Mares Avanti Superchannel Open-Heel Scuba Fins
The Dive360 Take
If you want a straightforward open-heel scuba fin, the Superchannel keeps the essentials in focus. Its three-channel blade directs water through the kick, and the bungee heel strap makes entry and removal simple.
We’d put it on the shortlist for recreational divers who want a practical fin for routine diving. The anatomical foot pocket is designed to work with your dive boots, so choose the combination together rather than treating the fin as a shoe.
Check the size guide against your boot size and thickness. Your current choices are the existing Small Black and Extra Large Blue or Yellow variants; the full guide helps explain the wider Mares size system.
