Mares Avanti X3

[mrmccoy]

just wondering if anyone is using these? I picked up a used pair cheap! It will be about 2 weeks before I will be able to give them a spin. I'm guessing they won't be anything special just a basic set of fins.....

Thats what I've been using for last 3 years, they work great for me. I have no complaints.

That is what my wife and I have... but we've only used them for our pool and open water check out dives so far.

I've never used anything else other than some rental fins in St. Lucia and cheapy snorkle fins growing up on a lake, so my experience is limited - but they get the job done! I did get some shin/calf cramping during our open water dives, but that may be more a function of the 46 degree water rather than the fins.

Thats what i'm thinking just a basic set of fins. some reviews i found were mostly positive. They should be here by the end of the week then one more week to my OW class!
