XP Wave Guide with 250cm Antenna for Deus II Underwater Detection

The XP Wave Guide with 250cm antenna extends the Deus II's wireless range underwater, enabling detectorists to run the remote control at depth without tethering to the coil. Deus II owners hunting submerged sites, river channels, coastal shallows, flooded quarries, face a physics problem: standard radio transmission fails in water. The Wave Guide solves this by converting the coil's signal into a guided wave that travels along the antenna cable to the remote control, preserving the Deus II's full feature set at depths to 20 meters. This kit includes the antenna, elastic bands, cable clips, and the red waterproof plug required for underwater operation.

What's Included with the XP Wave Guide and 250cm Antenna

• Wave Guide with 250cm aerial antenna for XP Deus II underwater use
• Elastic bands (2) for attaching the antenna cable to the coil
• Plastic clip for securing the cable to the remote control
• Red waterproof plug for underwater connections (rated to 20 meters)
• Self-gripping hook-and-loop tape (2 pieces) for attaching the antenna cable to the stem

Why Deus II Owners Reach for the Wave Guide

• Preserves wireless operation underwater: run the remote control at your preferred depth without signal loss, maintaining access to all discrimination and sensitivity settings.
• Extends detection range in rivers and coastal zones: the antenna maintains stable communication between coil and remote in environments where standard RF transmission fails.
• Enables bone-conduction audio at depth: pair with XP's BH01 bone-conductor headphones (sold separately) for hands-free target ID feedback while diving.
• Quick-attach hardware simplifies rigging: elastic bands and hook-and-loop tape secure the antenna to coil and stem without permanent modifications.
• Waterproof to 20 meters: the red plug and sealed connections support full submersion in rivers, lakes, and saltwater environments.

Signal Stability in Submerged Environments

River and Quarry Hunting with Full Remote Access

Detectorists working river channels and flooded quarries with the XP Deus II need real-time discrimination control as bottom composition shifts from gravel to clay to bedrock. The Wave Guide's antenna routes the coil's signal to the remote control along the cable, bypassing water's radio-blocking properties. We run the system in spring-fed rivers where visibility drops to inches and bottom feedback is the only navigation cue. The setup maintains full menu access at depth, allowing mid-hunt adjustments to reactivity and iron volume without surfacing. Rig the antenna along the lower stem using the supplied hook-and-loop tape, route the cable to the remote's clip bracket, and seal the connection with the red plug before entry.

Coastal Shallows and Tidal Zone Coverage

Saltwater environments demand stable target separation as mineralization levels fluctuate with tide and wave action. The Wave Guide supports bone-conduction headphone use (BH01 required, sold separately) for audio feedback without earbuds that trap water or create pressure discomfort during extended sessions. Our team runs this configuration in Gulf Coast surf zones where targets concentrate in troughs behind the first sandbar. The guided-wave transmission holds signal integrity through saltwater's high conductivity, and the elastic bands keep the antenna secure against coil movement in current. Rinse all connections with freshwater after saltwater use to prevent corrosion on the plug and clip hardware.
