As a scuba diver, I am thinking about using these underwater to cut through nets, fishing lines, ropes, etc. Has anybody try to do this? Thank you

taught diving for 15 years fav tool for cutting junk covered in silicone replace every few years if they corrode out nice thing is top side they work well to shorten dive belts work on other straps etc... a must in any dive kit IMHO warm water though not cold

Well, I tried these for scuba diving and i'm going to go out on a limb and say these are not titanium and should not be used for diving. After one day (5 dives), they were rusting. I have an actual titanium blade and haven't seen that in the 4 years i've used it. See Customer Images.

I think they would perform fine in that situation. Just keep an eye out for corrosion. Salt water can corrode things that you wouldn't believe it could.

I am a technical diver have used nearly every knife out there, emt shears are by far the best thing to have on your waist (I still have a little knife strapped to my BC). Since these are titanium these should last much longer than the steal ones.

No .. But doing well with the jeans and other clothing. Far better than the average EMS shears. Still maintaining a sharp edge at this time.

I do not have that issue though. I purchased for underwater usage and it works fine. I think for some people that not work might be due to the seal of the wires into the pump. Double check before you use it and put some silicon or hot glue to secure it if that is the case.

Works well with waders ....used them the other day barefoot and they are uncomfortable after only a short time. Keep in mind we use them while in fishing tubes (like small boats ) to get around the lakes. I may try them with a pair of those water shoes on and see how they feel... In the summer i rather fish without the waders (which have the boots attached) so trying to find the most comfortable way to wear these flippers to be able to move around the lake.... Def not barefoot.... Hope this helps

They cut copper and tinned copper wire like a hot knife through butter. I'm sure they'd be just fine for something like fishing line.

Yes! Many of our customers use our products with both in pool workouts and out of pool workouts and love the sound quality all around. It is great for all physical activities whether in water or on dry land.-Underwater Audio Customer Service

I havent tried them in a pool, I have used to hiking and cross under little falls or quick immersions. I havent really use to swimming long distance, I have also used it to do ecuarobics it works.

I've only them in a pool. However, if you are referring diving in the ocean i would get different pair. These good fir swallow water

They would not work well for fishing because of the relatively wide portion of the dart needed to work in the blow gun. I am sure it would go only a few inches into the water then stop because of the wide dart base.

I do not think that these are meant to be underwater. They are rated as Waterproof, UV Resistant for Outdoor Use, meaning water proof against atmospheric conditions not underwater where exposed to water pressures. I would not use them for underwater use. The waterproof as well greatly depends upon how well the wiring up of the connector to the cable is done and think that in that area it is very much questionable how good they are. Sloppy work here will spoil the whole connecter in respect to waterproof.

I have never used them for fishing line.... I primarily use mine foe cutting Kanthal resistor heating wire as large as 22g so I would think there would be no problem cutting nylon fishing line.

I use them for cutting raw meat for my dogs and really like these scissors. They definitely cut small bones (chicken) and sinew easily. In fact, they are the best scissors I have ever used. I like their ease of use, their comfortable handles and powerful "jaws". I am not sure if they would work for wet rawhide since that's so tricky to hold. For dry rawhide, I use garden clippers (the big kind for cutting tree branches!).

Every one I've ever had has been ok underwater. If your running a winch plan on buying two of them because you will go through them eventually but they work great!!

Hi Tom, unfortunately I haven't tried to use mine underwater since I take videos of my hiking adventures. But, I highly doubt it would work underwater since it is made for out of water use. The underwater replacement lenses are flat, not curved. If you hunt Amazon, you can find the lenses made for underwater shooting.

Im not a professional diver, bit used it for a Jamaca vacation and it worked well. And will be taking it again! Thanks for the question!

It would have to be pulled tight. The gague net is pretty thin but very durable. Seems like it might be a difficult task? I'm pretty sure they have std sizes and they may be big for your application, if you have to cut them it could be rather time consuming.

Yes. These will do very well on water where line of sight is unobstructed. Love mine.

Hello - well...they're definitely not fishing line. They do appear to be a form of nylon but it honestly sounds very good. My daughter loves it. And when we hear her playing, it sounds like a quality ukulele. Hope this helps.
