Asia Divers Content Dive Shop – Products Fins Gara 2000 HF By Cressi Description The first fin in the world made by combining three different materials, a process that Cressi perfected and patented with this fin, which guarantees unsurpassable performance. The blade is made from a special, incredibly reactive polypropylene, which is at the same time extremely light, and progressively charges up during the stride to take off like a spring at the exact moment the stride is inverted. A soft elastomer anatomically wraps around the foot, blocking it with a comfortable bite, which guarantees perfect transmission of the leg-fin thrust. A suitably solid copolymer hardens some critical zones of the foot, and is extended along the sides in two lateral stringers, which go halfway along the blade. The function of these stringers, assisted by special raised bands on the bottom of the blade, is to regulate and harmonise the bending, at the same time protecting it from shocks and abrasions. The fins are extraordinarily light compared to equivalent models of rubber footed fins and reduces the inertial masses to the minimum, to the full advantage of the effortefficiency ratio. This fin is designed for deep skin-diving, although some Scuba professionals and instructors appreciate it a great deal. Price: $153 Gara Modular By Cressi Description An interchangeable blade which is very lightweight and reactive and also well-adapted for the most demanding of free-diving use. Thanks to its specifi c and exclusive design, it’s more propulsive when passing through the leg-kick, which gives an optimum return of the blade. The foot-pocket is very comfortable and comes in a composite material : soft rubber around the foot arch, and a rigid part along the sides and traction surface. It’s ample fi ttings easily allows it to be worn with diving socks. Price: $206 Pluma By Cressi Description Pluma is an extraordinary fin that makes the most of molding technology previously used only on the Cressi hi-tech models designed specifically for free diving and scuba diving. The Pluma uses the same Cressi patented construction system of molding three different materials to give high performance, extreme lightness, easy fining, and comfort. The blade is made from light and reactive polypropylene. The blade is very energetic and has snappy rebound. Two side supporting grooves and ribbing on the bottom of the blade allow progressive and controlled bending. The result is powerful, fluid and untiring kick. The foot pocket extends along the bottom of the blade to give protection during fining even in shallow water and near rocks. The foot pocket is made from soft thermo-rubber and the computer-designed shape offers great comfort as well as making the fins suitable for long use. The entire sole is made hard and comes with large non-slip inserts, for total protection of the foot and for excellent transmission of the leg-fin effort. Features: Three Material Molding Process Same Materials as Hi-Tec Cressi Fins Swift and Responsive Kick Fin Ultra-Soft Foot Pocket Material Blade Provides Outstanding Blade to Leg Energy Transfer Price: $46 ProStar By Cressi Description The Rondine Pro Star is a sleek, new design that, like the Frog, Space Frog and Pro Light positions the blade on top of the foot pocket for optimum performance. The foot pocket is made of a very soft material that comfortably wraps around your foot, eliminating any foot cramping that occurs in many fins. The blade is made of the same high performance material as the Space Frog and popular free diving Gara fin. Designed to be used for scuba as well as snorkeling, the Pro Star is the perfect choice for the recreational diver. This is a futuristic fin, deriving from the Cressi deep-sea skin-diving models, which introduces the use of more reactive materials. The blade is made of exceptionally light and reactive polypropylene. The blade material is combined with a comfortable thermo-rubber (elastomer) for the foot pocket, side stringers and for various inserts. The blade originates from the upper part of the foot pocket, with a 20% increase in useful surface area compared to a traditional fin of the same length. The side stringers extend along the blade, continuing in a protective seal around the whole blade edge. Two stabilizing flaps on the end of the blade and on the sole of the foot, guarantee excellent stability of the fin during kicking. The excellent, highly anatomic, computer-designed foot pocket, guarantees optimum transmission of leg-fin thrust. The resulting combination of materials is a formidable product that makes kicking easier and powerful at the same time. Pro Star model is one of the most powerful full-foot fins in the Cressi range, except