Choosing Lake Dive Lights

Whether you are diving in the clear waters of the Caribbean or in a nearby lake, your human eye needs some visual assistance via a quality dive torch. Unless you are engaging in deep water diving, the best visual aid is a basic lake dive light. These nifty pieces of diving equipment could be the difference between a worthwhile dive and a total waste of time. However, there are a few things to keep in mind before buying lake dive lights.

Expensive does NOT necessarily mean quality

If you look at the product reviews on various retailers, one thing is clear – the highest rated dive lights are not always the most expensive. When making a purchase, do some research on the best recommended dive lights. Tonelife wins when it comes to quality and price; however, lights from Evolva Future Technologies are also a good choice.

Test Before Use

You don’t want your dive light bailing on you while on an actual dive, so take it for a test dive in a swimming pool. The problem with lower-quality diving lights is that they react differently to different situations. You can eliminate some level of uncertainty by doing a simple simulation.

Adjustable Light Intensity

Choose a lake dive light that lets you easily adjust its light intensity. Some nocturnal animals do not like unfamiliar beams of light. Products from Tonelife and Tovatec come highly recommended when it comes to utility and flexibility.

Depth Rating is Crucial

While shopping for dive lights, ensure the depth at which it can hold its waterproof feature is ideal for your purposes. ORCATORCH offers products that work for your average lake depth.

When shopping for dive lights, the features of the product act as your guide. Instead of choosing a light by what it can do, filter them out by what they can’t do. The light with the highest number of capabilities is the best.

Scuba Dave: Dave had the good luck of growing up in a family of divers: his mom is a PADI instructor and his dad is a wreck diver. He started working toward earning his open water diving certification as a freshman in high school, and by the time he graduated college he was a certified master scuba diver and PADI instructor. Dave loves to try new things, and is just as happy dipping into a deep lake as he is deep sea diving to explore underwater wrecks and caves. He documents everything with his camera, making him our resident expert in videography and photography lighting.
