Hi guys!

Did a little scuba detection with my scuba detecting mate this afternoon to clean the beaches before season starts...

I've used mt CTX 3030 waterproof version with the coiltek 10x5 Joey coil and my mate had an Excalibur II.

I'm used to both machines and CTX3030 underwater is REALLY a great machine. Concerning the 10x5 coil.... it is not designed for scuba postion which is horizontal. it does perform good but I can't advise you to use it underwater, especially for scuba.

I will post a video has soon as I have time...video editing takes a lot of time that I don't really have and forgive me but I use all my free time to scuba detect (!)

We didn't had any great finds but we had a great time during those those 2H underwaterwater.... next time I'll switch back to the 11" stock coil or the 6" coil.

First time I've used my gopro helmet and decided to not place any red filter dure to the "low depth" of 10ft to 35ft and no additional lights.
