Emergency Duck Horn?

I use a DiveAlert. It could wake the dead. I recognize it is a failure point in the system, but accept that risk because of its potential benefit. A noisemaker for underwater is not so necessary as to warrant an additional failure point.

Wish I had seen this before bidding on it. I wasn't even interested in getting one that worked underwater. Its just that this was the only one that workrd with the Air2. Oh well. Its new with original package. Gonna send it back. Thanks

That is not true...I have a dive alert hooked up to my scuba pro Air2 and I checked it last weekend with my arms over my ears and I couldn't hear until the next day!!! Why would anyone need to use it underwater? Carry a 2 lb lead weight with you and bang on your tank if there is a problem underwater...

I've got a Scubalert quacker and a Dive Alert. The latter is for attracting attention on the surface, and the quacker is for communicating with my buddy. Yes, I know you can bang on your tank with a weight, or use one of those little shakers, but I usually have a camera in my hand, so don't want to be carting round an additional weight, etc.

The advantage of the quacker is that not that many people have one, so when I give it one little squirt, my buddy/model knows that it is me calling them. Too many people have tank bangers and you don't know who is attracting who.

I do, on average, 280-300 dives a year, and I have never had any leaks/problems from having the two units back to back under my low-pressure inflator. If I ever did, I'd just disconnect 'em and plug the low-pressure into the inflator directly.
