The limited edition blue version of the popular Mares X-Stream fin has all the of the great and unique features of the originals but in a new white and blue colouring.

The X-Stream fins utilise a number of blade features including a flexible centre channel that flexes as you kick to cup and channel the water into a concentrated flow. Vents through the blade in key positions help to further control the flow and a hinged pivot point allow the blade to bend to the optimal angle to provide the best propulsion.

Vented foot pockets prevent a vacuum building up, allowing easy fin removal after the dive, aided by expanding adjustable buckle system. The buckles allows the the set the strap tightness and then forget about it, the expanding buckles can be released to give enough slack to easily remove your foot.

My class required a pair of fins, a snorkel, a mask, a weight belt, weights, and booties. I also bought a wetsuit.

Mask – $70
Fins – $70
Boots – $80
Suit – $160
Weight belt – $10
Weights – $50

I did buy better quality booties than required and probably bought too much weight as well. You WILL have to buy scuba-quality things; nothing pisses instructors off more than cheap gear, apparently At the very least, don’t skimp on the mask and fins. A snorkel is a snorkel is a snorkel; you totally get permission to buy that from Academy rather than the $30 ones the stores stock.

Other equipment (your buoyancy compensator, regulator assembly, tank, etc) could be deferred to a later purchase date.

Good luck and happy swimming
