Can someone recommend me a cheap & nice DIVING flashlight ?
Thanks!
I tried searching for one but I’m so miserable at searching I couldn’t find much.
I’m sure other members will have great recommendations.
What is "cheap" to you? It would help to know your max budget.
One of the Brinyte DIV models maybe, often under $50.
There is a thread on a couple of them by a member I think his name is FlyDiver ‘MRTDiver’.

Or a dive light suggestions thread here
Here I will give a perspective on both Primary and Backup dive lights. To help out other divers I only want to share economical scuba lights. So I tried to list inexpensive but well made lights.
I am a technical diver. I’ve dove in Germany, Israel, west & east coast of America, etc. and prefer cave diving. Cave divers usually carry 3 lights, one canister light and two backups, while some individual may carry more backups.
When diving inside a spring (i.e. a cave) at a quarter of a mil…
I played with on of these Sea Elite lights in a Divers Supply store. Sea Elite is Divers Supply’s own brand but it looks identical to the Brinyte in the second review link posted above. I was very impressed with it, very bright, triple O-rings and very heavily made. Blew the other two higher priced Sea Elite models away. The DS model included a cheap battery and charger. I would go for the Brinyte DIV05 as it’s much cheaper. Gearbest has the Brinyte for $32.69.
