WHY CARRY A DIVE LIGHT?

Underwater life is very colorful, but the deeper you go, the less color you see.

People often ask us, "How deep can I dive without a dive light?"

Consider this:

Over one-half of the reds are gone in just the first three feet, while half of the yellow light is extinguished at nine feet. By the time you reach 30 feet, everything will look blue-grey.

Carrying a good dive light will correct this problem and allow you to enjoy the full spectrum of color and life underwater. On night dives, a good dive light is essential for safety and allows you to fully enjoy your dive.

A DIVE LIGHT FOR EVERY SCENARIO
