Palau opens the way for a new type of snorkeling and swimming fin. In actual fact, it has been designed for two specific needs.

The first was to have a foot pocket that could easily adapt to at least three or four consecutive sizes so that the same fin could be used by all the members of a family, or by a group of friends, without requiring an infinite number of sizes.

The second need was that of guaranteeing extreme comfort and an easy fit even if this is a fin with a strap to be worn with bare feet.

The result is a fin that is extraordinarily practical, that adapts to practically any foot and that allows for very quick fitting in any situation. 

The blade is made from a light yet responsive material that assures a kick that is fluid, effortless yet at the same time quite powerful.

The strap has a strong ring on the upper part to allow reversal of the strap itself or to fix the fins to the body or the equipment.

Cressi’s most technically advanced fin, the Reaction uses a completely new polypropylene blade material that is more reactive, flexible and trim than previous designs. It kicks easily yet powerfully and is suitable for divers of every experience level. The new, longer blade efficiently transfers energy from the computer-designed foot pocket, and like other Cressi fins, the blade extends from the top of the foot pocket to maximize its effective surface area for more thrust. Other innovations include new locking strap buckles and no-slip material for better traction out of the water.

NEW EBS STRAP

Cressi has developed this special strap to meet the needs of the most demanding divers, who need a comfortable fastening for their foot but one that is still practical and manageable. Its special amply sized slot makes it very easy to put on, even when wearing thick gloves or three-fingered gloves for winter water. The wrapping section is highly flexible, making adjustments unnecessary, and as a result it’s much easier to get all your equipment right in the first few meters of your descent and the fin stays in place against your foot despite the increase in hydrostatic pressure.

Closed-foot version of the Reaction fins, the buckle-up version has met with full approval from divers.

The frame is moulded in three different materials, according to the Cressi patented system that guarantees surprisingly smooth and powerful kicking.

The blade is rather long, and has a differentiated thickness – thicker at the front end of the foot, it gets progressively thinner towards the end of the blade.

The wide-soled foot is very comfortable and outstandingly enveloping thanks to the extensive use of elastomers.

The soles are completely covered in thermo-rubber to give them an excellent grip on boat decks.

These fins have been designed not just for swimming and free-diving, but also for scuba diving, where they will surprise you with their fantastic performance.
