I don’t dive either. But IMHO everybody who does caving etc. should have a dive light in their backpack. At least as some form of backup. And if you don’t need it, it is a very safe (though expensive) way of storing your spare batteries.
The lock feature is an interesting idea - plenty of lights have a lock-off feature, but I haven’t seen one with a lock-on before.
I guess an actual diver would have to attest to how handy that might be, though.
I (used to) dive… until COVID. Haven’t gone down this year anyway
I don’t understand why higher lumen capable dive lights still use 6k or higher leds. As a recreational diver (most divers) I want better rendering (closer to 5k) with more flood than throw, and… regulated output is a must have.
But I can see where certain divers would benefit from this light so good luck!
my wife and I have 5 of these in the short version. they are great dive lights, and have performed flawlessly in 40°F water at 110 ft depth. highly recommended as a great bang for the buck option.
