Best and Brightest: An Illuminating Look at 13 New Dive Lights

Best and Brightest: SCUBAPRO Nova 230, MARES EOS 2C, AQUA LUNG ALU SOLO

Dive lights make night dives possible, and they can really ratchet up the fun quotient of a day dive by allowing you to probe darker recesses in the reefs. Whether you prefer a mini light that lives in a BC pocket (until you need it), a powerful primary light that can lay down some serious illumination on a tropical night dive, or a compact canister light that you wear on your wrist, there are myriad models to choose from ranging in size, burn time (dependent on the type, size, number and even brand of batteries being used, and also on the measuring procedure), power and price.

2013 Dive Gear Buyers Guide

Gotta love the gear. Scuba diving is an equipment-intensive sport, and we can thank our lucky stars for that. After all, one of the most enjoyable rituals of diving is discovering new gear, buying new gear, and putting it through its paces while exploring the depths. Each year, an ocean full of new equipment is introduced, and each year, Sport Diver’s staffers collect a bunch of it at the annual DEMA (Diving Equipment and Marketing Association) show to dangle in front of you, our readers. It’s that time again.
