How does it sound to hunt with less muscle effort from your kicks? Well, the Gara will basically swim for you. The blade is very soft, which makes it a good pair for swimming in cold water. Cold waters are notorious for stiffening fin materials making them less flexible, the Gara 300 LD fin compensates for that. Great choice for any diver, experienced or entry level, this fin will help you build the stamina you need to later on upgrade for a stiffer blade.

The metal butt can be used as a hammer if needed, which is pretty versatile and we love that. The Skorpion measures 9.134’’ in overall length, and the blade itself about 4.33’’, so it’s pretty evenly distributed.
