Dive Lights for Scientists

The best part of diving at night or going for a deep dive is the view of the ocean and its magical beings, and for scientific-minded divers, a quality dive light is imperative to a successful dive and a professional’s research. Studying marine organisms requires dive lights with flexible settings and easy maneuvering. Outside of scientists studying marine life, dive lights can also be used for professionals who are testing oil spills in danger zones and finding coral reefs, an area of study that has dramatically advanced the medical and microbiology fields. Here are two of the most dependable brands of dive lights you can consider.

SUBGEAR – PROLIGHT SP30 Torch

If you are a professional diver, experts strongly recommend the Prolight SP30. It emits over 500 lumens and 9000 lux at 1m distance. The life of the LED bulbs is over 50,000 hours, making it one of the most dependable and long-lasting dive torches on the market. It is made out of anodized aluminum, and once recharged, the battery can be used for up to 14 hours. This is a perfect lightweight primary light for divers.

ScubaPro Scuba Underwater Diving Lights

Scubapro is a leading brand with over 50+ years of history. Time and time again they introduce products that redefined the scuba tech and diving markets. Their riving lights are not an exception to that – they provide a quality product at lower cost than comparable products on the market. Scubapro diving lights come with an alkaline battery that can last up to 10 hours with continuous use. The batteries are rechargeable, and the bulbs are extremely durable for over 100,000 hours, making it even more long-lasting than SubGear’s Prolight. It emits over 230 lumens, which works well for daytime dives or as a secondary light for night dives. It is a powerful device, and a must have for any diver.

NightDiver-Scott: Scott first experienced the thrill of exploring the ocean while snorkeling during his senior class trip in high school. After that, he threw himself into diving, working diligently to become a master scuba diver so he could achieve his goal of diving for a living. And that’s exactly what he’s done –a commercial diver by day and a PADI diving instructor by night, Scott loves taking his dips after the sun has gone down, and because of this, he’s super particular about the quality and functionality of the dive lights he uses.
