We call the Avanti Quattro+ the Honda Accord of fins — they don't do anything spectacular, but they don't do anything wrong either. Think of it this way: a dive professional who works in a scuba store has to wear whatever brand their store carries. But independent instructors, divemasters, and underwater photographers — the ones with no brand loyalty required — consistently choose these fins when they can pick anything they want. That's the most honest endorsement in diving.
The Quattro+ uses Mares' signature Channel-Thrust blade, which bends during your kick to form a flexible channel. Instead of pushing water outward like traditional flat fins, it funnels water straight behind you — where propulsion actually matters. The result is less wasted energy and more speed per kick.
The pull-tab heel loop makes donning and doffing fast — no adjusting buckles underwater, and the strap stays flexible even in cold water. Once divers switch to bungee straps they never go back to traditional buckles.
Recreational divers, drift diving, liveaboard diving, underwater photographers, and anyone diving in current — including the Gulf of Mexico, Flower Garden Banks, Cozumel, and Bonaire.
We don't just sell these fins — we dive them. At OTA Diving, we put gear in the water in our in-house pool and on real open-water trips. We can tell you how the Quattro+ performs in surge, current, and liveaboard environments because we've been there. If you're unsure about sizing, reach out — we'll match you to the right size based on your boot thickness and kick style.
