Description of Mares X Stream Diving Bungee Regular

Riddled Foot Pocket: The perforations prevent stagnating water flow from slowing you down. Eliminating this “parachute effect” you’ll slide faster through the water. Furthermore the openings eliminate any suction effect, making doffing easier. OPB - Optimized Pivoting Blade: Allows the blade to maintain an optimal angle throughout the kicking cycle, whereas traditional fins achieve this only during a small portion of the cycle. OPB produces a constant thrust, which minimizes fatigue and produces fluid movement through the water. Channel Thrust: Soft longitudinal inserts allow a controlled deformation of the fin blade while kicking. This channel shape moves a greater amount of water resulting in more thrust for the same effort. Tri-Material Construction: 3 specific materials for maximum elasticity, high durability and resistance to aging. The result is superior performance in all diving conditions.

Incredible Bungee for Scuba Diving

The Mares X Stream Diving Bungee Regular is an outstanding product for scuba divers .Through trial and error, I found that the design of the bungee makes it easy to put on and take off, and the adjustable strap ensures a comfortable fit. The stretchy material is perfect for exerting minimal effort while diving. The only downside I experienced is getting used to the tightness around my feet but it did not affect my overall experience using the product..

Pros
  • Bungee strap system provides a comfortable and secure fit.
Cons
  • The bungee straps may wear out faster than traditional buckle straps, especially with heavy use.

Size matters! Go smaller.

Chart from Mares shows the 8 is regular for US males but it is quite large. With a three mil boot, your heel will barely sag at the back, and the toe will rise above the middle of the boot and dig into your skin. Then comes the shaking from side to side. They have been sent through DiveCatalog and I have had no problems with them so far. You seem to be doing a very good job. Just something about how Europeans treat male foot size as if we're bigger than we really are. You have to believe these…

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Zero
