Any super glue that's Cyanoacrylate based is fine. I know Myself and several other members that frag often use anything from dollar store glue to brs glue.
Most work great, some not so much, but all are safe.
I do use 2 part epoxy occasionally, but most of the time it's more hassle than it's worth.

Sandwich of superglue gel, 2 part epoxy, superglue gel.  Superglue gel to make sure the epoxy sticks to the rock, epoxy just fills the gap and makes a nice seat for the frag plug, then the superglue gel between the plug and epoxy to make sure the plug stays stuck in there.

Love the pics..I hope the gel works better under water than regular superglue

I try not to glue things while underwater. I pull the plug above the water line, apply glue, and then plunge it back in.

The glue bottle sucks water back inside of it which causes headaches the next time i go and use it. That is what I have found with the ecotech marine glue anyways.

Same,I apply glue above water then put it back in. Give it a little twist once it starts sticking too get it set better.
