Aquavision Pro

Terrible detector

Michele in Upstate, Ny -
I bought this detector on ebay for 142.00. The very first time I used this detector, I went 20 ft under water it just made a lots of noise for 1 minute, then it filled up with water.Junk

Why is this thing on the market?

jim in pensacola fl -
I have made the same mistake others are making. I bought the aquavision pro thinking this was a great deal. The poor instruction page says waterproof to 133' or so. Went diving in a crystal clear spring.at about 5' turned the thing on, it made a sound like a dieing bird and couldn't get it to anything after that. The head phones are cheep. I also saw an oil sheen comming from the control knobs. If any one knows the phone number to chapmans lt plus please let me know. jimsher35@bellsouth.net

Not water tight.

Jabbo in Central Jersey -
I was in the river chest deep and the Aquavision Pro stopped working immediately. Seems like water was getting in through the control knobs. This happened twice. After it dried out it worked again. I sold it for $50, it's not worth any more.

Aquavision Pro - No Service Department!

Tony in Oklahoma -
I had a problem with my headphones cord and the company told me they could not do anything about it. So buyer beware. The machine works pretty good but if it breaks you are in trouble!

It look's like a million buck's

"4everdive" in New Haven,CT,USA. -
Well, its to late for me, I already bought it! Guess what? I am still waiting for it. I paid $109.00, wow! Imagine that!. I saved from $799.95 (retail) a total of ($690.95) on the "aquavision pro", it will arrive on Monday, on 01/28, I just sold my new bounty hunter "quick silver" for $100.00, not bad! It was a Christmas gift that costed $85.00. well, I used it three times only. Priced at $149.99 (retail) in private store, not at ebay! I know it was a gift! But I am a heavy duty diver, over 100 dives last year alone! It's was my childhood dream to own a under water metal detector, but they are way to expensive, until now! Can't express regret yet! but, I will make sure to let you's know my own personal experience which I hope is not as bad as your's. (but), I doubt it!. login out, "peace"

AquaVision Pro Still Working

Anthony in Oklahoma -
My AqauaVision Pro is still working good. It is OK for finding all metals but does not discriminate worth a darn. If you go water hunting rarely,... then this unit will work for you. If you live near the ocean,...forget it.

Aquvision is a RIP OFF

Jay in Connecticut -
I bought one of those aquavision detectors to try scuba diving , to be honest, it was junk ,,i had issues with the detector,when it came time to inform that person, i got a run-around bs story. i had been dealing with 2 different addresses, 3 different people, finally ,they sent me another,guess what!! the same crap, they really suck as a detector goes, i highly recommend,DO NOT BUY a Aquavision, they are cheap junk.. do yourself a favor ,,---go spend the $$ on a real good dectector,,and do your homework first before jumping in,,I do own 3 detectors (whites are good).

Aquavision from eBay - Dissapointing

Winthrop Miller in Wheeling West Virginia -
I bought one of these specifically for a dive trip I took in the Cayman's. Not knowing too much about water detectors I figured I would give it a try and the price was right. I am an experienced land detectorist and have been detecting land sites for over 10 years. Right out of the box the AqauVision looks quite nice. Once it gets near water it is a whole different story. The earphones are cheaply made and sound out of one of the ear pieces went out within two hours. The amount of false signals were extremely fristrating. I think the discrimination knob is just there for show because I tried in the water and out of the water and the knob doesn't do anything at all. I put a nail and a gold ring on the ground and could not get the discrimination to differentiate between the two. I would not recommend that anyone purchase this detector, or atleast for the price that they are going for on eBay, 228.00 USD. You have to ask yourself, why is this unit being sold ONLY on eBay and not through other major metal detector distributors. I knew it was too good to be true in the back of my mind and after using the unit I felt taken advantage of. I am going to buy a water detector for use in the future but will steer clear of the "eBay Specials" from now on.
