Our dive lights are modular and grow with you as your diving needs change and evolve. As a diver gains more experience the demands on a dive light will change.
For example, a primary light for an Open Water Diver often becomes a backup light for a Tec Diver.

Rescue Diver / Leading Diver
Rescue Diver / Leading Diver
As an experienced diver you have mastered the skill of search and rescue dives and leading a team of divers. You will need a spot to gain attention and a wider light to see more underwater.
What you want to do with your light, the purpose, determines what features a dive light needs. For example, a back-up light needs to be small, secure, reliable & easy to operate. A video light should have a wide powerful even beam.
Select from our dive light Purpose(s) below, where we explain the features you will need in a dive light. We then recommend the dive light(s) that we have designed to meet your specific dive purpose(s):

Primary Dive Light
Primary Dive Light
Your primary dive light needs to be reliable, have a duration that is long enough for your planned dive(s).
It should have a spot light for signalling, strobe for gaining attention and SOS modes. Knowing how long is remaining can be very useful especially for night
diving.
Backup Dive Light
Backup Dive Light
Backup lights are essential for night diving. Your back-up light needs to be small, easy to secure, reliable and easy to operate. It should be bright enough to finish your dive in all possible situations should you loose your primary light.
Most divers have a wide and a spot. They can both be used interchangeably to get the most from the dive with the added benefit of redundancy.
Video Light
Video Light
When shooting underwater video, you want your light to have a bright, wide even beam. The higher the intensity the further away you can capture colors.
Intensity is measured in LUX. For video you will need at least 120 degrees for wide coverage.
Two video lights used together will reduce shadows.
The light should also have a warmer color temperature to enhance colours underwater.
Photography Light
Photography Light
When taking photos underwater, your dive light will be needed for two purposes.
1. Not to scare the wildlife you are trying to photograph, and
2. The light should be able to turn off when a strobe is fired, if you use one.
Should you use your divelight as a your only light source, it will need the same features as a video light.
Signalling
Signalling
Should you use your dive light for communication under water, the light needs to have signalling features that include:
- Spot
- SOS
- Strobe
- Attention
Cave Diving
Cave Diving
When cave diving you want a reliable dive light with a long burntime. The beam should be narrow for signalling and wide for observing and videography.
You should be able to secure your light to prevent loss. It should be sturdy and small enough to take it with you in tight spaces.
Wreck Diving
Wreck Diving
A dive light for wreck diving will need to have the features that a light for cave diving needs. A long runtime, optimum beam angle, and signalling functions are all important features.
The light will need to be small and sturdy enough to take with you in tight spaces.
The type of dive you like to do is a good indication what features you would need in your dive light. For example, underwater photographers would like to have all their lights in one unit mounted to the top of the camera housing.

Night Diving
Night Diving
You love to explore the magical underwater world at night. The night brings out other species that are hiding during the day.
You will need a wider, less intense dive light at night so not to scare the fish life away and to see more. You will also need a spot to gain attention.
Photography
Photography
You've mastered the skills of buoyancy and you've got an eye for framing and you now have a camera you can take with you when exploring the underwater world.
You will need a bright, wide, even light for taking photographs. Some lights can sync with your flash or strobe.
Wreck Diving (Bad visibility)
Wreck Diving (Bad visibility)
The underwater world hides a lot of history. Wreck diving is sometimes like stepping back in time.
Wreck diving in bad visibility has even more risks than when visibility is good. A reliable dive light is something you cannot do without. You will need a spot for signaling and a wide for seeing more in bad visibility.
Wreck Diving (Good visibility)
Wreck Diving (Good visibility)
The underwater world hides a lot of history. Wreck diving is sometimes like stepping back in time.
Wreck diving in good visibility needs a spot to travel that longer distance. Having a wider spot is even better to see even more of the wreck.
Bad Visibility
Bad Visibility
Diving in bad visibility is something we can encounter after storms, heavy rainfall, during a plankton bloom, exploring a wreck or inside a cave.
You will need a spot for signaling and a wide for seeing more in bad visibility.
Blue / Tropical Water Diving
Blue / Tropical Water Diving
The waters you mostly dive in are clear and blue.
Having a wide spot enables you to enhance the underwater colors from a distance.
Cave Diving
Cave Diving
You dive in caves or caverns and often need more than one reliable light with a long burntime.
The beam should be narrow for signalling, and wide for seeing as much as possible. You should be able to secure your light to prevent loss and it should be sturdy and small enough to take with you in tight spaces.
