Where to buy

The Mako Freediving Hunter freediving fins offer excellent performance for beginners as they are comfortable and easy to use. A lot of quality for the price here.

These freediving fins are of excellent quality and feature fixed blades (permanently connected to the foot pockets). The foot pockets are soft where needed for comfort, yet firmer around the metatarsal area for enhanced energy transmission.

The blade is composed of a polypropylene composite material that is both flexible and robust and is intended to maximize thrust and stability. These freediving fins are certainly in the running for the spot of best price to quality ratio on the market.

In addition to hunting gear, it’s clear that MAKO Spearguns make some excellent freediving fins. A polypropylene composite material is used for the fins in the Hunter line, which is intended to provide both propulsion and stability. As a result, freedivers can propel themselves as much as possible, experiencing an impressive spring with each kick, while using the least amount of effort.

Finally, we found these fins to be truly comfortable; it is obvious that to create the foot pocket, MAKO drew on their many years of diving expertise. To improve comfort, certain sections have been made softer, while others have been stiffened for optimum flexibility and efficiency.
