Product Description
Plunge head first into the day with this playful tea strainer! The Deep Tea Diver is based on the classic suit for diving known as the Meoguri, which relies on a single string from its oxygen tank to explore the deep blue sea. Made of 100% LSR Platinum Silicone (the same safe stuff used for baby bottles) and can be disinfected in boiling water. Because tea strainers use loose tea, they are the eco-minded way to brew since they do away with wasteful individual tea bags. Divers brew it deeper!

It was kind of expensive but it was so cute I had to get it. I was a bit surprised by how small it is since there was no dimensions listed under the info about the product. It is meant for one cup of tea and I was looking for something for a pot of tea. I suppose it would do well for a single serving pot of tea but I usually brew 4 cups because I drink a lot! Even though its small a lot of tea fits in there; but don't over fill or the tea leaves wont have enough room to fully expand. Maybe its because its so cute but I could swear my tea tastes better when using the diver as opposed to the regular metal mesh ball. I wish there was a way to prevent this but even this diver is subject to tea stains. So I suspect it'll be brownish soon. Oh, also the opening is at the feet. Be very careful about where you set them to dry. I air dry mine in the little basket in the dishwasher but once his little feet somehow slipped and disappeared into the garbage disposal for almost a week! I was devastated, and I wasn't looking forward to buying another one. Thankfully I found out, so just beware because its clear and tiny so it can easily be lost.

If you like your teas light, this is a great infuser for you. However, strong tea drinkers may want to reconsider purchasing.
The holes are in the front and back of his body, as well as the back of his head. They're excellent for separating small loose tea and water, but there is not enough. Therefore, creates a light tea. I'm use to a steel tea infuser that is covered with small holes front and back. I'm considering adding a bit more holes.
The silicone material is resistent to heat and holds its structure well. I've kept the infuser in my Thermos Sipp for about 1-2 hours numerous times at work (it doesn't taste bitter :D). The material does not stain immediately, but overtime it may. It's a bit difficult to take out the leaves by dumping it or tapping against the trash. TIP: face the him feet down, feet off (open the infuser) and run water through the holes in the back of his head. The water will filter the excess tea leaves out of his cute body.
TIP: Make sure his body is thoroughly clean after each use. The silicone material adheres to the previous tea if it's just rinsed with water.
This is such a cute tea infuser and great conversational piece nonetheless! Makes a great gift or stocking stuffer during the holidays.

My husband got me this little deep tea diver for my morning tea! It is such a cute idea! I would definitely by this again to make a present. I took a star off, because, you can only put so much tea in it, since the little diver, is tiny. So it is really recommended to only use it with a normal size cup of tea and not a jumbo cup.

Nice for small, single cups of tea
This strainer is a really fun novelty and works great for small, single cups of tea. Remember that the tea expands when re-hydrated!

Tea strainer
We got this just to have around as a scuba trinket and not as a tea strainer. Can't make a comment therefor as using it for a tea strainer.

I love it! Though it just kinda bobbed there instead of sinking like I thought it would. Easily fixed by popping a nickle in the bottom. Still wonderful though!

Got it as a gift
I got this as a gift for a friend who loves tea and has a quirky sense of humor-- she really liked it! I'm not sure how it's working out for her otherwise, but it's a great idea.
