    Mares Turbo Plana

    Has anyone has tried the new Mares Turbo Plana. Looks to me to be something Mares is using o tap into the tech diving community (falling into the same category as SP Jets and etc.). I am interest to know how they compare to the Jets (which has been my only love all these years).

    The red ones are cool looking

    The way is to the destructive element submit yourself,
    and with the exertions of your hands and feet in the water
    make the deep, deep sea keep you up...

    It looks like they are only available in the Asian markets according to their website. Haven't seen anybody in Europe or the States dive them.

    Stylish!!!!!


    The Mares rubber fin

    • ABS Plus buckles
    • Easy to maneuver
    • Mares design

    Turbo Plana is made in heavy duty rubber. This dense rubber provides negative buoyancy and is ideal to keep the right trim not only in technical- or drysuit- but also regular dives. Easy to kick in traditional and frog-kick style, reliable and resistant. Assembled with Mares ABS Plus buckles and equipped with a dedicated soft rubber strap made in the same color of the blade.

    Dedicated to the Asian market.
    Not available in all countries

    Interested in these fins myself... I find my seawing novas are too floppy and the jet fins too heavy... These look like a good middle ground...
