DiveAlertPLUS is a specially designed small lightweight pneumatic signaling device that uses quick-connect/disconnect hose couplings to become an integrated part of your power inflator. Installation is easy and takes only a moment.

DiveAlertPLUS uses a small amount of air from your SCUBA tank to make a piercingly loud sound in air or water. People have been able to hear a DiveAlertPLUS one mile away from a diver in need above water. In conditions where visibility is limited, a DiveAlertPLUS can be a life saver. Underwater you can sound for attention quickly with a squeeze of the device.

NO MODS REQUIRED

DiveAlertPLUS does not require any modification to your equipment, and it does not interfere with the normal operation of your equipment. The DiveAlertPLUS comes in three different models to accommodate different connectors: DV1, DV2, and DV3.

EASY TO USE DESIGN

Once the tank is turned on and the DiveAlertPLUS connected, squeeze the DiveAlertPLUS softly underwater for a subsurface signal. Or squeeze it firmly on the surface for a loud surface signal blast. Check that the DiveAlertPLUS is installed correctly and functioning properly before every dive. Also be careful not to point the DiveAlertPLUS toward yourself or toward anyone who is in close proximity to you when you activate the surface signal (it’s really loud!).

One-Year Limited Warranty

Ideations design, Inc., warrants the DiveAlertPLUS to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for one year from the date of purchase from an authorized DiveAlertPLUS dealer. If any functional defects appear in a DiveAlertPLUS unit within the one-year warranty period, the unit will be either repaired or replaced at the option of Ideations design, Inc.

MAINTENANCE

After each use, the DiveAlert PLUS should be soaked with warm fresh water. This is especially important after use in chlorinated swimming pools and in other water having corrosive substances. Additionally, it is highly recommended that you blow the water out of the DiveAlert PLUS before storing. This can be done by pressurizing and activating both the surface and subsurface signaling elements. (We recommend that you cup your hand over the surface signaling element to muffle the loud noise.)

 

Why use DiveAlert PLUS?

What would you do in a diving emergency if you needed to get the attention of someone else? Above or below the water’s surface!

Traditionally, SCUBA divers have relied on whistles as their only audible surface signaling device. But, if a diver is disabled and can’t blow into the whistle, the whistle makes no sound at all. Equally frustrating and dangerous, if a diver needs to attract the attention of someone who is too far away to hear the whistle, the whistle is of no help. Or, what would you do if you wanted the attention of your dive buddy, for whatever reason, and he was simply distracted and not paying attention to you at that very moment? Traditionally, you would be forced to swim up to him or her until you got their attention.

In contrast, the Dive•Alert PLUS enables divers to generate a loud blast of sound on the surface that can be heard up to a mile away! Or, the Dive•Alert PLUS can signal a dive buddy underwater!

Dive•Alert PLUS is a specially designed, small, light weight pneumatic signaling device that uses quick-connect/disconnect hose fittings to become an integrated part of your power inflator. Installation is easy and takes only a moment.

Dive•Alert PLUS does not require any modification of your other equipment, and it does not interfere in any way with the normal operation of your other equipment.*

When you need to get someone's attention while on the surface, you simply squeeze the Dive•Alert PLUS and it diverts a small amount of air from your scuba tank to make a powerful and piercing sound. Or, when you are underwater and want to attract attention, squeeze the Dive•Alert PLUS and it diverts a small amount of air from your scuba tank to make a buzzing noise to alert your dive buddy.

Diver in distress

DiveAlert (the NON Plus version)

A SURFACE ONLY SIGNALLING DEVICE

DiveAlert is a specially designed, small, light weight air horn that uses quick-connect / disconnect hose couplings to become an integrated part of your power inflator and buoyancy compensator.  Installation is easy and only takes a moment.

DiveAlert uses a small amount of air from your SCUBA tank to make a piercingly loud sound. People have been able to hear a DiveAlert one mile away from a diver in need. In conditions where visibility is limited, a DiveAlert can be a life saver.

NO MODS REQUIRED

DiveAlert does not require any modification to your equipment, and it does not interfere with the normal operation of your equipment. The DiveAlert comes in three different models to accommodate different connectors: dB1, dB2, and dB3.

EASY TO USE DESIGN

Simply press the red button to create a piercingly loud sound. Do not point the DiveAlert towards anyone, as it could cause hearing damage. It is that loud.

HOW IT WORKS

The DiveAlert uses chrome-plated brass couplings to attach to your power inflator. The activator button engages a chrome-plated brass actuator valve stem causing a small amount of air to rush by a stainless steel diaphragm, emitting a piercingly loud sound from the injection-molded thermoplastic body.

Maintenance

After each use, the DiveAlert should be soaked with warm fresh water. This is especially important after use in chlorinated swimming pools and in other water having corrosive substances. Additionally, it is highly recommended that you blow the water out of DiveAlert before storing. This can be done by pressurizing and pushing the button. (We recommend that you cup your hand over the surface horn to muffle the loud noise.
