Great dive light, good for sports

So I had the opportunity to dive with this light in two completely different conditions. The first was in New Providence in the Bahamas, 100 feet away. The other was near Malibu, 5-10 feet above sea level. This is a very solid entry-level flashlight that does what it's supposed to do and works well. On these five dives with very different conditions and depths I have not had a problem with that. Let's start with the subject itself. The flashlight comes in an attractive soft plastic case with foam inserts, two batteries (18650), charger, spare O-rings, manual attachment, clip and strap. For my use, I attached mine to the latch and had no problem with the batteries that came with it; Charge them up the night before and the lifespan should be more than enough for your dives. The beam is relatively focused, delivering a solid white light that adds true color to whatever you're trying to see underwater. The magnetic on/off button is the weakest part, as it's relatively easy to accidentally press, but easy enough to turn off. It cycles through full power, partial power, and if you hold it down it turns on the fast flash function. I'm not sure what else to say, really. It has performed well on my dives in both relatively cold (59ยฐF) and warm (80ยฐF) water at depths of 80ft and 20ft. It's a great light, easy to use and comes with a nice set of accessories. Definitely worth the money in its price range.

Pros
  • It's amazing
Cons
  • Not everything fits
