The Quattro Excel combines Superchannel Thrust and Elastic OPB technology to offer pure powerin all diving conditions. The strap features ABS Plus for one step quick and easy opening or closing.The anatomic foot pocket combined with the Whale Tail design improves sensitivity when kicking.
CHANNEL THRUSTMares design is inspired by marine mammals. Channel Thrust technology maximizes the channeling of water and moves a much greater amount of water compared to other fins of the same size. The result is greater thrusting power with the same amount of effort.
SUPERCHANNEL Latest development in Channel Thrust is the Superchannel. The blade is designed with a large flexible central Superchannel propelling water-flow more effi ciently down the fin blade instead of letting it spill over the sides for optimal performance and minimal diver effort.
WHALE TAIL POWERUnlike traditional styles that separate materials at the foot pocket resulting in a break in power transmission, a continuum of materials from the blade ensures seamless transmission of power through the entire kick cycle. From nature, for divers.
TRI-MATERIAL CONSTRUCTIONThree different materials are used in the construction of Mares fins for superior performance, maximum elasticity, high durability, and resistance to aging. The result is Pure Power in all diving conditions.
MAX COMFORTComfort is always one of the primary design elements in Mares equipment. Mares through superior technology continues to research, innovate and upgrade your level of comfort before and during your dive. Equipment marked with Max Comfort bring this quality of comfort to the most up-to-date premier pinnacle.
ABS PLUS BUCKLESUnique and patented design. It only takes one quick movement to easily open or close the buckle, even when wearing thick neoprene gloves. The double button release prevents the buckle from accidentally opening. The most user friendly in the market.
COLD WATERDesigning and engineering products for cold water diving requires maximum attention to performance, safety and technical details. Mares creates equipment specific for cold water and ice diving. Rigorous tests ensure top notch performance keeping you comfortable, warm and secure. Even the US Navy has conceded Mares to be the best equipment for extreme conditions.
FOR DEMANDING DIVERSThose who dive frequently and in difficult conditions need products featuring superior quality and consistent performance, time and time again. Mares has always focused on new technologies and innovative products that lead to concrete benefits: superior reliability and performance will be appreciated by the most experienced demanding divers.
OPEN FOOT POCKETErgonomically designed foot pocket delivers maximum power and evenly distributes pressure over the foot to minimize fatigue. Interior, features internal ribbing that improves fit eliminate foot suction and prevent foot pocket flexing. Transmits more power to the blade.
UPPER & LOWER STABILIZERSVertical ribs that anchor the blade through the kick cycle to eliminate side to side wobbling effect, keeping your kicks stable and reducing power loss. Eliminates ankle-twisting phenomena.
SHE DIVESThis gear line is designed specifi cally for women in style, cut, and ergonomics making your dives much more comfortable than in years past. Careful consideration to detail in functionality and aesthetic specifically for women make the She Dives collection the ideal choice for your Scuba and snorkeling needs.
Channel Trust Technology
When water spills over the sides of the blade, it reduces thrust, and decreases efficiency. Mares design was derived from observing marine mammals such as manatees in their natural environment. When swimming they bend their tail to form a channel, which optimizes thrust. When proper channelling occurs, all of the displaced water contributes to thrust. The "Channel Thrust" technology maximizes the channeling of water and moves a much greater amount of water compared to other fins of the same size. The result is greater thrusting power with the same amount of effort. Mares latest development in "Channel Thrust" technology is the new "Superchannel" design. "Superchannel" further increases the high performance level of Mares fins.
O.P.B. - optimized pivoting blade
During the kick cycle the structure of traditional fins creates a limit to the angle of which the blade can flex. This limit allows only a small part of the fin blade to push water in the direction of the kick, while the remaining part pushes the water in the opposite direction, reducing the diver's forward thrust. The O.P.B. system patented by Mares causes the blade to flex at an optimal angle during both the upward and downward strokes. This optimal angle allows the majority of the blade to push a larger volume of water in the proper direction and greatly increase efficiency. All of the diver's kicking effort translates into positive thrust. Traditional fins produce lower levels of thrust at different points in the kicking cycle with substantial differences between the maximum and minimum values. The O.P.B. system produces optimal thrust throughout every phase of the kicking cycle, which minimizes fatigue and produces a more fluid movement through the water.
