DESCRIPTION
The Scub-Alert is very compact in size. Only the best quality components are used in manufacturing of the AQUATEC Scub-Alert. The loud resonating frequency generated by this horn can be heard on the surface approximately 0.5 miles away.The Scub-Alert is not only starting to be a major requirement for many live-aboard and dive operations; it is also an essential piece of gear that will add to the enjoyment of the dive to any buddy team that need to get each other's attention underwater.

The Scub-Alert is an underwater horn that allows you to signal your dive buddy effortlessly by the press of a button. Use this underwater horn to get your dive buddy's attention both in emergency situations or just to show him something interesting. This horn generates a loud "quacking" sound by using tiny pulses of air to rapidly vibrating a steel disk.

FEATURES
  • Horn works both UNDERWATER and on the SURFACE
  • Volume: Approx 120 dB. (Above water range approx 0.5 - 1.0 mile)
  • Requires just a tiny bit of air to activate the underwater horn.
  • Horn is very loud above water. Keep away from ears at all times.

This product it’s excellent for underwater, you can make noise and all the divers around can hear you and any fish get scare for the noise. But on the surface it’s not that loud, that’s the only problem that it has.

I am a full time SCUBA instructor that dives almost daily. I like an air powered underwater horn to obtain the attention of wandering students. The underwater noise level on this device is so low, that divers simply ignore it. What I need is a Hammerhead. I used a Hammerhead for years. Rebuilt it several times. Unfortunately the company no longer makes it and mine finally fell apart. To bad a company does not reproduce the quality and noisemaking ability of the Hammerhead. Do not spend [$] on this Aquatec alert device. A tank banger works as well

Comments about Aquatec Scub Alert Under Water Signaling Device, Fits Scuba Pro Air 2 & Tusa Duo-Air IR-3, Atomic SS-1 (SA-3), Zeagle Octo-Z:

Years ago my instructor had a similar "quacker" It worked very well and got my attention every time. Now that I'm an instructor I wanted one to use with my students.

This is a really poor underwater noise maker. It makes a decent quack on the surface, but under water sounds like a wet fart. I could barely hear it myself, and I knew it was being pushed. My students couldn't hear it 5 feet away.

Maybe I got a bad one, as there are some good reviews on this, but if you're a professional looking for an underwater signal, I'd look elsewhere.

        Comments about Aquatec Scub Alert Under Water Signaling Device, Fits Scuba Pro Air 2 & Tusa Duo-Air IR-3, Atomic SS-1 (SA-3), Zeagle Octo-Z:

        I purchased this product because it was supposed to have dual use - below surface and on surface as an emergency signal. It’s not very loud on the surface. Works as advertised submerged with the quacking sound, but doesn’t work as discussed in the reviews in both applications. I doubt a boat could hear me beyond 30 yards.

        Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
