Can it be used on lake or ocean beaches? Is it submersible?

Yes,I have personally used it on beaches before.the coil is completely submersible,but the key pad is not. although it does come with a rain covering (enviro cover) that protects it from light rain

I have not tried it, but it is sealed with o rings, so it should be water proof to a point. i'm sure it was not made to use under water.

Yes, it's waterproof and I've used it under water. However, it needs a diffuser or all you're going to see are any specs and bubbles in the water. Any piece of frosted plastic will do.

It can be used on boat paddles. It can not be used where it is always submersed in water. Paddles come out of water and when not in use are stored dry.

I have not tried it in the ocean, but I bet it works! I LOVE mine. I read the respond of another user--and I agree that you need to rinse it well and dry it. Actually drying it well is a good idea-- regardless where you use it. Have fun with it.

I have only used it in a lake. It is extremely durable. We had it tied up to a buoy for a week.

I don't think it's explicitly waterproof. Definitely not submersible, but it may do well in light rain for short amounts of time. Just keep a flashlight handy :)

I'm sure the unit is not submersible so the water would have to be very shallow for this to work, but I don't see why you couldn't.

It can be submerged because it is waterproof but it will not work if it is submerged. The deeper has 2 halves and it creates a bubble when closed so it floats on the water

I've used it frequently outdoors while camping. Yes, it can handle moisture, but it is intended to be water resistant, not waterproof. It has been fine when rained on briefly but I have never completely submerged it.

Yes, you can use it in the ocean. I own a boat rental company at a lake in the Dallas area... I would caution you that these jumbo dogs have a tendency to leak air / go flat easier than they should.I've owned several over the years...they just dont have a long life, depending on how much you use them.If you are using repeatedly or for commercial use I would suggest a real banana tube. Real banana tubes can be $800-1000.The real banana tubes are a much thicker material. These jumbo dogs have a thinner plastic liner. They really cant take a lot of abuse.

Hi! We use ours in a pool but it should work in a lake as well. We have gotten 4 uses out of the unit so far. Despite the cheap price and average construction, the anchors will hold since you can fill them with rocks, etc.

Hi there - No it can not. It's clearly stated that it is NOT to be used for water in the Instruction Guide. Hope that helps. : )

I use them on the lake and attach them to my boat cleats when anchored. I'm sure you could use them in the ocean, however the center is mesh and not open to put your torso through like a tube. Good luck.

I have had it for almost 3 years and Never try it in the water, and I didn't know that you can use in the water, however I you get any info from some one else please let me know.

Yes it can be totally under water for as long as the battery works. We had no problems with it at all.

It is definitely durable enough to be used in the ocean or a bay as a paddle bord. It is not a surf board, and I don't think it should be used to "surf a wave into shore".
