The XP Deus Certified Underwater Water Kit is a waterproof accessory system that extends the Deus and ORX detectors to 5-meter (16-foot) submersion depth with a 2.5-meter aerial antenna, waterproof armband case, waterproof headphones, and inline volume control. Deus and ORX owners hunting shallow rivers, surf zones, and freshwater beaches need reliable radio transmission between the coil and remote when both are underwater, and this kit solves the signal-loss problem that kills stock configurations below 50 centimeters. The aerial antenna (waveguide) clips to the coil cover and routes the RF signal above the waterline so the remote or WS-4 headset maintains full two-way communication in full immersion.
What's Included with the XP Deus Underwater Kit
- 8-foot (2.5-meter) aerial antenna with coaxial cable and three plastic support clips
- Waterproof armband case (protects LCD remote or WS-4 control pod to 5 meters)
- Waterproof headphones with inline volume control adapter
- Three O-rings for securing the antenna to the search coil
Why Deus and ORX Owners Reach for the Certified Waterproof Kit
- Maintains full radio link to 5 meters: the aerial antenna routes the signal above water so the coil and remote communicate seamlessly in full submersion, eliminating the dropouts that plague stock configurations below knee depth.
- Protects the LCD remote or WS-4 headset: the waterproof armband case is rated to 16 feet and keeps the control unit dry and accessible on your forearm during surf hunting and river wading.
- Flexible mounting options: clip the antenna support to the coil, detector stem, remote, WS-4 headset, or WS5 headphones depending on immersion depth and hunting style.
- Inline volume control: adjust headphone output without surfacing or opening the waterproof case, critical when target signals vary widely in mineralized saltwater.
- XP-certified components: manufactured by XP Metal Detectors to meet waterproof specifications for underwater detecting.
Signal Integrity in Saltwater Surf and Shallow Rivers
Surf Zone Hunting with the Deus on Gulf and Atlantic Beaches
Deus owners working the first sandbar in waist-deep surf mount the aerial antenna to the coil cover and run the 8-foot cable up the shaft to the waterproof armband on the forearm. The waveguide clip positions the antenna above the waterline even when the coil is fully submerged, so the frequency programs maintain stable threshold and target ID in saltwater. The inline volume control lets you reduce headphone output when wave noise spikes without pulling the remote from the case.
Freshwater River Wading and Creek Hunting
ORX and Deus users hunting knee-to-chest-deep rivers benefit from partial-immersion mounting: position the remote on the detector stem above the waterline and clip the aerial antenna support to the stem or headphones. This configuration works for immersion depths under 50 centimeters and eliminates the need for the waterproof case when you're wading but not diving. The technologies behind modern detectors rely on uninterrupted RF communication, and the aerial extender preserves that link when the coil enters the water column.
