The Wave Guide does not reduce the Deus II's detection depth or sensitivity, as it only handles signal transmission between the coil and remote control without altering the detector's electromagnetic field or processing. Detectorists hunting underwater with the Wave Guide access the same frequency options, discrimination settings, and reactivity modes available during land-based operation. The system's performance underwater is limited by water resistance on coil sweeps and target masking from bottom debris, not by the Wave Guide itself. For optimal depth in submerged environments, use the Deus II's lower frequency settings (4 kHz or 8 kHz on multi-frequency coils) to penetrate mineralized sediment, and adjust ground balance to match the bottom composition. Learn more about frequency selection and ground balancing at metal detector technologies.
