Ask Joe & Larry

I'm hunting for a good Primary Dive Light. Which one should I get?

Larry: Ok... Still - nothing beats the HID lights.UK Light Cannon HID was the leader forever, and now there is the new Darkbuster Bright Star recharbagle HID. Both of these are the most amazing... brightest, whitest light I've seen. If I want a bright light to hand hold.... one of these is the guy. ... and did I mention it's bright and white?! No I mean really really bright... and really really white!

Joe: Amazing Larry... You got something right... They are still the best out there but if it doesn’t fit the budget or you are as clumsy as me then take a look at the new Princeton Tec Shockwave LED Its bright white and I can still throw it at you and not worry about losing it. The burn time is 20 hours on a set of batteries, so you save money on batteries. Besides, I like pistol grip lights... Feels like you're carrying a Sig.

Larry: A Sig??! Perhaps Sigmund Freud is who you should dive with!

Joe: Your right maybe I should dive with him, he can no longer talk me to death like you do.

"I just got my Light Cannon from you guys, and had the first dive with it. Amazing! My friends all thought their batteries were dead - Look for orders from 3 of my friends this week! Thanks again for the advice."

"I never tried the C8, but the Princeton Tec Shockwave seems like it's about the same light... just without the 2 bulb thing. Mine works great."
