Whistles for scuba diving

The Storm Whistle claims to be the world's loudest whistle.

According to Howard Wright, the whistle's inventor, the whistle is audible from a distance of greater than a 1/4 of a mile through trees and more than a 1/2 mile over water. Moreover, the whistle is even audible underwater!

Since the whistle works underwater, numerous Special Forces and rescue operations use it. The waterproof whistle costs about $5 or $6 and is available at a variety of department and outdoor stores. I've never used one, but it sounds like a Storm Whistle is one of the wisest investments a smart diver can make.

Is this whistle available anywhere in South Africa?
I've looked at the online ordering option and don't particularly fancy paying three times the value of the whistle in postage and packaging.
