I have owned a pair of these fins for several years and they have served me well for over 80 dives. They were bought as a spare pair incase of emergencies such as trainees forgetting there own ones ect. however I have ended up using them rather alot myself. I have found them to be very comfortable and not had cramp whilst wearing them like some fins seem to cause.

The clasps have a lock on the side of them to prevent them from coming undone I have found this quite fiddly to do, even more so after a mid winter dive with numb fingers. The locks always seem to get knocked and by the end of a dive your never really sure what position they are in as it is not clearly marked, and as the lever part of the clasp is stiff in either position you an end up trying to wrench it open when in the locked position, so would recommend changing them for the more user friendly pinch type clasp.

The fins produce ample thust comparable with the more expensive avanti quatro

A resonably priced fin if you can put up with the lockin clasp.
