Product Information
The Tusa TA-81 Spring Straps are a stainless steel spring strap upgrade for open-heel scuba fins, built with a rubber heel grip, a finger loop and the TUSA EZ buckle system, and sold in Small, Medium and Large sizes to match different open-heel fin sizes.
Who it is for
These straps are for divers who currently use standard rubber heel straps on open-heel fins and want a strap that does not need to be adjusted for fit. The stainless steel coil spring automatically adjusts, so the strap easily slips over the heel and secures when donning and doffing, which is useful for divers who want faster, less fussy gear-up at the surface or on a boat.
Key details
- Stainless steel coil spring strap that will not rust or break
- Rubber heel grip with a large finger loop for easy pull-on and pull-off
- TUSA EZ buckle system for attachment to the fin
- Fit automatically adjusts to changing conditions instead of needing a manual size adjustment
- Will fit on most any open-heel fins available on the market
- Available in black, in sizes S, M and L
Compatibility and sizing
The TA-81 is sized to match your fin size, not your foot size: Size Small fits XS and S fins, Size Medium fits M and ML fins, and Size Large fits L and XL fins. Confirm your fin size range before ordering since the strap is matched to the fin, not the boot.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size Tusa TA-81 spring strap do I need?
Size is based on your fin size, not your foot size. Size Small fits XS and S fins, Size Medium fits M and ML fins, and Size Large fits L and XL fins. Check your current open-heel fin's size range before ordering so the strap matches correctly.
Will Tusa TA-81 spring straps fit fins from other brands?
Yes. The TA-81 is designed to fit on most any open-heel fins available on the market, not just Tusa fins. Match the strap size to your fin's size range, such as S, M or L, to get a proper fit.
Do stainless steel spring straps rust over time?
No. The TA-81's coil spring is made of stainless steel specifically so it will not rust or break with regular dive use.
How are spring straps easier to use than standard rubber fin straps?
Spring straps like the TA-81 do not need to be manually adjusted for size. The stainless steel coil spring automatically expands and contracts, so the rubber heel grip and finger loop simply slip over the heel for quick, secure donning and doffing.
