Description
MARES Avanti Pure OH Fins – open-heel diving fins
MARES Avanti Pure OH are diving fins for those looking for a lightweight, comfortable design with an open foot pocket. This model belongs to the category of strap fins for dive boots, but thanks to the soft pocket and elastic strap, it also works well with soft neoprene socks or even barefoot.
In practice, this is a solution for divers who do not want overly stiff jet fin-style fins and prefer easier leg movement. This is especially important at the beginning, when fins that are too stiff can quickly tire the calves.
Key features of the MARES Avanti Pure OH
- Bi-material construction – combines comfort with the right amount of flex, so the kick is smooth and less tiring during longer swims.
- Open foot pocket – makes it easier to fit the fin to the foot and provides more freedom than traditional full-foot fins.
- Soft foot pocket – reduces pressure and improves comfort during longer swimming on the surface and underwater.
- Ergonomic heel cover – reduces pressure on the Achilles tendon, which is especially noticeable when frequently putting fins on and taking them off.
- Elastic straps – speed up gearing up and make adjustment easier without struggling with buckles.
- Strap guides – keep the strap in the correct position, so the pocket does not rotate on the foot while the fin is working.
MARES Avanti Pure OH Fins – who are they a good choice for?
MARES Avanti Pure OH are diving fins for those who value comfort and easier leg movement more than a very stiff feel. They are well suited for recreational scuba diving, warm-water trips, and situations where quick donning and foot comfort matter.
If you dive in neoprene dive boots, the size should be chosen for the specific model and thickness of the boot, not by guesswork. This is especially important with strap fins, because a foot pocket that is too tight or too loose quickly ruins comfort underwater.
