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.

Perfect for snorkelling and exploring little bays.Comfy and strong. Not the best for big currents or scuba as they’re pretty stiff and stubby.You don’t need neoprene socks for these but maybe boots might work.

Bought a few different ones for my twins to try out. Unfortunately one of the 2 pairs was delivered with broken strap. Thankfull I had order a few different ones so they still have a pair each as we leve for our holiday soon. But the pair we keept is great. Soft and flexible.

I bought these specifically to wear over my dive boots as that's what you do with open heel fins. I bought both my and my spouse a size larger than indicated, my spouse's a size larger than mine. I could not fit my dive boot into either pair. Other than that these fins look to be of good quality and a good length for snorkeling. Don't expect to be able to wear dive boots with these fins. I guess you could wear a sock but that might get uncomfortable.

I’ve been a scuba diver for nearly 50 years, but gave away all my gear about 10 years ago. I was used to high quality Scuba Pro Jet Fins, but they now cost nearly $300 and didn’t want to purchase new ones.However, my wife and I were planning a trip to the Florida Keys, so I wanted to get some snorkeling gear. I bought a Cressi mask that could accept corrective lenses and these Cressi fins. The mask is okay, but the fins are not. They are very compact, which is good for traveling. But they are also very stiff hard plastic, not soft flexible rubber like on my older fins. The angle and curve of the blade just doesn’t work with my foot-ankle angle while swimming/snorkeling. But the biggest problem is the strap will not stay on my heel. Even using a wetsuit boot doesn’t stop it from slipping off, and I find that I am having to pull the strap back up very frequently.Sorry Cressi, but I can’t recommend.

I purchased these fins for a trip to St. Thomas to do some snorkeling. They were great. Fit in the suitcase, lightweight and great when snorkeling. I used these instead of a more expense set of fins that made my toes go to sleep. These were great as you do not need socks or booties to use. No rubbing anywhere and my toes were happy.

These worked well as travel fins, even fit in my carryon! They were fine for diving off the boat and snorkeling in moderate water. Of course propulsion was not as good as when using my long fins, but good enough for a day of boat snorkeling.Two drawbacks:1) the clips did seem to loosen a bit, or at least they felt like it, so I paused swimming to tighten them. That was easy enough to do in the water.2) the height of the foot pocket was shallow so I could only wear neoprene dive socks, not my preferred booties. Also anyone with a fleshy foot would probably not fit in the pockets (I have boney feet).

I am completely inexperienced with fins, but I used these on a snorkeling trip to a local spring that required them. I think they worked really well! I didn't want to feel hindered by a pair of super long fins, so these were perfect. The fit was pretty good, though I did have to mess with them a little to get them to stay tight once I was in the water. I'm excited to take them with on our next cruise since they're so compact!

El tamaño de las aletas es muy pequeño, se ajustan bien, pero la hoja es muy corta.

I can’t believe how quickly they shipped me this item! I have other orders I placed before this one and I got this one now. I tried them on first thing after reading reviews from others that also have big feet (size 14) people said how tight and that it squeezed their feet. I had no issues at all, in fact they are my most comfortable fins yet so compact yet allow me to get a lot of force when I kick. I’m excited to use these for scalloping season this year. I love the design and the quality of these fins I’m so glad I purchased them.
