Why is it better to train with a bottom plate?Get used to grabbing a tag during some of your training sessions. It will help you reduce the « tag stress » during your competitions by making this step « almost » automatic.
It works perfectly with a 10 to 12mm rope.It is possible to use it with smaller ropes down to 8mm.
Regarding the mounting process, the bottom plate is divided in 3 parts. A plate and a center structure (identical to our safety stopper). A simple knot is placed in its center, and 3 stainless steel screws (standard cross-head) make it easy to finish putting it in place. It is made out of ABS, a strong plastic used for example to make LEGOs: after all, we are just big kids playing in the water!

I purchased the clear oval diving mask. In the past ive always just picked up some cheap thing at the local sports equipment store or walmart or wherever. This mask from Evolve has been a game changer! I truly should have bought this years ago! I didnt know masks could be leak free, have such high visibility and clarity. Im not struggling with it in any way and can now freely enjoy my underwater mermaid swimming and modeling hobby. I also love how the mask isnt visually obtrusive, the clear one isnt that noticeable in my underwater photography. Furthermore, shipping was fast and there were no issues! Thankyou so much Evolve for this wonderful product and great service!
Its a gift for my husband, however he tried his trainer's goggle which is the first version and said it was amazing. Delivered in a good condition, also the shipment is quite fast. 👍
The fins are super comfortable, and I think they’re the perfect size for traveling since they fit in a regular suitcase.
I’m in love with the mask because being transparent prevents those annoying tan lines you get after spending many hours in the water. I also really like the wide field of vision it provides.
These goggles are amazing; they're so comfortable I can hardly feel them on my face, and the the visibility is really good, despite the tiny lenses. I've only taken them down 18m so far (it's cold in the UK!) but looking forward to deeper and more comfortable dives ahead.
The customer service from the team is also excellent; there was a manufacturing fault with my first pair and, having sent them an email and photos, they sent me a new pair that arrived within five days! Thank you Evolve Apnea!
The XL size fits everything I need. My life going to the beach to dive is so easy now. Love love love this bag. Really also appreciate that the zippers are plastic instead of metal so I don’t have to worry about the salt water.
I love this new bag by evolve! It fits everything and allows wet supplies post dive to drip through the bag and breathe so it doesn’t get stinky if you forget it in your car for a few days. Highly recommend, can really fit a lot inside of these bags!
I ordered these fins as a part of the “essential set” for a friend of mines and it’s great. She’s still new to spearfishing and has to get used to using these fins, but I can already see how much more efficient she is moving through the water. The low volume mask and snorkel was very nice as well. Very cool design on the fins.
A small detail about this order and something I really liked was that the plastic inserts that protect the foot pockets come with a little hook so you can hang them. I found this incredibly useful since plastic fin blades are easy to permanently bend if you don’t store them correctly. These little inserts allow you to hang them up so that bending isn’t an issue.
