Scubapro Dive Lights

Scubapro is known worldwide as a leading innovator in the diving industry. Originating in the early 1960s, this company was the best of the best. Featuring every type and style of equipment a diver could dream of, they introduced the first version of the “jet fin” in 1965, which is still used today. And today, Scubapro remains one of the premier manufacturers of scuba diving equipment in the world. One of the most popular pieces of equipment sold by Scubapro, is the Novalight. Novalights are high-intensity LEDs with intense lumen illumination that completely blows the competition out of the water. Both lightweight and ultra-durable, Novalight’s features rank at the top of the class.

The top performing Novalight product is the Nova 2100 Spot/Flood. This multi-operational dive light offers a 60-degree wide beam and a 15-degree spot beam, five light modes, an emergency signal mode, as well as one-button versatility. At the highest setting, the battery can last up to 55 minutes and the unit has a depth rating of 100m/328ft.

Following close behind in popularity is the Novalight 720R. This dive light is rechargeable, lightweight, and comes with the newest CREE XPL LED that is capable of shelling out between 700-800 lumens of illumination. With a depth rating of 300m/1000ft, the 720R is far ahead of the competition. Using 3 C batteries, this provides up to 2.5 hours of lit dive time on full power. This versatile dive light is the perfect light for both the novice and the experienced diver.

Scubapro saw how strong the 720R performed, so a slightly more expensive and wide version was born. The Novalight 720R Wide has all of the same characteristics and specs as the 720R does except for one slight difference. When creating this model, the light beam was widened to give an impressive 80-degree beam, making the Novalight 720R Wide the ideal dive light.
