The Mares Power Plana Tech Fins with Bungee Straps are considered by many to be an ultimate fin for technical, wreck and cave divers. They come standard with the Mares Bungee Straps to make them very easy to donn and doff, plus great value for money. This type of fin is ideal for technical divers due to their high performance regardless of kick type but are equally at home on the foot of any recreational diver.
1 kg lighter than the competition.
These fins are nearly one kilogram lighter than the equivalent Scubapro Jet Fins and Hollis F1 Fins. While negatively buoyant, they do not weigh your feet down either.
Made of high-quality natural rubber these fins are incredibly strong and nearly indestructible. The high-density material makes the fins only slightly negatively buoyant — a highly desired feature when using a dry suit and a tech rig with a steel plate. This is a welcome benefit for drysuit divers to help prevent the feet from becoming positively buoyant and help to maintain balance and trim.
The patented Mares Bungee Strap is the best solution for both comfort during the dive and donning/doffing. The bungee strap is made from the same strong material as the Mares speargun slings which makes them stretchy but very strong and long-lasting. A large heel pad with a grip loop makes the fins easy to get on and off. The fins are also supplied with a strap extension piece that lengthens the bungee straps by approximately 15 mm if needed.
Unlike competitors' fins, the Mares Power Plana Rubber Fin offers a full-shape foot pocket that comfortably accommodates oversize wetsuit and drysuit boots. The foot pockets are large and full length making the fin comfortable to wear and ensuring a good power transfer to the blade.
The high performing Mares Power Plana Fins are ideal for all kinds of kicks. They deliver better trim positioning with maximum thrust on the down kick and minimal resistance on the up kick. Technical divers will appreciate this fin's manoeuvrability.
This heavy-duty fin has a broad blade that's flanked by substantial side rails. Where the rails are thickest, the blade is stiff, while near the tip, it's flexible. The result is a fin that delivers lots of power and thrust when a diver needs it.
