The story behind the name.
TUSA says it was founded in Tokyo in 1952 by Kazuo Tabata, beginning with handmade masks and goggles. Today its mask catalogue distinguishes standard, Pro, single-window and Special Edition models; those suffixes deserve attention before a purchase. Official source ↗
Decode the names first
Paragon and Paragon S are different window layouts. Ino is positioned for smaller faces, while Zensee offers a frameless design. Pro and Special Edition names can involve lens or strap changes, so compare model codes rather than colours alone. This directory now links researched examples from each of these families; the product sources explain the exact configuration.
Fit technology is a starting point
Terms such as Freedom Fit II and 3D SYNQ describe a design approach. They cannot predict your personal fit from a catalogue photograph. Use a shop visit to compare nose clearance, contact around the upper lip and access to adjustment. If you use a hood, bring it. A feature-rich mask that presses on your face should leave the shortlist regardless of the brand story.
Build the complete mask quote
For a lens change or a strap upgrade, ask the dealer to specify compatible part numbers and the finished cost. A standard model with the right fit may be a better purchase than a Special Edition chosen for its appearance. Conversely, an included strap you would otherwise buy separately may matter. Confirm approved care for treated lenses before using a generic preparation method.

Products with a clearer picture.
Special Edition Paragon Mask
A twin-window mask with TUSA’s TRI-MIX frame, Freedom Fit II system and a fabric strap. The Special Edition listing identifies UV 420 and anti-reflective lens treatments together with matte finishes. Check this exact edition against the item you tried, rather than treating all Paragon listings as identical.

Paragon Mask
The M2001S Paragon combines a reinforced TRI-MIX frame with treated optical glass. Its twin-window format offers an alternative to the single-window Paragon S; TUSA lists replacement lenses for this model.
Specifications & review evidence →
Paragon S Mask
The M1007S Paragon S puts a single window into TUSA’s reinforced frame family. It pairs treated CrystalView glass with Freedom Fit II and a quick-adjust strap system.
Specifications & review evidence →
Ino Mask
TUSA positions the M1011 Ino for smaller faces. Its single-window design uses the brand’s 3D SYNQ fitting system and Swift Buckle 3D adjustment. This is the standard Ino, not the Ino Pro or fabric-strap variant.
Specifications & review evidence →
Zensee Mask
The M1010 Zensee is a frameless mask using TUSA’s 3D SYNQ fitting ring and low-profile Swift Buckle 3D. Its published fitting dimensions are wider than those listed for the Ino.

Element III Dive Computer
The Element III, model IQ1101, is a wrist computer with a backlight, audible alerts and a user-replaceable CR2450 battery. TUSA lists nitrox support, water activation and dive, gauge and watch modes. Its published log capacity is more than 500 dives, and a console version is a separate buying choice.
Specifications & review evidence →
TUSA HyFlex Tri-Force Fin
The HyFlex Tri-Force, model SF0112, combines an interchangeable foot pocket, broad blade and adjustable strap. The modular arrangement lets a buyer assess pocket size separately from blade choice and can make packing easier. TUSA lists it as part of the HyFlex system; a blade-only listing is not necessarily the same purchase as a complete pair.
Specifications & review evidence →
Xentra Fin
The Xentra, model SF0117, uses a flexible central blade section and supporting side keels. TUSA describes the centre forming a spoon-like channel during the kick. The open-heel pocket is paired with a five-position TA0915 bungee strap, allowing adjustment for the actual foot and boot combination.
Specifications & review evidence →
Special Edition Paragon S Mask
The Special Edition Paragon S combines a matte finish and fabric strap with TUSA’s Freedom Fit II skirt design and UV 420 lens treatment. The detailed manufacturer description specifies a single window, 215 cc internal volume and a listed weight of 245 g. Its special-edition styling should be considered separately from personal fit.
Specifications & review evidence →
SC0102
SC0102 is TUSA’s wrist-mounted analogue compass. A protective boot and strap keep it separate from an instrument hose, while a side-reading window lets you view a heading without relying only on the top face. Its locking bezel and luminescent dial are straightforward navigation features.
Specifications & review evidence →
SC0202
SC0202 combines an analogue pressure gauge and depth gauge in one compact console. Its flexible mesh hose and attachment rings are useful details to check when planning hose routing and stowage. Luminescent faces support reading in low light without turning it into a dive computer.
Specifications & review evidence →
SC0201
SC0201 pairs tank-pressure monitoring with an analogue compass in a hose-mounted console. It is the navigation-focused two-instrument option in this TUSA range. The mesh hose, luminescent face and attachment rings help define the physical setup, rather than adding electronic depth or decompression functions.
Specifications & review evidence →
SC0301
SC0301 brings pressure, depth and compass readings into a single analogue console. The compass can be read from above or through its side window and uses a ratcheting bezel. TUSA lists a mesh hose and luminescent dials, with a 300 g assembly weight.
Specifications & review evidence →
Full Foot Rubber Fin
The TUSA SPORT UF1202 is a short-bladed, full-foot rubber fin for snorkelling and tropical diving. An open toe and low ankle opening give it a simple slip-on design without a heel strap or buckle. It suits a buyer who wants uncomplicated footwear for warm-water trips.
Specifications & review evidence →
Solace
Solace is the VIEW V-825A swimming goggle sold through TUSA, not a scuba mask. Large soft TPE seals target recreational swimmers, while three interchangeable nosepieces let you adjust the spacing between the eyecups. The E-Z strap and quick-adjust buckles are its main convenience features.
Specifications & review evidence →
Selene
The Selene on this page is the VIEW V-820A swimming goggle. Its construction combines a firmer frame around the lenses with a soft face pad, aimed at a comfortable seal for recreational and fitness swimming. The broad lens arrangement favours visibility over an especially compact racing profile.
Specifications & review evidence →
Imprex

Specifications & review evidence →
Pirana
The VIEW Pirana V-220A is a masters-racing swimming goggle with four interchangeable nosepieces. A split strap and soft fit give a swimmer several ways to settle the eyecups without relying entirely on strap tension. UV protection and an anti-fog treatment are listed for the standard model.
Specifications & review evidence →
Aquario
Aquario is the VIEW V-550A fitness swimming goggle. It combines a large cushioned seal with E-Z strap adjustment, quick-adjust buckles and three interchangeable nosepieces. The practical appeal is the ability to adjust both bridge width and strap length for regular pool sessions.
Specifications & review evidence →
Platina
The VIEW Platina V-500A is a fitness swimming goggle with flexible side clips, a silicone split strap and a replaceable nosepiece. Its standout distinction in this group is compatibility with VIEW VC-510A corrective lenses. A VPS-500A parts kit is also listed by the manufacturer.
Specifications & review evidence →
Shinari
Shinari is the VIEW V-130A racing goggle. Its lens and face pad are bonded into a low-profile construction, with soft joints between the lens and buckle. Three interchangeable nosepieces and a split strap provide fit adjustment around that compact eyecup shape.
Specifications & review evidence →
X-Treme
The VIEW X-Treme V-1000A uses a broad swim-mask format rather than two small racing eyecups. A silicone skirt and strap, quick-adjust buckles and a low-profile frame target recreational swimming and surface watersports. The official listing includes a soft carrying case.
Specifications & review evidence →
SCA-110T
The SCA-110T is TUSA’s compact analogue cylinder-pressure gauge for a diver using a separate wrist computer. A luminous dial sits inside a rubberised boot with attachment points. Its 125 by 55 mm footprint is intended to keep the pressure display small and easy to stow.
