Rating: Bottom Line: "I would buy it again"
Reviewer: Robert K., Saturday, January 27, 2007 - View all my reviews
i researched all sorts of manner of similar devices and then ed this one to take to roatan on a trip with my son. it has a distinctive sound underwater and was invaluable in getting his attention. other types of devices driven by air are much too obnoxious in a group setting but could be useful when diving only with one other buddy. this device was "just right" and did what it advertised. hint: also bring along an erasable slate (the etch-a-sketch type) as once you get the attention of your dive buddy, you wont have to resort to sign language to get your message across.

Rating: Its OK...
Reviewer: Ken N., Monday, August 27, 2007 - View all my reviews
I bought this for my son when he was doing his first diving with me over this summer. I wanted him to be able to get my attention. I found that if he was more than a few feet from me it was easy not to notice the sound. Because it was clipped to his BC it was tossed around enough that when he was nearby I would hear it as it rattled around. Once you get used to it you can tell the difference between rattling around on your buddys BC and someone deliberately shaking it to attract your attention.

Rating: A MUST HAVE!
Reviewer: David T., Monday, September 15, 2008 - View all my reviews
My wife and I were on a dive in Grand Cayman when we heard this rattle from another diver. Great sound that travels well without being too obtrusive and much more distinctive than banging on an aluminum 80L. Very conveniant, fits right in the BC pocket. I tie mine to the zipper-pull so I dont have to worry about losing it. I bought one on the island (at twice the price!) and this one was for my wife because she loves how well mine works.

Rating: For the hard of hearing
Reviewer: Joseph P. Mullen, Monday, January 15, 2007
My dive buddy and I really enjoy sharing the beautiful things we see under water, but I dont seem to be able to hear the sound of her tapping on her tank. A dive master on a trip to Roatan used the Aqua Maraca to get our attention and I heard it every time. If signalling to your partner has been a problem for you and your partners then the Aqua Maraca might be just the thing to try.

Rating: Not noisy enough
Reviewer: JOYANNE S., Friday, September 28, 2007 - View all my reviews
These are great if you are trying to signal someone fairly close in proximity to you but on a recent trip to Cozumel, I could not get our dive guides attention to signal that we were going up. He was no more than 25 feet away. But like I said, if you want to signal your dive buddy, who should be fairly close to you anyway, than it will serve its purpose.

Reviewer: David Reese, Thursday, March 15, 2007
What a great little product small, light weight and effective. I just came back from a scuba trip and saw several people with the large aluminum rattles. I received several question on where I got mine. Of course I told them SCUBA.com Thanks

Reviewer: Elizabeth Bugiel, Thursday, August 17, 2006 - View all my reviews
Great device. I use it for both confined water and open water training dives. Compact and easy to hang from my BC. The noise is loud enough to get students attention, but not overly startling. Like much more than standard tank banger.

Rating: Make some noise
Reviewer: Greg Mauldin, Tuesday, September 19, 2006 - View all my reviews
Great signaling device under water. No more reaching behind you to try and find a tank banger. This will fit either in a BC pocket or can be attached to a D ring. Makes a very unique but attention catching sound.

Rating: So ease to signal my partner
Reviewer: James S., Thursday, July 10, 2008 - View all my reviews
I used to get frustrated diving with my wife. She and I could never get each others attention. Now with a few shakes we know exactly what the other wants. Plus she now doesnt dive right above me anymore.

My wife can never get my attention under water without tugging on me. You can hear these rattles a long way off. I think they are great safety devices.

Very economical compared to similar products. Met my expectations. Will be testing underwater next month. Plan to test it attached to BC vs wrist.

I was like 8 feet above my buddy shaking the crap out of that thing and I could barely hear it. You could make your own for far less than $17.

Great little noise-maker under water. I got it for my 81 year old father so he had something to get my attention underwater.

A decent noise maker, but not loud enough. My wife often cannot hear it when she is wearing a hood.
