dive lights

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.

Ikelite’s Gamma dive light is small enough to tuck inside a BC pocket. Constructed of high-grade aluminum, the Gamma’s anodized body provides superior corrosion protection. 

The T-120 Mini torch may be small in size, but it delivers quite a punch when it comes to illumination. Measuring only five-and-a-half inches in length, the T-120’s lens is made of tempered glass, the body is machined from a solid block of marine-grade aluminum and then anodized, and the battery compartment is double-O-ring-sealed. To activate the T-120, simply twist the end cap and 750 lumens of white-hot light burst from the 10-watt LED bulb. The torch is powered by a custom-made lithium ion battery that delivers about 70 minutes of burn time between charges.
