inspecting fin straps
Check all straps for cracks or weakness before your dive trip.
Inspecting Your Mask, Snorkel, and Fins
Mask straps, fins straps, and snorkel keepers undergo a lot of stress and stretching. Over time they weaken and may break.

Be sure to inspect your straps for signs of weakness before every dive trip. Replacements are readily available, and are included in most "save-a-dive" kits. It's best to discover a potential failure before you find yourself on a boat with broken straps and no replacements.
