    I have owned these fins for well over a year now and have used them in the pool with students, at the lake, in the river, in the Cenotes and Cozumel. I love these fins. They have performed well for me and I get plenty of power. I've used them to fight the currents in the river and to swim upcurrent on various sites of Palancar reef. I'm about 215 lbs and they move me easily through the water. I get good response with a flutter kick or a frog kick. I would definitely buy these fins again if I needed a new pair.

    I would recommend this product for someone that was going to dive in low current conditions. I have taken these fins on about 7 dives so far and they are a comfortable fit. In current conditions, these fins are decent at best, In the few conditions where current was a problem these fins felt like they lacked power to escape the current, but in calm conditions they provide a calm cruise.

      Comments about Aeris Mako Fins:

      Great lightweight fins for travel. I dove these for a month in the South Seas recently. There were versatile; they frog, flutter and thrust kick well and they are very maneuverable.

      Diving muck, I had to remember to frog kick because a straigt light kick with the Makos stirred up the silt 6 or more feet behind me, to the chagrin of my dive mates who were diving knobby short fins.

      My only complaint was that the male part of the strap attachment cracked early on. I suspect somebody stepped on the fins on the floor of the boat. Electrical tape took care of this. But I have Liberators with the same type of attachements (they are interchangable, in fact) and they never cracked. Not a big deal, but remember to travel with a spare.

      These are a little lighter and kick better than the Liberators, and they stay on my feet--I always had problems kicking my Liberators off in the water, maybe because the Liberators are very stiff. Makos are neither stiff nor floppy, but a happy compromise. They do require a bit of experimentation for optimum performance.

      The foot pocket is a little wide at the toe, which may cause discomfort if your toes slide in the boot during a kick. I thought this might be a problem, but I kept the fin straps tight and didn't end up with blisters like some my dive mates did after 50 or 60 dives.

      Giving them a 4, due to the broken strap socket.

        Comments about Aeris Mako Fins:

        I bought 2 pairs of these fins for my teenage daughters. They have boots to wear with the fins. Even with boots on, their feet would slide around inside the fin pockets. I am returning them to find better fitting fins. We went to a nearby dive shop where the girls could try fins on to get a good fit and were satisfied with what we purchased there.

        Very light weight and have lots of power. I wear a men's size 9, so I chose the small. It fits perfect. Size 10 or larger will new a med.
        I use these fins for both snorkel and scuba. They fit perfect in the "Blue Reef Snorkel Backpack Bag' along with my booties, mask and snorkel. Great fins for the price.
