Whites DFX in shallow water

[debrown122]

I currently have a Whites DFX and was wondering if any hunts shallow water and has any advice. Should I avoid getting the housing wet? How far out at low tide? Etc.

Thank you!

DFX is not designed for water. Do not get the housing wet. Sounds like you need to get a water machine. XCAl by minelab or a White's PI. Tesoro Sand Shark is good too. You can use DFX on the dry sand, but even then it may act a little sketchy because of minerals. HH GFP

I own a DFX, and it does have trouble balancing in salt water. I've used it extensively in fresh water shallows with excellent results. My oldest relics have come from 1-2 feet of water. But don't get the upper housing wet
