CRESSI Gara Modular Impulse Fins - 12/13

Excellent long fins for freediving. footpockets are very comfortable. I typically wear US 9.5 shoes for a near perfect, snug fit. I got the US 9/10 fins and they are a bit loose. They come with filler inserts and I use those but it's still not quit snug enough for optimal biomechanical thrust efficiency. I usually use wetsuit socks in addition to the inserts and it makes for a snug, cozy fit. They could be the teensiest bit more snug, just to squeeze maybe a single digit percent more thrust efficiency out of them, but i dive springs and I wayyyy prefer teensy bit loose to, too tight for wetsuit socks and or chafing/ fatigue from squeezing all dive session. Get these fins!!! You can upgrade them to carbon later!!!! The water rails likely help with thrust all that much more.

Great for several months of use maintaining our boat and for snorkeling. Will see if they hold up given time, but love them so far.

YouTuber videos are right that if you heavier 200lbs you might want to switch to a stiffer paddle. Workers really well and I'm 215lbs with very wide foot thats always been a problem and I was totally happy without the boot inserts. Only problem I had was trying to get under the first 15ft were I wish they had more snap. But worked great on leg fatigue swimming out from shore on the surface cruizing around until I saw something to dive down on. If I was on a boat dropping in then I like the fact I have the options with these of changing out my blades that are safer for shore dives for a stiffer more expensive carbon fiber or longer ones with less rusk of damage. Cool callout logos but they do scratch easily, but who really cares if they work and get you down.

Cressi really never disappoints. The fit on the foot pockets is perfect and the fins are great. Easy to dive with and they are perfect for beginners. If you are looking to start diving and want some beginner fins, these work well and will hold up. I think the price is right for plastic fins. If you go with other materials, expect to pay more.

Very strong buy it for my man he love everything about it.very comfortable and true to size

The good: The foot pockets feel amazing. Super thick, comfortable, but very light.The Bad: They run huge I wear an 11, and bought the 9/10. I had to return and may step down to 7/8.5. That is the size to wear with no sock. With a 3mm sock the 9/10 fit good, but still slighty wide in the toe. The insert may have fixed that, but I wanted a no sock fin so I returned them. The blade anfle looks interesting, but it is a standard plastic blade. Compared to my FG, I was not impressed:Overall: These are great fins. Order down one size to wear with a 3mm sock, go down two for no sock. The blades are fine, but if you have ever kicked FG or Carbon you'll be disappointed. For me the win is the pockets, so I'm going to get a pair and team them with some FG or carbon blades.
