Rating: Gets your attention
Reviewer: Karsten Shein, Friday, June 17, 2011
This is great to signal other divers around you - makes a reasonable quacking sound underwater - not obnoxious, but not too quiet. Those within 20 ft turn to look when I hit it. On the surface the air horn is plenty loud (havent needed that yet thankfully). Best thing is its right there with my BC inflator. After forgetting several bangers on rental tanks, Im glad I got this.

Reviewer: Ian Charter, Thursday, March 31, 2011 - View all my reviews
Very easy to install and use and it works well. Integrates inline with the low pressure inflated. Very loud and will attract attention from a long distance. Great safety tool. Must have for a complete rig.

Rating: Wouldnt dive with it!
Reviewer: Desiree K., Friday, December 03, 2010 - View all my reviews
Dive Alert Plus is a must when diving! It works great both under water and when youre on the surface. While drift diving this past summer we heard another divers alert from our boat. They had drifted from the boat they were on and were signaling for help. It was amazing how clear and distinct the sound was. We were able to pick them up within minutes of the first sound!

Rating: Important Safety and Very Good Signaling Device!
Reviewer: Steven S., Thursday, February 11, 2010 - View all my reviews
Our divemaster in St. Lucia had what I would call a "quaker" or device that sounded like a duck and could be heard a good distance. I ordered another device from another company and was disappointed when it did not meet my expected standard and couldnt be heard by my partner just a few yards away. Apparently I didnt notice it was a surface device before ordering. However, the "Dive Alert Plus" worked great both above and below the surface. I didnt "need" it above the surface on this trip but when I tested it and did as directed (pointed it away from everyone) it emitted a very loud and piercing sound that still brought ughs from my buddies. This encouraged me should I ever "need" to use it in an emergency or get separated from the boat in a drift dive etc. The underwater mode was less loud and sounded a bit like a big burp to me but I was told it sounded like a "quack" to some of the others. I plan on buying another one for my wife now that I have tested it. I look at this as an added tool to help keep us together or notify one in other of things we would like to share without having to do the traditional tank banging or waving wildly hoping to get her attention.

im recently gotm tom use my dive alert on a trip i took to isla de la guardia mexico where my dive alert came in handy and i had to use it because of an o ring that blew out on my first stage where i have a transmitter hooked up to it. the boat was at least a 1/2 mile away when we surfaced i had forgotten that i had installed it on my bc when it occured to me that i had put it on, we had tried whistling but no one could hear us i then remembered my dive alert and put it to the test they heard the super loud high pitched sound & within a few minutes the zodiac came & picked us up no telling how long we would have waited for help if i didnt have the dive alert thx. for selling me such a great product i highly recomend it to every single diver out there 1000 percent

Rating: great alert
Reviewer: Carole L., Saturday, July 18, 2009 - View all my reviews
the underwater alert worked great. everyone on the trip that I just back from loved it. there is no question that you get people attention with the quacking duck sound underwater. did not need to use the surface signal, but did test it and it is VERY loud!I like that it has the two signaling options on the one unit was easy to change from underwater to surface, best price at scuba.com

This is a good value. Fits the auxiliary-air type BC inflation systems. It does make the inflation hose a bit longer but provides a very loud surface horn. The underwater noise is a quaking sound when the button is depressed long enough. This was half the cost offered by the shops.

Rating: Diver Alert Plus
Reviewer: Eric A., Wednesday, January 21, 2009 - View all my reviews
Overall a good product. VERY loud above water which is what I bought it for as Im going on a boat trip in Mexico. Although your buddy has to be right next to you to hear the underwater mode. I have a Seaquest Balance BC and the inline couplings to the low pressure hose leaks slightly when I bend the hose to check my alternate air source. For the price a very good deal.

Rating: Just had a chance to use Dive Alert Plus in Cayman Island
Reviewer: Walt Baydo, Saturday, January 17, 2009 - View all my reviews
Of course the above water portion works famously but I admit I was a bit skeptical of the underwater performance. While on my fourth dive of the trip in the Caymans over the holidays, I found myself bringing up the rear of the pack when 2 5 nurse sharks came swimming right up to me. I let out a quack and all were alerted to the nice treat of our visiters. Nice!
