The “WICKED” PLB dive canister is the highest quality, most versatile canister we can make.
✓ The water tight storage cylinder is encased in a durable web binding strap and is easily secured to your BC waist belt; making it instantly available for use should an emergency arise. In addition, the highly reflective surface of the MYLAR space blanket, the foil serves as a signaling device and is easily spotted for miles away and exponentially increasing your chances of rescue. A far better solution than the safety sausage you will still continue to carry on every open water dive.
✓ Sun exposure and hypothermia are some of the most serious safety issues for divers lost at sea for short durations. This space blanket provides full protection from the sun and helps to conserve critical heat loss from the head and neck area at night, quite possibly saving your life. The space blanket can alternatively be used to capture, drink and store rainwater in the open canister.
✓ The water activated emergency beacon that is also included in the package set is designed to last 8+ hours of high intensity operation. Note that the battery expiration is February of 2028. While this battery is currently not replaceable, there are numerous substitute beacons readily available for purchase and can be inserted at a later date when required.
Note: never open the canister or take it off your BCD unless needed in an emergency. Keeping the canister on your waist belt, right next to the tank keeps the unit out of the way and also allows for tank changes without the need to remove the canister for any reason.
Having the “WICKED” PLB dive canister always at the ready, you’re now prepared that in the event that dingy or boat isn’t there when you surface in unexpectedly heavy current, you will have in place the needed equipment to give you best chance of immediate detection and overall survival.

I have been looking for a long time for a housing to hold an ACR satellite beacon. I had been using a makeshift solution keeping it inside a repurposed dive light. This is much more convenient. It comes with a mylar thermal blanket and small length of line as well (which the manufacturer suggests using to tie yourself to your buddy in an emergency so you don't get separated). There is a laminated instruction sheet telling you what to do in an emergency! There wasn't enought room to put any more than the thermal blanket and beacon in the housing. The line wouldn't fit.It comes with a strap on holster to attach to a BCD strap, which keeps it out of the way while diving. There Is also a hole on the outside to secure it with a line. I have a short length of line attached to it so it won't float away if the velcro on the holster comes loose. The satellite beacon is a piece of safety equipment I hope I never have to use, but it's reassuring to have it when in the middle of open water far from land.

Seals failed at 30meters and flooded , no answer from the customer support (Wicked.support@tridentasg.com)I did dives to 30 m depth for 8 days. At the end of my last dive, I had real difficulty opening it.water started leaking. then when it opened completely, it was filled with water.(the canister was under pressure of the water).it has a defect, it is clearly not waterproof.at my return to France, it was out of date to return it with amazon.on the photos : i notice the 2 seals are at the same level as the external edges. if I compare to my diving lamps, the joints protrude slightly more, giving a tighter seal:

I know these things are pretty pricey, and there are more economical, non-specific options out there, but in the matter of safety, I don't ever want to go cheap. This canister fits my new (2021) ACR ResQ Link View perfectly, with room for the included mylar blanket around it and the emergency beacon in the base. This is much smaller than my previous PLB canister and will work for my purposes perfectly. I have not taken it underwater yet, but I presume the dual o-rings and snug closure will keep everything inside dry.

Add me to the list of people who have experienced a leaking Wicked PLB canister.I tested it out before using expensive gear in it, and it checked out fine on dives in Little Cayman. On a recent trip to Indonesia, the canister leaked badly and destroyed an ACR ResQLink PLB, even though the PLB was in double ziplock bags. Nothing was interfering with the threads, the can was not overpacked, and there is no visible damage.And yet, now I'm out hundreds of dollars, both for this useless can, and the ACR PLB. Not happy at all about that.

The canister is great - didn’t see any problems and fits my beacon perfectly. The extras included were a nice addition!Unfortunately, the velcro on the holder doesn’t work at all. Initially it felt secure enough but it doesn’t stay closed - ever. I had to zip tie the canister to my harness so I wouldn’t lose it.I’m going to try to add a clip to keep it closed.

I carry a small vhf radio in this to talk to boat or others. A real life saver. Had to 100 ft and no leaks

This is not waterproof, and all contents inside were ruined. Velcro is also garbage and kept coming undone. Don't buy this, and if you do, don't put anything in side it you don't want to destroy. Mine didn't completely flood like others have shared, but it had sea water in it after diving.

I think it's very likely to rust but hoping that I can take care of it in a way that it will last for a long time.

I bought this canister for my PLB (ACR ResQLink 400). The PLB fits with the included water-activated beacon and the space blanket BUT DOESN'T SEAL TIGHTLY. Obviously, I tested the canister by itself, without the PLB. It was fine, no water leaking.On the day I went diving with my PLB and the included water-activated beacon inside the canister, the canister got flooded. As soon as I hit the water and went under, my PLB got activated and SAR authorities were alerted. But I didn't know this until I got back to the surface.Now my PLB fails testing because it was underwater the entire time I was diving. I went diving again with my PLB inside, but this time I took out the included beacon. This time it seals tightly. No leaking. But damage has been done, I have to get a new PLB. Unless this Wicked sends me a replacement.TLDR; don't include the water-activated beacon that comes with the canister. Just put in your PLB and the space blanket. Otherwise, it will leak.

I purchased this to house a PLB. As recommended by the manufacturer, I did a "test dive" and sure enough, it flooded. I suspect that the plastic bag holding the included space blanket interfered with the seal.After this, I removed everything, and also lubricated the o-rings with some silicon grease that I use on my camera housing. The canister remained dry after that. I'm just back from a week of diving in a remote portion of northern British Columbia where I did 17 dives at depths down to 135' using the canister and it kept my PLB completely dry.I have not used the holster since this fits nicely in my drysuit pocket along with a 6' DSMB, although it looks secure. I use a line on the canister and secure it to my suit with a bolt snap. I am leaving the miscellaneous goodies out of the canister as they're redundant for me anyway.If you dive in remote areas, or solo, this is a great piece of gear to use with your PLB.
