Benefits of a Mask-Mounted Dive Light

Do you like to explore the underwater world? Mask-mounted dive lights are one of the best tools to add to your equipment collection, especially when you want to keep your hands free as often as possible. Because it’s attached to your mask, the light always shines wherever you’re looking, and keeps your hands free to maneuver. Generally, mask-mounted dive lights function as a primary light for day dives, but you’ll need to keep a smaller, handheld light on you to act as a secondary light and to look into small, dark areas.

How to choose the best dive light?

Divers can rate dive lights on a scale of 1 (bad light) to 5 (perfect light) when submitting reviews. However, the following factors are important to consider as well:

  • Switches and controls are simple and easy to use
  • Good size, shape, weight, and balance so the light is comfortable when attached to your mask
  • The brightness and, of course, the quality of the beam
  • The capacity to adjust the brightness
