5.0 out of 5 stars Really fun toy that will last all summer long, June 10, 2008

I bought this toy for my son. It is the sturdiest pool toy I've ever purchased. Unlike most pool toys, this one will definitely last all season long. I wasn't sure exactly what it did, but my son figured it out in no time. It has a timer that emits a beeping sound and that must be "disarmed" before it reaches zero. The tricky thing is that the toy becomes virtually invisible when placed in the water, so you have to listen closely to find it. My son and his friend loved seeing who could find it first. But the really amazing part is that you can control the depth at which this toy rests! From floating on the top, to sinking to the bottom, to anywhere INBETWEEN! It's pretty neat to throw this ball (which is fairly heavy) into the water and dive to the bottom of the pool to search for it, only to hear it suspended above your head, resting in the MIDDLE of the pool. All kids love diving for objects in pools. Submergency totally re-invents the dive toy...making it interactive and unpredictable. If your kids are growing tired of the traditional dive sticks, you have to get this toy!

while it lasted, submergency was great fun. but the details are somewhat misleading--the way it changes depth is by loosening the cap and allowing it to flood. we could only get it to either float or completely sink, nothing in-between. still fun--while it lasted, which was only three days. the water and the batteries don't mix well, the housing compromised and the batteries corroded within 72 hours, destroying the connections and ruining the toy. save your money and do what we do now--dive for stones!

I bought this dive toy for my kids since they practically live in the pool during the summertime. The toy is a great diversion for them and they love playing with it. That being said, I can't seem to keep water out of the battery chamber no matter how firmly I screw the chamber and outside casing shut. After 1/2 hour to an hour of water play, water seeps in and the batteries start to leak acid. Any ideas on how to seal it off better?!
