For Sale Mares Avanti Quattro+ Fins Flamingo Red

[vemura]

Size S.

Used only once, pre-loved. Excellent condition. Flamingo red is very nice. It was a specific red researched by Mares to be able to be seen brightly under water. Stands out beautifully.

Letting go because I’ve got another pair (I use jet fins).

Fins are USD160.

As I ship from Asia, you'll be bearing the cost of shipping to your address, but I don't charge a flat fee (which might run over the actual shipping cost). You'll pay for the shipping cost which will be in SGD, and you can do the transfer through paypal.

Are they that expensive over there in Singapore $160 US = $214 Sing D used ?
Bought a new pair here $199 AU = $137.25 US.
Postage would be cruel to here or the US.
Good fins thought.
My 2 bubbles.

Yes, they are. They're SGD240 at brand new.

I know shipping is quite a cost. I've shipped something extremely heavy (it was a box of a few award plaques for someone) to the US at the cheapest rate, it was about SGD 40 to give an estimate.

Not really expecting a bite from here since the US market is huge itself, but just posting in case it suits someone.

Agree! Awesome pair of fins. I really love the colour. There are very few that are red underwater.

I love these fins and own two pair in black and green. Dumb question: wouldn't these red ones pretty quickly end up looking dark/black underwater?

I don't know about the Quattros, but I won a pair of fins at a treasure hunt a while back that were red. The one time I used them, at depth, they looked pink. But that's bnot why I didn't use them again, I already had Quattros which I love. I just wanted to try the ones I won.

They stay red. Color faces fades without light so I guess in crystal clear tropical waters they will lose their brilliance but with any light they'll be red again.

On shallow dives around 20m, when I checked, they still looked nice. The blue Mares fins also are very nice underwater because they look vibrant and rich. It's the same with the Flamingo red - it's somewhere between red to pink, a little fluorescent.

No question is dumb, by the way. I'd hate to see someone get ripped apart on scuba forums. I am myself afraid of it happening to me.

So why does my blood look like oil underwater

Yeah, I was thinking the same. I scraped my leg a couple of years ago and it looked like I was leaking oil.

That's interesting. My blood looked green underwater. It was amazing!
