Mares Superchannel Full Foot Scuba Fins

Product Description

The Superchannel Fins by Mares have been awarded both the testers choice award and the best buy award in 2007 by Scuba Diving Magazine. The features of this fin are the channel thrust technology, superchannel technology, thermoplastic rubber/tecralene and upper and lower stabilizers. 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. Latest development in channel thrust is the superchannel.

The blade is designed with a large flexible central superchannel that propels water flow more efficiently down the fin blade instead of letting it spill over the sides for optimal performance and minimal diver effort. The thermoplastic rubber/trecralene allow for a comfortable fit eliminating the need for protection against blisters. Upper and lower stabilizers are vertical ribs that anchor the blade through the kick cycle to eliminate side to side wobbling effect, keeping your kicks stable and reducing power loss.

Details:

  • New blade design with a large central Superchannel and two traditional lateral channels
  • Provides excellent thrust while maintaining hi-efficiency to reduce leg fatigue
  • Foot pocket is molded for maximum comfort
  • Channel Thrust Technology system for optimal water channeling
  • Color: Blue, Red, or Yellow
  • Sizes: 3.5 - 13

5.0 out of 5 stars Good All Around Fins!, January 16, 2012

I am not a regular scuba diver and I rarely use fins. However, I was going diving long enough to justify a purchase as I live close to the ocean and it ended up costing me less money to buy my own gear rather than rent from the dive shops. These fins closely resembled the dive shops rentals and performed great.

Based on reviews, I think these are solid all around fins. The brand is a well respected brand name in the diving community. The closed foot seems to be a regular option in the lower end or more reasonable fins. I look forward to wearing these this summer and just messing around at the beach with them.

The one thing I would mention is that sizing is really stupid with fins. I regularly wear a 9 or 9.5 in US mens shoe sizes. I wear New Balances and sport a 9. I purchased the 6.7/7.5 fin and they fit great. If I dove with booties, I might have gotten a size bigger, but if you are going el natural, then that is what I got and it fits excellent. If...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fins for snorkeling and swimming, July 19, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
I have had a similar pair of this fins for 15 years and needed to buy another pair since the back of one of my old fins was cracking at the heel. I used these in Hawaii snorkeling and swimming freestyle and breaststroke in a lake where I live. I swim 1-1/2 miles a day, sometimes 2 miles. Good propulsion and comfort. Very happy with my purchase - can't go wrong with Mares.