for models specifically designed for deep-sea skin diving and is an excellent choice for snorkeling, skin-diving and Scuba divers Features: Lightweight, Reactive and Fluid Fining Blade Strong Polypropylene Material Soft Comfortable Computer Designed Elastomer Foot Pocket 20% Increase of Blade Surface Area Price: $70 Reaction Pro By Cressi Description Reaction is the most recent Cressi full foot fin which has been developed after the Rondine. The Reaction is an innovative fin in look and performance. The Reaction is molded using the exclusive and patented Cressi system with 3 materials. The three materials consist of a comfortable thermo-rubber (elastomer) anatomic, computerdesigned foot pocket. The foot pocket encompasses the foot assuring transmission of the leg-to-fin thrust without loss of energy, adding efficiency to the fining action. The second material is the revolutionary new dual density (techno polymer) polypropylene which forms the blade, and in conjunction with the third silicone based material creates a channeling effect. The channeling effect is the characteristic of the fin that enables a high level of energy to be transferred in both up and down strokes of the kick pattern. The blade originates from the upper part of the foot pocket, with a 20% increase in useful surface area compared to a traditional fin of the same length. The blade also has a differentiated thickness and gets thinner towards the edge to guarantee greater and more uniform bending. The side stringers are made from two different materials that alternate with each other and overlap in different zones to obtain a structure with controlled flexibility in the different areas of the blade. To all these excellent features, Reaction adds a new, longer, more flexible and lighter blade that provides excellent thrust with minimum muscle fatigue and the smallest expenditure of energy. Features: Combines Lightness, Thrust, Comfort and Durability Soft and Comfortable Foot Pocket Three-Material Patented Design Snap Blade for High Efficiency Shock and Abrasion Resistant Price: $88 Rondinella By Cressi Description All of Cressi's fifty-year experience has gone into these fins, which are a modern revival of the successful principles of the rubber Rondine fins. As with other Cressi Fins, the blade is positioned on top of the foot pocket for perfect blade alignment with your leg. The Rodinella utilizes a unique short blade made of a very durable and lightweight, yet resilient polypropylene material that optimizes performance and blade stability. During molding a soft, flexible thermo-rubber (elastomer), foot pocket is coalesced with the blade to form as one with the blade. This same thermo-plastic is used for the fin frames and for some inserts. This material extends from the foot pocket through the blade, along the sides and fin tips. This mix makes the Rondinella fins light and powerful: they are easy to use, not too demanding, and perform generously at the same time. Rondinella fins are perfect for snorkeling, free diving, and long swims. Features: Light Powerful Polypropylene Blade Ultra-Soft, Elastomer Comfortable Foot Pocket 50 Years of Cressi Experience Perfect for Snorkeling, Free Diving, and Long Swims Price: $38 Free Frog By Cressi Description A classic fullfoot version of the Frog fin in the Cressi range, this has been on the market for many years and has a huge number of appreciators in every corner of the planet and therefore returned 2011. The fin is made with a skilful combination of a strong copolymer and a soft elastomer, the latter used for the foot pocket, for the side stringers and for some inserts. The blade originates from the upper part of the foot pocket, with a 20% increase in useful surface area compared to a traditional fin of the same length. The foot pocket is computer designed and offers great comfort; it guarantees excellent transmission of the leg-fin thrust. The Frog is heavier than the more recently designed equivalent Cressi models. It is this feature that makes it agreeable to whoever uses very thick suits or watertight suits. Anyone who works underwater will appreciate this fin a great deal because it is strong and comfortable, very popular also in diving schools and excellent for rentals. Price: $70 Frog By Cressi Description The Cressi Frog Fin has been a classic in the Cressi range for many years and has a huge following from divers in every corner of the planet. The fin is skillfully made with a combination of a strong copolymer and a soft elastomer. This Composite design delivers efficiency when kicking and exceptional comfort. The blade originates from the upper part of the foot pocket, with a 20% increase in useful surface area compared to a traditional fin