Discover waterproof and underwater metal detectors for beach, wading, snorkelling and diving from XP, Quest, Nokta and Garrett.
If you want to detect on the beach, in shallow water or while diving, you need a metal detector designed for the depth and conditions in which you plan to search.
There is an important difference between a waterproof metal detector for wading and a true underwater metal detector designed for snorkelling or diving.
Always check the maximum rated depth, whether the entire detector is waterproof, headphone compatibility and suitability for salt water.
The XP DEUS II is an FMF multi-frequency detector that can be used underwater to a maximum depth of 20 metres when configured correctly.
For diving, it can be combined with the XP BH-01 bone conduction headphones.
The Quest Scuba Tector range is specifically designed for snorkelling and underwater detecting.
The Scuba Tector Pro can be used to a depth of up to 60 metres.
The Nokta PulseDive is a compact Pulse Induction detector that can be used both as an underwater detector and as a pinpointer.
It is waterproof to 60 metres.
The Garrett AT Pro, AT Max and AT Gold are waterproof to approximately 3 metres and are therefore suitable for beach detecting, wading and shallow water.
Simultaneous multi-frequency and Pulse Induction detectors often provide more stable performance on wet salt beaches than basic single-frequency detectors.
It depends on the model. XP DEUS II is rated to 20 metres, while Quest Scuba Tector Pro and Nokta PulseDive can be used to 60 metres.
No. Always check the maximum rated underwater depth of the specific detector.
Multi-frequency and Pulse Induction detectors are often particularly suitable for wet salt beaches and saltwater environments.
