We bought 2 of these and they work great under water. We can get each others attention when needed.

Used it on a recent dive trip and it works quite well. Loud and clear--can make short toots or hold long honks.

Time will tell on working life, had problems due to seawater mineral buildup, different brand. My unit failed to get attention on first open water use..

Works great, dive buddy definitely says better then rapping my tank with a knife.

Works well, easy to clip into system. Like having safe way to signal boat when needed.

Don't think about it. Just buy it. The other (cheaper one) doesn't last.

I had previous model of Dive Alert with “air/water” switch. It graciously died after several years of or reliable performance. Considering my previous experience with dive alert products, I purchased Dive Alert Plus v2 (DAP) without 2nd thought. New DAP has only on or off switch. Either you can use it or not. 1st test under water “quacking” noise was fine.. then came a surface test… only quacking sound again and no horn sound. Upon arrival to dive shop after diving we’ve tested DAP and it worked, from “quacking” sound it produced a loud horn sound., seemed strange but ok, at least it worked. Next couple of days I was using it only under water. Then came a day for an adventure dive… as soon as we descended , the current had changed and drifted us in an opposite direction from where we were supposed to ascend. Long story short.. boat was looking for us for a good 40 minutes with waves reaching 6-8ft, and my DAP was making only quacking sounds… after dive we'd concluded that the reason, we got successful test at dive shop was that DAP was dry !!!! and when its wet only “quacking” sounds coming out. Maybe mine is defective or not … its not an item I can recommend any more.

2nd Dive Alert ive had, wouldn't dive without one. As always Leisure Pro shipping was fast.

This goes onto your power inflater & is supposed to make a blast that can be heard a mile off. NOT SO ! just a little better than a whistle. for 60$ more.

It works as the manufacturer spec's stated. Very happy on how it looks and works. It's attached to my Zegal BC.

You can use this version above or under water. You can use this either to make a piercingly loud sound (warn others) or a moderate gurgling sound for people who are relatively close. Its the real deal. Their is a self locking mechanism that keeps it from blaring unnecessarily.

Awesome little device that definitely gets attention both above and under water when needed. Very pleased as my buddy is not always able to hear the typical shaker devices. Also like that it has a lock so it doesn't go off by accident.

I've used my Dive Alert Plus v2 three times since I purchased two week ago. I have the original dive Alert, but left it in Oregon while living in Hawaii for the winter. The underwater sounding feature is quite good. My buddy can hear me from at least 30 feet away. However I'm disappointed with the surface feature. My live boat could not hear me from 200 yards away, no matter how many times I pressed on the horn. Often I surfaced a quarter mile away. If you dive with a buddy all the time and surface less than 200 yards away, I would recommend this product. If you do a lot of solo diving and come up more than 200 feet away from the boat, I wouldn't buy it. I haven't return it because they don't have the original dive Alert.

Very clean well designed product, easy to maintain and clean, quality product Write your review here. It must be at least 50 characters long. Consider whether you would recommend this product and what you like or dislike about it.

I should begin by saying that this worked OK--until it fell apart. As near as I could tell, the sliding part you squeeze to make the horn sound also holds the two parts of the horn together. One side of mine broke allowing the horn part to simply fall off. I was in the boat when that happened, so I don't know if it posed any danger. I bought two of these about a year ago and had maybe 40 dives on it. I used it often as an underwater signaler.

Used the original Dive Alert for many years and it finally needed to be replaced. Ordered the Plus model and wish I had stuck to the original design. Has an on/off switch and seems not to slide well, gets stuck halfway. No button, unit needs to be squeezed but no room between rear and air hose to get fingers or thumb in. Squeeze doesn't seem to be smooth. Not sure it would work properly in emergency.

I took this on my recent dive trip to Catalina Island in Southern California. I was excited to test it out with my dive buddy before using as a dive master this summer. Everything seemed to work well except that my buddy couldn't hear it. This might have been because it was cold water diving and we were wearing hoods. Hopefully it is heard easily in the warm water when the ears are not obstructed.

This is a great dive alert horn if you don't mind the bulkiness. In addition to it being bulky, the first time I unintentionally dropped the BCD while it was still attached, the plastic cracked in a corner. I was still able to use it after that, I just know that it has a little crack in the plastic, which makes me feel uncomfortable. Further, when you come out of the water and need to use it, if all the water is not drained out of it, then it won't work properly. So, here is my personal opinion: If your BCD uses a 1-inch diameter corrugated hose, replace the inflator with the Aquatec Inflator with integrated Horn. it will be cheaper, save space, and will work twice a good.

I´ve used ite for a few times, but It works very well and easy

Easy to use device for above water alerting or below water signaling. Slightly bulky, but does not interfere with use of alternative air supply or bcd inflator. Make sure you get the correct version for your alternate air supply. This model works with my Zeagle combination bcd inflator/ alternate air source.

Every diver should have one. It's loud on the surface and easily attracts attention under water. Don't dive without one.

Although the specs claim that V.2 works with Mares BCs, it does not fit my Mares Dragon BC

Good product for a drift dive

With the surface use you have a powerful alert horn and with the underwater signaling mode you can get someone's attention so no more tank bangers or rattles which means you have one less thing to forget or lose

In the surface mode you have a powerful alert horn to get yourself heard and seen also with the underwater signaling mode you can get someone's attention so no more tank bangers or rattles which means you have one less thing to forget or lose - Easy to install

I upgraded to the new v2 from there old one but they haven't gotten the combined underwater/surface signal with-one-button right on this new version yet. The underwater signal blows just air most of the time. I didn't mind toggling from Air to Water on the last one, so I would recommend buying one of those instead (if you can still find them) - it worked much better.. I will start looking for one of the old types to replace this v2.

This is easy to install and use. I liked the fact that is can be used under water and above! The above water aspect is excellent. If you have ever surfaced and tried to get the dive boats attention with a whistle, you know it almost never works. With the air horn feature you will be heard! Underwater it gets your dive buddy's attention when used. I bought one for me and my spouse.

The product works well enough and integrates easily to my AIR2 setup but I might consider shortening the length of the BCD inflator hose to compensate for adding the Dive Alert in line. The unit is a slightly more fragile than I would like since this is my second unit after only a year. The first unit broke when the plastic stand offs snapped during deceleration trauma with the garage floor. Other than that a good piece of safety gear for my rig.
