The Mares Avanti Pure is a lightweight open-heel fin built around comfort, making it a favourite choice for dive-centre rental fleets and divers who want an easy, fuss-free fin. The two-material construction keeps it soft and forgiving underfoot while still delivering a steady, even kick.

What sets the Pure apart is its foot pocket. You can wear it barefoot or with the matching Mares Pure booties, and the ergonomic heel pad takes pressure off the Achilles area so longer dives stay comfortable. For Indian recreational divers doing warm-water fun dives in Goa, the Andamans or overseas, that comfort matters when you are logging dive after dive.

The bungee heel strap rounds out the package. It stretches to fit, stays in place thanks to its bungee guides, and makes donning and doffing on a rocking boat far less of a struggle than a traditional buckle strap.