of the same length. A pair of mediumlarge Frog fins is about 8.5 inches wide by 25 inches long and is made of a Copolymer called ethylene-vinyl-acetate. Ethylene-vinyl-acetate is a state of the art plastic that has good memory. The materials memory allows the fin to snap back into its original position or angle without "going flat". This creates a comfortable gentle kicking fin that delivers nice power, without inducing leg cramps. Running nearly the fins outside blade length are raised, rubber-like ridges. A pair of smaller ribs runs down the fin's center. These stiff ribs channel water onto the fins blade. As water streams down the leg, it continues in a smooth transition across the length of the fin. There is no water hydroplaning or skidding on either the up or down stroke. No hydroplaning means better power and control for the diver. Each kick’s up and down stroke are power movements and drag is minimized. The Frog’s innovative computer designed footpocket further aids control and comfort. The pocket's top edge is lined with comfortably soft, curved, rubber-like techno-plastic. Its bottom portion extends back about four inches, giving support under all or most of your foot. When your foot is supported, more of the power from your leg and foot is transferred to the kick. The Frog is heavier Cressi model. A Heavier fin is more durable and useful for the working diver or instructors who demand strength and comfort. The Cressi Frog also works well when wearing a dry suit or thick cold water wet suit, very popular also in diving schools and excellent for rentals. It is easy to walk backwards or sideways in Frogs. Small bar-like treads on the bottom provide traction when standing on a slippery surface. The impact resistant plastic quick-release buckles are easy to operate, even with gloves; buckles have a sleek finish and reliably locking mechanism to lock the strap in place. They buckles rotate an impressive 300 degrees, so no matter how high your arch or how high your heel strap is worn, the buckle rotates for a non-crimped, perfect fit.

The three materials consist of a comfortable thermo-rubber (elastomer) foot pocket that extends up the side rails of the blade. The second material is the revolutionary new dual density (techno polymer) polypropylene which forms the blade, and in conjunction with the third silicone based material creates a channeling effect. The channeling effect is the characteristic of the fin that enables a high level of energy to be transferred in both up and down strokes of the kick pattern. The Master Frog’s blade with its unequalled reactivity has stringers and reinforcements that are molded from resistant copolymer. The rather long blade, deriving directly from the Gara 2000 model, makes it possible to get the most out of the flexible-propulsive power of the techno polymer material. The absence of side stringers in the final section of the blade makes it possible to side-slip the fin easily in the water, alternating strong strides with frog kicks to break up the strain and to allow fining indefinitely. The anatomically computer designed foot pocket guarantee perfect blockage of the foot and allows ideal transmission of the leg-fin thrusts. Master Frog is the thoroughbred of the Cressi range of open-heeled fins. Its power is unsurpassed and the fins are extremely lightweight. This light- weightiness reduces the inertial masses to the minimum allowing less resistance to acceleration when needed. This gives the full advantage of the effort-efficiency ratio. Fin is equipped with impact and corrosion resistant quick-release buckles with quality rubber straps. This fin is designed for Scuba professionals, instructors and technical divers who will appreciate its efficiency.

In actual fact, it has been designed for two specific needs. The first was to have a foot pocket that could easily adapt to at least three or four consecutive sizes so that the same fin could be used by all the members of a family, or by a group of friends or easily rented out in a diving centre or on a charter boat, without requiring an infinite number of sizes. The second need was that of guaranteeing extreme comfort and an easy fit even if this is a fin with a strap to be worn with bare feet. The result is a fin that is extraordinarily practical, that adapts to practically any foot and that allows for very quick fitting in any situation. The blade is made from a light yet responsive material that assures a kick that is fluid, effortless yet at the same time quite powerful. The strap has a strong ring on the upper part to allow reversal of the strap itself or to fix the fins to the body or the equipment. Palau is available in 5 sizes that cover shoe sizes from 32 to 47.
