Audible warning device - above and below water

A friend of mine showed me an audible warning/attention device that 
works off the direct feed hose of a BC.  The trouble is that he 
bought it out in Australia and doesn't know any details of it except 
what is actually marked on the device.

It's called a Mini Hammer Head and there is a logo of a hammer head 
shark on it (what a surprise).  It is effective above and below the 
water, producing a type of warbling noise.  It appears to operate by 
pulsating a ball bearing against a metal disk.  Its about 90 mm long 
and 35 mm in diameter, black with a yellow O-ring that the air 
escapes from.  I've attempted to draw it in ASCII:-

Basically I want one and would appreciate any information anyone has.  

I have not seen it in the UK at all, so I'm expecting to have to have 
it shipped over.  I also believe that there is a bigger brother of 
this unit suitable for boat use.

Any Info. greatly appreciated.
