Waterproof and Submersible Metal Detectors
IP68 detectors and probes built to be used in water, not merely near it.
All 1 models in this category
What this category solves
- Non-waterproof detectors cannot be used in the sea at all
- Probes dropped in water are rarely recovered without a tether
- Carrying a probe while swimming needs a hands-free option
- Shallow-sensitivity probes miss coins buried in wet sand
- Salt corrodes equipment not built for it
Who it is for
- Hobbyists searching beaches and shallow water
- Divers recovering items underwater
- Users who have previously lost a probe in water
- Buyers who want the accessories included rather than bought separately
What the range gives you
- IP68 rating, with models rated to 8 m and 30 m depth
- Coin detection from 4 cm up to 8 to 9 cm across the range
- Waist sleeve and lost-rope tether supplied with the handheld underwater detector
- 360 degree detection direction so approach angle does not matter
- Sound, vibration and combined alerting for use underwater
Typical scenarios
- Searching sand and gravel at a beach
- Recovering items lost in shallow water
- Swimming and snorkelling searches
- Diving to 30 m with an IP68 probe
