Garrett Sea Hunter MkII
If you’re looking for a pulse induction detector for diving, the Garrett Sea Hunter MkII is my top pick. It has an operating depth of up to 200 feet, includes submersible headphones and provides excellent sensitivity.
I mentioned earlier that PI detectors can’t discriminate - and that’s usually true. Garrett has included their patented Discrete Trash Elimination mode with the Sea Hunter Mark II, however, which provides a level of trash discrimination not usually found on PI detectors. This means you’ll spend less time digging trash targets, such as pulltabs, without filtering too many valuable targets.
Aside from the discrimination function, the Sea Hunter Mark II comes with several search modes, including Non Motion All Metal and Standard PI Discrimination. There are also settings for elimination and audio threshold.
Garrett has also designed the Sea Hunter to be suitable for both beach hunting and diving. To achieve this, the detector can be used with both long and short stems and comes with straps for wet suits.
There are a few downsides though. There’s no pinpoint mode, for example, which can make it harder to get an accurate target location. The detector also doesn’t provide visual identification.
Even so, the Sea Hunter MkII provides great value for money if you want a metal detector for diving. The discrimination function is also a bonus, as it’s not an option most pulse induction detectors can provide.
