DESCRIPTION

Whats in the box:Pair of Fins

The new Avanti Quattro + Non-Vented Fin exceed the established performance of the traditional model thanks to the use of new Composite Materials that Optimize Efficiency. The Avanti Quattro + provide Greater Responsiveness and Thrusting Power with an even more Attractive Look. New Bungee Straps are provided as Standard Issue. Straps are equipped with Large Grasp-Loops for Easy Donning and Doffing. Proven Channel Thrust Technology makes the Fin Versatile and ideal in all diving conditions.

The Stabilizers Improve Stability and Eliminating Ankle Twisting Phenomena. The Anatomical Foot Pocket conveys more Power to the Blade. Mares Design is inspired by Marine Mammals. Channel Thrust Technology Maximizes the Channeling of Water and moves a much greater amount of water compared to other fins of the same size. The result is greater Thrusting Power with the same amount of effort. Fin is available in sizes Small, Regular or X-Large and comes in Black, White, Blue, Lime or Flamingo colors.

Without question, the best fins I've owned in 16 years of diving. I recently switched to these fins while diving in Thailand. Due to strong current at some of the dive sites (Similans / Koh Bon / Richelieu Rock) I was struggling to kick through and spent a lot of time and air to do so with my Atomic fins. Between liveaboard trips I picked these up and they were an absolute dream. Effort reduced by 60-80%, resulting in longer and more relaxed dives when faced with moderate to strong current. Were also excellent for all other conditions, including difficult surface swims.

I have used these fins on approximately 50 dives. They are good mid grade fins except for the snapping strap feature. Frankly speaking the ABS (Adjustable Binding System), is a major pain in a particular rear facing body part. The snaps open very hard and if you are not wearing gloves you have a good chance of hurting yourself. I have noticed that they have been opening easier with time, which make me think this feature is wearing out. I cannot recommend these fins.

    Comments about Mares Avanti Quattro Open Heel Fins:

    With the snap open buckles, it makes getting in and out of boats quick and easy without having to readjusting how tight it fits. One thing extra that I love is that mares packages a replaceable strap/buckle combo to keep in your save a dive kit for quick swap.

          Comments about Mares Avanti Quattro Open Heel Fins:

          I've tried many fins... The seawing novas were too floppy, the jet fins were too heavy, the OMS slipstreams were too stiff... In the end I got these tried and true fins that allows me to use all finning styles effectively... They are no nonsense fins that get the job done... I put on a set of Atomic Universal spring straps and they are now my goto fins...

            I've been diving the Avanti Quattros for almost 20 years. Excellent control and power. Very comfortable fin. Quality build and materials. Of all the fins on the market, these are as good as it gets at any price.
