I purchased a pair of Mares Avanti Quattro Plus fins with the bungee straps about 2 years ago. Love the fins! They have about 60 dives on them and have been rinsed with fresh water and stored indoors between dive trips. A few days ago when I was putting on the fins for a dive off West Palm Beach, FL one of the bungees broke. There are no cracks or other obvious degradation of the rubber except for the brake. The bungee broke at the location where it goes through one of the heel loop holes. You could see that the bungee was constricted (smaller in diameter) at this location. Have others had this bungee brake problem or did I just get a defective bungee? Thanks,
