Palau opens the door to a new type of snorkeling and swimming fin. In fact, it was designed with two specific requirements in mind. The first was to create a footpocket that could easily adapt to at least three or four adjacent sizes, so that members of a family or a group of friends could share the same fin, or that it could be easily rented in a dive store or charter boat without requiring an endless number of sizes. The second requirement was to ensure elevated comfort and make it easy to put on, while still being an open-heel fin to be worn barefoot. The result is a fin that's incredibly practical, that adapts to every foot, and that can be fitted very quickly in any situation. The blade is made with a lightweight material that is nevertheless quite responsive, ensuring a fluid and non-tiring finning action that is also fairly powerful. The strap features a sturdy ring on the top so that it can be folded over on itself, and also so the fin can be hooked to the body or to equipment
