It's a great fresh water machine that will work okay in salt water. It goes deep and loves iron so you will have to get used to the sounds of iron, pulltabs, coins and rings. There are subtle differences. Get yourself a belt clip so that you can mount the cpu on a belt and take all the weight off of you arm. If you do that you will be able to hunt all day in the water and on the dry sand.
