Tusa masks

[rsunfish]

I would like to here opinions, (good or bad) on two of the Tusa masks. The Tusa Visulator (m-14) and Serene (m-16)

I've dove with a Visualator for about 2 years now. You've got to have a bigger face to use it. My buddy doesn't and it would leak on him every time so he gave it to me. I can make it leak if I violently shake my head but under normal use it's pretty dry.

Downward vision is superb. I recently had to use my Aqualung backup mask on a dive and realized how much more restrictive a conventional mask really is. I like the click detents for the vertical strap adjustment also.

If there is a downside, it's that it fogs fairly often, even after using any number of anti-fog gels, saliva, etc. I usually just keep an 1/8" of water in the bottom and swish it around occasionally.

I have used the Serene on about 40 dives and like it alot, I recently bought a Favola from Aqua Lung and am in the process of comparing them. Depending on what you pay for the Serene you will not be disappointed.

I have the clear skirt and it is getting yellow thats why I got the Favola in black skirt.

I have two Visulators. I bought the second as a backup. I agree the view is great and find other masks very restricting. I have no problems with fogging - I use the ready made "defogger". I did clean both with plain toothpaste before use.

My wife and I both dive with Visulators, and love them. We also use Visulators as spares.
