From the manufacturer
Cressi, since 1946.
Cressi was founded in 1946 as a diving company rich in innovation, design, development, manufacturing. An entirely family-owned and operated Italian brand, Cressi is one of the first companies to develop innovative equipment for watersports. Over 70 years later, the commitment to innovation is still in the company’s DNA. The passion that stimulated the founders to begin their adventure is still present and, combined with the advanced technology, results in the best and most reliable products!
PALAU SAF
The Palau short adjustable fin (SAF) opens the way for a new type of snorkeling and swimming fin.
It has been designed for two specific purposes. The first was to have a foot pocket that could easily adapt to at least three or four consecutive foot sizes. This would enable the same fin to be used by all the members of a family, or by a group of friends. The second purpose was to give extreme comfort and an ease of fit in a strapped open heel fin even if it is to be worn barefoot.
- Multi-sized fins, ideal for sharing among family and friends or for rental departments. Designed for snorkeling, scuba diving, long swims.
- Short lightweight and responsive blade. Easy-kicking blade responds well to any kicking style.
- Blade extends from the top of the foot pocket for maximum surface area and to increase the propulsion force.
- Fins stays in place against your foot despite the increase in hydro static pressure.
- The fin pocket is made from a soft elastomer for added comfort.
- The Palau SAF is designed and manufactured in Italy by Cressi, an Italian brand pioneer in scuba diving, snorkeling, and swimming equipment since 1946.
IDEAL FOR TRAVEL
Thanks to their dimension, the Palau SAF are ideal for travel and commonly used for Swimming and Snorkeling.
SOFT ANATOMICAL FOOT POCKET
The soft elastomer foot pocket is shaped for an ergonomic and comfortable fit.
With ribbed insole for an improved fit and a dramatically more efficient fin stroke.
MAXIMUM SURFACE AREA
The fin blade extends from the top of the foot pocket for maximum surface area. The strap has a strong pull tab ring to allow quick reversal of the strap for ease of donning and doffing or to clip the fins to the body or equipment. The fin pocket is made from a soft elastomer for added comfort.

Product Description
The Palau short adjustable fin (SAF) opens the way for a new type of snorkeling and swimming fin. It has been designed for two specific purposes. The first was to have a foot pocket that could easily adapt to at least three or four consecutive foot sizes. This would enable the same fin to be used by all the members of a family, or by a group of friends. It would also make it great for rentals in a diving center or on a charter boat, without requiring an infinite number of sizes. The second purpose was to guarantee extreme comfort and an ease of fit in a strapped open heel fin even if it is to be worn barefoot. The result is a fin that is extraordinarily practical, that adapts to practically any foot size, and that allows for very quick fitting in any situation. The blade is made from a lightweight, yet responsive material that assures a fluid and effortless kick, yet at the same time quite powerful. The fin blade extends from the top of the foot pocket for maximum surface area. The strap has a strong pull tab ring to allow quick reversal of the strap for ease of donning and doffing or to clip the fins to the body or equipment. The fin pocket is made from a soft elastomer for added comfort. Thanks to their dimension, the Palau SAF are ideal for travel and commonly used for Swimming and Snorkeling. The Palau SAF is designed and manufactured in Italy by Cressi, an Italian brand pioneer in scuba diving, snorkeling, and swimming equipment since 1946.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
Firstly, I have several other sets of Cressida fins in the last 3 years, and they fit and worked very well after snorkeling many times in warm tropical oceans.
However, with this new set, after only 3 snorkeling swims in the tropical Pacific ocean, both the left and right tips became deformed, bending downwards with a pronounced curve (see pic and video) so that it significantly reduces its effectiveness at propelling forward. It also makes it awkward to walk in the ocean, which I sometimes do when snorkeling in shallow water. All other Cressi flippers I have remained straight even after many uses.

Muy recomendables si quieres usarlos en playas de rocas, donde debes poner escarpines para entrar al agua.
