How it differs from its neighbors
Nokta's PulseDive is a handheld for the same diver, on pulse induction at 3 kHz. Nokta rates it IP68 to 200 ft (60 m), and it weighs 19.4 oz.
XP's Deus II is rated IP68 to 66 ft (20 m), with simultaneous multi-frequency programs. Fisher's F75 has only its coil waterproof.
Batteries are 4 x 9 V (not included). Runtime is printed two ways: up to 55 h on the product page, and 35-5 h on the spec sheet. We cite both and settle neither. The warranty is 2 years.

Questions about the CZ-21
Answered from First Texas Products' product page, read Oct. 16, 2026.
First Texas prints two values: fully submersible to 250 ft, and IP54. They do not agree, so confirm with Fisher before you dive.
Two at once: 5 and 15 kHz simultaneously. First Texas calls it a dual-frequency detector.
The spec sheet lists an Analog (no backlight) display. Targets also come through the 3-tone audio Target-ID in the attached headphones.
