ORCATORCH SD03 Dive Signal Light 4-Color-in-1 (Blue, Red, White, Green) 8 Modes Scuba Diving Beacon with Constant and Flashing Modes, Mini Tank Marker Light for 150M Underwater Diving

The media could not be loaded. I am a professional instructor and often teach and go night diving. I saw the SD03 and had to try it out. This little guy is GREAT!Everyone needs a tank light - even if you don't think you do. Diving at night - or at dusk - is always an additional risk. Tank lights let everyone know who is where - even if they don't have a primary light on. The problem with so many of these solutions is that they aren't very bright and they all seem to be one color.Roll credits for the SD03- this little masterpiece gives you 3 colors and 3 colors of "blinking" light - so you can have 6 divers all independently marked on a dive. This is the perfect solution for instructors and general divers. The bonus of the SD03 is that it has a utility light built in- just in case you need an emergency light.What I love about this light:1) size- it's not much bigger than a very small light - watch my video and compare it to the typical tank light - the one DAN still sells. That one is great - but this one is smaller - the same price - and much more versatile - with the multiple colors2) Battery - it's a AA battery - easy to change and replace3) Bonus utility light - i've never seen this feature - and everyone should have this option! Whether you use it as a tank light or merely a pocket light as a backup - it's terrific.4) Design - it fits right in your pocket - it loops right on your hose or tank - and it's easy to pack with you on a trip. The traditional "dot" lights - they have a small pressure clip -that never every stays put - they float away. This light has a secure loop -and stays in place.This is the most versatile tank light i've seen. I going to have to retire my others and get a set of these SD03s! See my video for the hands-on review...

The media could not be loaded. SD03:SD03 Dive BeaconI'm always looking to increase my visibility and preparedness. The SD03 Dive Marker does both. It can provide a visible strobe for others to see you or can be used as a backup flashlight. Both are important items to have but in this case, incorporated into the same device. I took the SD03 on some cold dark dives here in the Pacific Northwest as well as a week of warm water diving in the caribbean.Overview: So how did the SD03 Dive Beacon do?In the case: It comes in a box with spare o-rings, a single aaa battery, a lanyard, a user manual and a warranty card.Build and design: The overall quality feels solid in hand. The threading screws together with ease. It came with lubricated double o-rings that should help keep it watertight at 100m depth.Depth Rated 100mSize: 76.15mm (Length)* 30.5mm(Diameter)* Net Weight: 50g without batteryPower: It’s powered by a single AAA or rechargeable lithium 14500 battery.I chose to use a Vapcell H10 14500 Purple/White 10A Button Top 1000mAh BatteryMax Runtime: 250 hours (Battery dependent)Simple: The light is intuitive and easy to use. Simply twist on and off. It can emit light in 4 different colors and has 8 lighting modes: for each color either constant light or flashing mode. Both color and light modes can be chosen by rotating the body. The mode used for more than 3s will be memorized, when you turn it on, the SD03 will start to cycle from the memorized mode by defaultAttachment points: There is a single attachment point on the tail of the light. You can use the provided lanyard. My only concern is the plastic used for the attachment point. The plastic could snap under force or if dropped. Metal would be a better option.Finish: The finish shows little wear after multiple dives.Final Thoughts:Pros:-Bright and sustainable output.-Good colors for underwater use.-Good Size. Small enough to travel with. Very lightweight.-Twist On/Off for easy use.-Includes one aaa battery-Long runtime allows for multiple dives before needing new batteries.-Adds safety to any dive-100m rated depth makes this usable to technical and recreational divers.-Good value-Great emergency backup lightCon’s:-It should come with a rechargeable 1000 mah 14500 battery.-Flashing pulse speed is not controllable. It is faster than I would prefer.-Im concerned the plastic attachment point will break. Metal would be more appropriate-There should be a white flashing option on the body like the other colors-The light is significantly brighter with a 14500 battery. AA output is dull in comparison.

Last dive season I got cavern certified. One very important lesson in that class was reinforcement of a lesson from Deep diving class, the importance of lights. I had issues. Specifically, dissatisfaction with my primary and back up dive lights as well as with my dive beacon light.Let's talk beacon lights - the light most used on the cylinder & yoke/din primary regulator connection for night dives. In my deep class I invested, at the recommendation of my LDS in a not so inexpensive 3 light kit with a HUGE "primary" that reminded me of a 12-volt camping light, a bulky back up and a puny beacon light. After 3 years of intensive diving, the only one still in my kit was the beacon light. I was in hunt of a replacement for it as it only offered a weak white light with 1 mode, on or off. As a dive master, I am often asked to lead night dives, sometimes with people who are not night dive certified. Again, after months of research, I found a solution, the OrcaTorch SD03 Dive Beacon as it offered solutions to SO many issues that I had with my basic beacon.First 4 light colors; red, blue, white, and green. Additionally, any of the colors can also strobe on and off! This made it PERFECT for a group night dive. Everyone in my group was kitted with the SD03 and we set them all to the same color - blue. As the dive leader, I set my blue light to strobe. Strobe is a strong term here. It gently glows on and off, it's not a manic flashing back and forth. This enabled my dive group to stay together AND follow me as intended. It's compact - shorter than my index finger. Light weight - no noticeable impact on the weight of a dive kit. Long lasting -literature claims of 150 hours on a single AA battery. It's also the perfect brightness, easy to spot if you're staying buddy close but not so bright as to disrupt vision at night. I highly recommend this light to anyone interested in night diving or wanting a great visual aid for dive buddy recognition.

Desafirunadamente mi opinón es mala al producto ya que tenía buenas referencias por lo que hice la compra, desafortunadamente no funcionó la lámpara por lo que la valoración es mala.Ojalá que sus estándares de calidad mejoren.
