fins recommendation

[DiveInstructorLife]

I have tried several different fins, and found the Mares Avanti-Quattro to be my favorite too... Recently found a pair for $89 new online

Wow, great price

Thank you everyone! I just bought a Mares just now

As suggested by Vladimir, get yourself some spring straps now. Safe diving.

I must admit that in over 50 years of diving I think I've only owned four different types of fins. Currently I use the Apollo Bio Fins with spring straps for local diving and US Divers (Aqualung) Blades when I travel (they are lighter and are a little better in currents).

I'm a novice diver, and want to buy my own fins - open heel type. Can you recommend some good ones? I've been reading and looking online. They're so overwhelming..
I don't plan on diving in strong current (since I'm a novice). I'm looking for something all-around that I can travel with. Thanks!

Just get some Mares Avanti Quattro fins and spring straps and be done with it. They are fairly light being thermoplastic and durable and reasonably powerful and can do any type of kick used in SCUBA. They are often priced very well also.

My wife in her Avanti fins, I have some too, she was just waving at me to tell me there is a ray in the sand:
