Com all the top detector company's make a underwater machine. It all comes down to what kind of underwater hunting your doing and how much yo have to spend.

  Hello Com1diver,It depends on what you are looking for and budget...  Homefire and Seldom have made good points. So a bit more information for what you are looking to hunt for/hope to find / recover.   Cool

Lemmi take a stab at this one..

if your going lake and ocean I woulds start with the garrett seahunter II as your detector..500 clams if you look hard enough.. 400 used mabey

next get your scuba cert.. you really need this one! 600 clams or so!
scuba gear.. go for cold water drysuit for sure...because your under for a hour or so easy and it gets cold! fast!
basic cold water gear...3 to 6 thousand!
you need to take a few extra courses I recommend night diving and search and recovery at least..

Then you need a scuba hookah system... if your ok with say a little over a grand go with the Airline 12 model... very good compressor 1100.00 bucks

then get an aluminum small boat with a 10+ kicker... 2k mabey.. depending

There all set!
now you can find loose change at 25 feet!

Viracocha, you describe perfectly why I don't do underwater detecting even though I live near the ocean. Having done a little beach detecting and ocean scuba I can see that the odds of finding anything on one tank of air is pretty slim. I wouldn't consider it unless I knew where the treasure was. Then it would be difficult. Of course don't let that stop anyone! With this hobby there are never any guarantees of treasure and half the fun is in the hunting. gambol

I think you missed the part about the Hookah... it allows you to be under for a couple of hours as it supplies air to you bellow through a long 100'-50' hose to a special hookah reg...12volt power supply on the little aluminum boat floating on the surface.

You are right.. at 10 bucks a fill and only 45 min max at 20 so feet..it could get expensive if you use tank alone...even if you have a compressor to fill the tank at home, it still cots about 3 bucks to fill!

Ok Guys thanks for your input. I was vague in my description. My apologies. I'm a commercial diver and have my company in the Philippines. I've hose gear hats with comms, U/W cutting gear, compressors, hydraulics, tanks, small barge etc... I wreck dive and then some.  I'm looking for high end equipment that detects AU through steel, concrete, seawater and long range.  I hope this helps.

Com-1-diver, If by long range you mean a foot or two. there are several equipment manufactures. If you mean from the boat like a magnetometer. Not yet but I don't doubt its coming.
