Underwater torches are vital when diving in low visibility, at depth or when cave diving. As you descend below the water's surface, your surroundings become darker. A diving torch allows you to see exactly what lies ahead of you AND adds the colour back that gets filtered out as sunlight is reduced. It can also be used as a for of communication to alert your buddies or get their attention.
We highly recommend you take a torch along with you on every dive to enhance your diving experience. Shine it into a nook or overhang to see otherwise hidden marine life and to bring colours of fish and corals alive! Most people carry a primary and a backup torch.
We strongly recommend a rechargable dive torch. They may be more expensive than conventional battery torches but are more economical in the long run. Many come with convenient USB charging cables. Some torches can even be charged without opening them making them less likely to flood.
