I've seen this thingy sold for about S$50-75.  There are Japanese and
Taiwanese lookalikes selling for about S$35-50.  Have not tried the
lookalikes, but the hammerhead emits a duck like honk on the surface.  
Underwater its more like a buzz.  Damned irritating if used too often.  
Over use leads to a cry-wolf situation.

FWIW, the instructions say not to use it above water.
