The Octopus CNF belt: a mix ofsafety, efficiency and comfort. Hydrodynamic and ergonomic, the belt will always stay on your hips no matter what! Made using only high-quality components, from the strong polyester belt, to the marine grade stainless steel metal parts, and the heavy duty sewings. The stainless steel quick-release also includes an innovative easy-grab tag. Designed and tested by Swiss record-holder Pascal Berger (-131m VWT ). Made in Switzerland, for a quality you can trust.
Less drag We drastically reduced the drag during freefall by using a thin but sturdy belt: polyester with aviation-style weaving, only 1mm thick but able to withstand more than 500kg loads, soft and pleasant to the touch. The carabiner cable being only 3mm in diameter, also contributes to significantly reducing drag.
Waist positioning A simple but efficient fastening system between the legs, quick to clip on, ensures that the belt will not move up the waist during your freefall when your suit compresses. This « AUTOLOCK» system does not require applying excessive tension on the elastic band but keeps it softly and comfortably in place without friction between the legs.
Adjustable size Both front and back buckles can be positioned exactly according to your body shape, same as for the elastic band which can be cut once you have measured the proper length (by first testing it on your own body).

I love the color of the belt and the variety of color options offered. Love that the belt can be snapped aside so I don’t have the excess hanging in my way while diving, and especially love the ability to add attachments such as an O ring I purchased separately to store/carry my snorkel. Genius design!
I have had these fins for 4.5 years now, and I'm going to be purchasing again. They look great, and they work great. My gear gets banged up pretty good from boats and rocks and these have held up wonderfully.
My Bad! I recently found that the foot pockets have stretched out. I live on Kauai and this summer was a hot one! I typically store these hanging by the foot pockets. I think the combination of heat and gravity on the heel was enough to stretch it. They work ok with booties now but I will be likely be ordering again and keeping this next pair safe in a bag.
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. 👍
