Is it aluminum? Wondering if it would hold up to saltwater diving?

I believe it is all steel construction. (rubber mount pad) Maybe if you wash it off good it might hold up.

This is aluminum But not water tight! Nice and Bright. For the money - it's a good buy, albeit not of the quality required for a tactical light that lives depend on.

It seems like hard plastic but I see aluminum inside. It's hard not cheap plastic. You can drop it and it's tough. Works great worth the buy.

It is aluminum, T6 type or similar I believe. It is pretty strong, but not particularly heavy.

It is aluminum. No idea of the guage, but it has withstood two Maine winters and numerous huge wind storms, while loaded with clothes! I really like it and would get another.

it is not steel and I would not call it plastic either. Its kind of woven fiber, maybe nylon. I have not tried to test the weight limit but have used it for 3 or 4 wet swim suits to dry with no problems. I will say it looks sharp and the metal casing is quite substantial.

Hi xterradiver, Kendall here from The Friendly Swede! To answer your question the best I can, the material itself is not designed to be submerged in water for long periods of time. It can withstand wet weather conditions but it is not designed for scuba diving. As a scuba diver myself, I know how important safety is while underwater. As much as I would love to recommend our product to you, I'm not sure it would suit your needs as a scuba diver. I hope that helps! Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us at the customer service link below. Thanks! All the best, Kendall / The Friendly Swede

According to the description:"Material:High Strength Composite, Rubber Tips and Powder Coated Marine Grade Aluminum"It is quite sturdy, I've had no problems with it.

The pointer is made either from stainless steel or chrome plated metal. I don't know if either would be suitable for diving.

The bag is not aluminum. It's just silver colored. It has lasted well and does reseal.

The main parts are Stainless Steel. There are 3 small, short 'legs' or 'feet' the hold it up out of the water, those appear to be made of aluminum.

I believe it is aluminum, not 100% sure though. I have never had a problem with it bending or rusting. Very sturdy. Works great when getting leaves etc. from pool. I dont know where it was made. Sorry. I always check that first but this time I was in a hurry and forgot.

It's great for saltwater! The only issue I have had is that you get water inside the prop housing. Not a huge deal, I just remove the prop after each outing and clean the housing

It is made of a high quality stainless steel. It will not rust when wet under most conditions. However it is not made of the type of stainless steel from which Nautical Equipment is made. I would not suggest that this item be exposed to a highly corrosive environment (such as the salt water of the sea) for a lengthy period of time.

Says right in the product description the housing and impeller are aluminum. I doubt it would handle salt brine for very long.

I think it would hold up to a few dives for sure. Salt water is really corrosive, so it may start wearing down like 10x faster than if in dry environment. And if you dropped it, it may sink. But if a shark came near you would probably be ok if you hit it on the face! I hear they hate that.
