    Bang for the buck; a powerful fin for the fairly fit diver in challenging conditions. Not as much snap as a true long fin, but plenty of thrust when needed. Not for weak ankles though and they could cramp your calves if you didn't stretch and hydrate sufficiently. Great power transfer from very ergonomic foot pocket.

    I bought these to use as travel fins since they're a full 6" shorter than my freediving fins. The blade flexes too close to the tip so you can't get that nice sine-wave bend that makes a good ascent/descent fin. I imagine it would work fine for underwater hockey or SCUBA, especially when collecting or carrying a lot of gear.

    They run a full size larger than my Avanti HP's too so I had to wear neoprene socks. The heel tabs dig in to my Achilles so booties were a good thing. Mares build quality is top-notch as usual.

      Using for underwater hockey, very fast. They were one size to big. I am size 10.5 ordered 8-9 fits nice and tight.

          Comments about Mares Avanti Quattro Power Full Foot Long Blade Fins, Black:

          I noticed on most live-a-board trips I took, guides used a long or spear diving fin. Got this fin 3-years ago. Best dive gear investments made. Even with dive socks, it's less weight and bulk to carry compared to boots and open fins.

          It did cause a problem once when a dive took us onto a rocky island beach shore. Be aware of where your trip will be. 99% of the time, it has been worth it.

          Comments about Mares Avanti Quattro Power Full Foot Long Blade Fins, Black:

          I bought these for free dive photography and spearfishing. I needed free dive fins that I could travel pretty easy with. They are shorter than most free dive fins but longer and more powerful than rec dive fins. I wear a size 12 shoe and I bought the 9.5-10.5 sized fins. They fit pretty well but still feel a tad big on my feet. They are very comfortable.

            I use these for underwater hockey and notice a big difference in speed from the Mares Avanti HPs that I wore.
