Description
The Nokta PulseDive price is £249.95 with free UK delivery. Pulse induction is the reason it works in salt water: it ignores the conductivity that makes a standard VLF detector scream on a wet beach. If you are looking for an underwater metal detector UK divers actually use, this is the compact end of that market.

Nokta PulseDive Scuba in Full Detail
The Nokta PulseDive Scuba Detector is a compact and rugged underwater metal detector designed for scuba diving, beach detecting and underwater treasure hunting. Using Pulse Induction technology, it provides stable operation in saltwater and challenging ground conditions while offering audio, vibration and LED detection alerts.
Pulse Induction Technology
The PulseDive operates using Pulse Induction (PI) technology at 3 kHz, making it well suited to underwater detecting and saltwater environments. Its stable operation helps users search for buried metal targets in conditions where mineralised or salty ground can be challenging.
Waterproof Up to 60 Metres
With an IP68 waterproof rating, the PulseDive Scuba Detector can be used at depths of up to 60 metres (200 ft). This makes it particularly suitable for scuba divers and serious underwater treasure hunters.
Compact & Lightweight Design
The PulseDive has a compact 45cm length and weighs approximately 550g including the coil cover, making it easy to carry during diving and underwater searches. Its rugged design is built for use in demanding underwater environments.
Multiple Detection Alerts
The detector provides several alert options, including audio only, vibration only, audio and vibration, with an LED indicator available alongside these alerts. This gives divers flexibility when detecting in different underwater conditions.
Dive Mode & Rapid Retune
Dive Mode locks the controls to help prevent accidental button presses caused by water pressure during deep diving. The Rapid Retune function allows users to quickly stabilise the detector’s operation with the push of a button.
Built-In LED Flashlight & Lost Alarm
The integrated LED flashlight helps illuminate targets when detecting underwater or in low-light conditions. A Lost Alarm activates after five minutes of inactivity, producing an audible alarm while the LED begins flashing.

Who Should Not Buy One
If you want one detector for fields and beaches, this is not it. Pulse induction here gives you no target ID and no discrimination, so every piece of iron is a dig. On land that is unworkable. Buy the Simplex ULTRA for that.
If you only detect on wet sand and never go under, a submersible multi frequency machine like the Double Score is more useful, because it can tell you what the target is before you dig it.
If you need a long shaft to cover ground standing up, 45 cm is short by design. It is a diver’s tool and a pinpointer, not a sweeping detector.
Why Buy From Us
Nokta PulseDive Scuba Questions, Answered
How much is the Nokta PulseDive Scuba?
£249.95 with free UK delivery, from us as an official UK Nokta dealer with the warranty handled here.
What does pulse induction do that VLF does not?
It pulses rather than running a continuous frequency, which makes it largely indifferent to the salt and mineralisation that upset a VLF detector. The trade is that it cannot identify what the target is.
Does it tell me what I have found?
No. It tells you something metallic is there. There is no target ID and no discrimination, which is the accepted trade for stability at depth in salt water.
How deep can I actually dive with it?
It is rated to 60 metres, 200 feet, which is beyond most recreational diving limits. Rinse it in fresh water after every salt dive.
Can I use it as a pinpointer on land?
Yes, and plenty of people do. At 45 cm and 550 g it works well in the hole alongside a full size detector, and the vibration alert is useful in a noisy wind.
What is the Lost Alarm for?
If you put it down underwater and lose sight of it, the alarm helps you find it again. It sounds trivial until it happens.
Is the battery life enough for diving?
The 1650 mAh cell charges in about two hours. Plan your dives around a full charge rather than expecting a full day from it.
