The Deus II's 9-inch coil and lower stem are waterproof to 20 meters, and the WS6 headphones are rainproof but not submersible. You can hunt shallow surf zones, wade creeks, and work through rain without system failure, but the WS6 pod must stay above water. For full submersion, XP offers the WSA XL bone-conduction headphones rated IP68 for underwater use. Detectorists hunting Gulf Coast beaches and California tide pools run the system in FMF mode for stable target ID on gold rings buried in wet sand. An optional waterproof antenna is required when the coil is submerged beyond wading depth.
