Compact flashlight for underwater photographers

Have been using the flashlight for a while and finally got the chance to dive with it over the weekend. The light was compact enough that I didn't feel heavy with it, and I can turn the light on and off even with dry gloves, which is a big plus. Did four dives with him and two of them. There were decompression dives up to 125ft for about 30 minutes each and the lights worked great. In the quarry where the pictures were taken it worked great as a focus light as the quarry was relatively dark and any light would help the camera focus. It will likely work as a backup light in recreational diving, but for serious technical diving it is still recommended that a suitable backup light be used in addition to this light. on the mount where the flashlight attaches to the mask strap. Before entering you have to be careful that the light does not disappear at the bottom of the quarry (I had several narrow entrances). A zip tie or two will likely ensure the mount is permanently attached to the mask strap. (See last picture) All in all a great little light that fits the bill. The AA battery is also easily accessible should it need to be replaced.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Some bugs
