Four AA’s deliver five hours of burn time in this little pocket pal. We like the rugged build and hefty 300-foot depth rating, and at 205 lumens, there’s plenty of power for illuminating the dark corners of dive sites. CONTACT ikelite.com

A pair of LEDs gets a brightness boost from a water-cooled heat sink in the front of the lens. The result is 500 lumens from eight C cells. A lockable switch allows for high (burn time 9.6 hours) or low (burn time 15 hours) settings. CONTACT uwkinetics.com

Simple, roomy and weighing just 9 pounds, this is a dive bag without the fuss. A beefy top zipper gives wide-open access for loading gear, and it’s made from tough 600-denier ramie/polyester material and stainless-steel hardware. Dimensions: 31 by 31 by 14 inches. CONTACT akona.com

Sized to fly and tough enough to dive, this carry-on bag will handle a full set of Aqua Lung’s travel-specific gear, including the new HotShot dive fins. We like the internal compartment for keeping the little stuff organized. CONTACT aqualung.com
