What can I say about the look of these scuba diving essentials? They’re impressively light weight rick out of the box, and there are a few telltale features that should mean you’re in for a dive that’s easy to control, and even easier to harness kick power throughout.
Super eye-catching and made from three distinct materials, these fins are light yet tough, and the foot pocket is riddled or perforated to allow for ease in getting dive boots on and off. This is a massive plus – no one likes that annoying sucking effect when you get out of the water!
There’s also a super channel that’s obvious to see from the Mares X on unboxing. A super channel is a central part to the fin that allows water to streamline down towards the blade tip. That’s only ever going to make your dives more precise and more powerful.
The blade construction is firm and striking – Mares is a huge name in the diving industry, and as such, I’d assume nothing more than fantastic results from Mares patents across the board. With these key features analysed, let’s take a look at the performance in practice.
