicated and do not work that well.

I found that I had to change the way I swim, I have to kick more with my hips, keeping my leg straight, using my full leg. As opposed to kicking by bending my knees.
