And the reviews are in: "At Cocos Island the currents can be wild. I surfaced over 100 yards away from the pickup Zodiac. One blast from my Dive-Alert and they saw me. It's simply attached, effective and could be a life saver. I wouldn't leave home without it." -Stan Waterman / Underwater Cinematographer
"...a crocodile or by a horde of mosquitoes. With Dive-Alert the tender quickly found me and turned what could have been an all-night stay in a Raja Ampat mangrove swamp into a non-issue!" -Norbert Wu / Underwater Photographer

Working for a dive operation in Brazil I always carry my divealert. I only had to use it once, when the current shifted and took me and a novice diver farther out into the ocean. The skipper immediately heard the whistle and promptly arranged for our pick up. A must with a deco marker for ocean diving.

I never dive in open ocean without a dive alert. I needed another one so I bought it. Just make sure not to test it without covering the horn with your hand unless you want to hack off everyone in the dive boat. The output is LOUD and can damage your hearing. If you have to use it in the water I would suggest covering the ear nearest to it.

I had one of these for my old inflator. When I switched to a ScubaPro Air2, I decided to upgrade to a Dive Alert Plus with a Type III connector. You can read my negative review of that device elsewhere. I returned it and purchased a standard Dive Alert with a type III connector.
Just remember to always rinse it out after using it in salt water and when you blow the water out of it after rinsing, PLEASE for the sake of your ears and those around you, keep your palm over the bell of the horn. I accidentally hit it before a dive in St. Lucia last month and my ears are still ringing.

Required by most Capt.s, seems pricey when a Storm whistle works very well.

I found the Dive Alert to be a great purchase. It is one of those things that you hope you will never have to use but is comforting to know you have it. It is extremely loud so do not point is at anyone when you activate it.

Reviewer: joel tobey, - View all my reviews
The dive alert was shipped in a timely manner. The next weekend I took it on a dive to try it out. It did all that was said in the advertisement for the product. It was so loud my dive buddy told me not to use it again unless I had to that the sound would hurt her ears. I do alot of ocean diving and after seeing the movie "Open Water" I decided that this was necessary for ocean diving with dive groups as I never want to be left behind.

Loud ease of use.
Looking to use this in CA coastal waters 45-52 F average temp. Is this ok for this temp?

:
No problem in CA Waters.
Richard:
Can you tell me the style to suit a Aquatec Sunny BCD
Bill (Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com)
:
Type I should fit. Most BCs are a standard inflator.
craig:
Does this also work underwater?
Darrick (Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com)
:
Hello Craig, yes this is an underwater signal device. This device goes right below your power inflator hose and above your power inflator unit. This is a dual device which will work above and below the surface of the water. If you have any other questions or would like to place an order or have any other questions please feel free to give us a call at 1.800.347.2822.
Jason:
I have a Sherwood Avid BC. Am I ok with the Standard unit? Thank you.
Bill (Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com)
:
Yes the standard will fit.
Jantina:
I have a : LaZer Scuba BC for Women (zeagle) and need a dive alert little unit. I found that mine does not fit this unit ..totally different hose connections.
I have a dive-alert plus.
Which one do I need?
Darrick (Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com)
:
Hello Jantina, if you have a standard power inflator you will need a type I. If you have the octo/power inflator all in one unit then you will need the type II or III. Depends on which one you own. If you own the the Zeagle octo + then it is a type II. If you have the octo-Z then you need the type III.
