The S-Telescopic Dive Shaft collapses to 45cm (17.7 inches), which is roughly half the length of a standard two-piece Deus II shaft when disassembled. The collapsed profile fits in most dive gear bags, kayak hatches, and boat storage compartments where a full-length shaft would not. When extended, the shaft reaches 75cm (29.5 inches), providing sufficient reach for standing sweeps in shallow water or seated detecting from a boat. The compact collapsed size is the primary advantage for divers who need to transport the detector in tight spaces or pack multiple pieces of gear for a single outing. The shaft holds its extended length under normal sweep forces during detecting.
