Why Choose Our Diving Magnets
Diving Magnets (Pty) Ltd, founded in 2015 by commercial diving professionals, specializes in professional-grade N45-N48 neodymium subsea magnets engineered specifically for commercial divers and offshore contractors. Our product range includes subsea anchor points and tool holders delivering 115–500kg pull force, depth-rated to 300+ meters. Unlike standard diving magnets using Nickel-Copper-Nickel (Ni-Cu-Ni) coatings, we engineered our proprietary Epoxy-HDPE coating system for superior corrosion resistance and extended durability in harsh saltwater and deep subsea environments. Based in Gordon's Bay, South Africa—where we test products in some of the world's most demanding marine conditions—our magnets are trusted worldwide by commercial diving companies, offshore contractors, Air and saturation diving teams.
Marine Grade Construction
Our proprietary Epoxy-HDPE coating system provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard Nickel-Copper-Nickel (Ni-Cu-Ni) coatings. Each magnet features:
- Epoxy-HDPE Coating System — Engineered for aggressive saltwater environments and depths to 300+ meters
- 316 Stainless Steel Hardware — Salt-resistant handle and eyebolt construction
- N45-N48 Neodymium Core — Premium-grade magnetic material
- Tested & Proven — Field-proven durability in harsh subsea conditions for 10+ years
This specialized coating system was developed by commercial diving professionals to address the limitations of standard nickel-coated magnets, which degrade over extended saltwater exposure. Our magnets maintain integrity and performance where standard equipment fails.
Professional Strength
Every Diving Magnets magnet combines premium N45-N48 grade neodymium (NdFeB) with 316 stainless steel construction for unmatched subsea performance. Available in 10 Models:
- Pull Force — 115kg to 500kg (professional divers choose the size for their task)
- Depth Rating — Rated to 300+ meters
- Applications — Subsea anchor points and underwater tool holding
- Materials — N45-N48 neodymium + 316 stainless steel + proprietary Epoxy-HDPE coating
Whether securing equipment at 50 meters or anchoring systems at extreme depths, our magnet range delivers the exact holding power professional divers require. Our founder’s 20+ years of diving experience informs every design—ensuring each magnet performs reliably when lives and expensive equipment depend on it.
Built to Last
Our pot magnet design features a protective steel housing that safeguards the neodymium core from physical damage and environmental stress. This three-layer protection system ensures long-term durability:
- Outer Steel Pot — Protective housing resists physical damage and structural stress

Diving Magnets was established in 2015 by commercial diving professionals to address a real gap in the subsea equipment market: the lack of reliable magnetic solutions engineered specifically for saltwater and deep subsea environments. Our team brings over 20+ years of professional diving experience, including 14+ years of offshore diving operations and active saturation diving — giving us first-hand knowledge of the conditions our products must endure.
Standard Nickel-Copper-Nickel (Ni-Cu-Ni) coated magnets were not designed for prolonged saltwater exposure or extreme subsea conditions, creating equipment reliability issues for commercial divers. We developed our proprietary Epoxy-HDPE coating system specifically to withstand aggressive saltwater environments, maintain integrity at extreme depths, resist corrosion better than standard Ni-Cu-Ni coatings, and provide extended product lifespan underwater.
While most diving magnets use a standard Nickel-Copper-Nickel (Ni-Cu-Ni) coating, our professional-grade products feature a specialised Epoxy-HDPE coating system engineered for superior performance in harsh saltwater and deep subsea environments.
Diving Magnets is a company built by commercial divers, for commercial divers. We understand the demands of subsea work because we live them — this perspective drives everything we do, from product design to quality control to customer support.
Based in Gordon's Bay, South Africa — where we test products in some of the world's most demanding marine conditions — our magnets are trusted worldwide by commercial diving companies, offshore contractors, and air and saturation diving teams across 15+ countries.

Safe Handling And Maintenance Guidelines
Attaching
Note: Before placing the magnet, make sure the area is clean with no obstructions present.
- With the magnet at a 45° angle, place the edge of the pot housing against the area where the magnet is intended to be attached.
- Bring the handle part downwards while maintaining control of the pull force until the magnet is fully attached.
- Before any load is applied, check that the face of the magnet is flush and in full contact with the ferromagnetic material with no obstructions.
Detaching
Detach the magnet by pulling upward on the rear end of the handle, away from the magnetic surface.
All working load must be applied through the eye nut only. The handle is designed solely to assist with controlled removal and positioning. Applying load to the handle instead of the eye nut may cause the magnet to release unexpectedly.
Always
- Always rinse magnets with fresh water after contact with salt water and remove any moisture directly afterwards.
- Always keep the surface of the magnet clean and remove any iron filings or small metal particles. Wipe frequently with a wire brush or rag.
- Always store magnets in a low humidity and mild temperature environment, away from sensitive electrical equipment.
- Always avoid collisions between magnets and heavy impacts against hard surfaces.
Do Not
- Do not test your magnet or hold it near a metal object — the pull force will move uncontrollably, causing pinch points, damage and demagnetisation.
- Do not drop or allow magnets to collide with hard surfaces or other magnets — this causes damage to personnel, magnets and demagnetisation.
- Do not test your magnet by hanging from or underneath it — the magnet can detach and may cause injury.
- Do not use magnet for lifting or rigging applications — it is not certified lifting gear.
- Do not leave metal objects such as needles, knives or tools near magnets — they will be attracted unexpectedly and can cause injuries.
- Do not machine cut or drill magnets — drilling dust and shavings could ignite.
- Do not remove or damage the coatings — this will cause oxidation and demagnetisation.
Safety Information — Neodymium Magnets
IMPORTANT — READ BEFORE USE. Neodymium magnets are extremely strong. Improper handling can cause injury, equipment damage, or serious hazards.
Critical Warnings
- Handle with care: Can snap together violently, causing crushing injuries
- Not a toy: Keep away from children/pets. Choking and internal injury hazard if swallowed
- Field hazards: Affects pacemakers, medical implants, credit cards, electronics
- Required PPE: Protective gloves for larger magnets; safety glasses when magnets may collide
Handling, Storage & Environment
- Slide magnets together, never let them snap
- Use non-magnetic spacers for separation
- Store in cool, dry place with protective packaging
- Max temp ~80°C, avoid heat/flame
- Rinse after saltwater use, dry thoroughly
- Can corrode if coating damaged
Diving-Specific Safety
- Use safety lanyards to prevent loss
- Test attachment on surface first
- Beware strong pull near metal structures
- Keep away from dive computers/compasses
- Plan exit strategy before attaching
Health & Safety Precautions
- Medical Devices: Keep away from pacemakers, ICDs, insulin pumps. Consult doctor if you have implants.
- Allergies: Coatings often contain nickel. Avoid prolonged contact if sensitive.
- Children & Pets: Keep away at all times. Choking hazard. Swallowed magnets cause life-threatening injury.
Electronic Interference
Strong magnetic fields can damage: dive computers, cameras, smartphones, credit cards, magnetic ID/media, and data storage devices. Maintain safe distance during use and storage.
Machining & Dust Hazards
- Do NOT cut, drill, or grind without industrial equipment
- Magnet dust is highly flammable
- Never drop — can cause internal cracking
