The XP ORX's 9.5-inch elliptical coil and lower shaft are fully waterproof and submersible, with no specified depth limit in the manufacturer documentation. The remote control is splash-resistant but not submersible, so you'll mount it on your hip or chest above the waterline when hunting the surf zone or wading creeks. For full underwater detecting where you need to submerge the entire detector, XP offers an optional antenna accessory that extends the wireless signal range so the coil can operate underwater while the remote stays dry above the surface. In practice, most beach hunters work the wash zone and shallow water without needing the antenna, keeping the remote above water and the coil submerged as waves roll in.
