Night diving is a type of recreational diving which takes place in darkness. The diver may see more and has a different underwater experience at night because many marine animals are nocturnal and the diver is forced to concentrate on smaller, nearby objects.

There are additional hazards when diving in darkness, such as torch or flashlight failure resulting in losing vertical visual references and being unable to control depth or buoyancy, being unable to read instruments such as dive computers and diving cylinder contents gauges and separation from the rest of the diving group, boat or shore cover.

Normal precautions for night diving are to have a torch/flashlight, to use a strobe light, to avoid shining your light in other divers' eyes, to know and use surface light signals and to use a surface marker buoy with an attached strobe or cyalume stick.

M6 Lithium Tactical Light, Black, Box (PL2320B-BLK) Category: M Flashlights M6 Lithium Tactical Light, Black, Box (PL2320B-BLK) Category: M Flashlights

Reviews

Buyers be carefull with this item !!! This is not LED its Xenon which are different. The LED version have only 40 lumens and its burn time around 40 hours This is Xenon version of the same M6 flashlight which has 71 lumens but its battery burn time oly 1 hour !!! There is 2 versions of the same M6 Xenon Lithium 71 lumens 1 hour burn time LED same Lithium 40 lumens and 40 hours burn time !!!

I am in Iraq and this light is awesome. It helps me spot the "bad" guys from a ways away. Thank you Pelican.

Buyer beware; there are 2 similarly-named Pelican M6 flashlights. The one that says M6 LED does indeed have a 40-hour burn time BUT the one that says M6 Lithium has but a ONE hour battery burn time The difference in power consumption is due to the lamp being used Yes, the M6 Lithium _is_ considerably brighter but it's life=1hr! Additionally, the LED 'bulb' can withstand more abuse than Xenon, although the LED is NOT as bright as a Xenon/Lithium "M6 Lithium" The cost is approximately the same for either LED or LithiumXenon (moral: don't LEND it out, lay it not down; use included HOLSTER) INcorrect: "40 Hours Battery Burn Time" http://www.pelicanproducts.ca/Lights/2320_light.htm http://www.pelican.com/small_lights/li_2320_m6_lithium.htm both official sites specify ONE hour battery burn time. BTW you're not gonna get this kind of brightness from Streamlight PS: luckily, the CR123 Lithium batteries (two needed) are sold at PHOTO stores worldwide. I mention this because they are not items that are as easy to find (or as affordable) as alkaline AA or AAA The decided advantage of a Lithium battery: SHELF LIFE = 10 years Bottom line: you'll use a pair of ten-year batteries in ONE hour. The SHELF life is 10 years (not actual usage). Still, considering

MityLite NEMO 1900 2AAA LaserSpot Flashlight MityLite NEMO 1900 2AAA LaserSpot Flashlight

Reviews

I've used Pelican lights for years, and have always been impressed with the brightness of the light and quality of the product. A few years ago, I dropped my MityLite on in a parking lot and cracked the back end (evidently it landed just right because it'd been dropped many times before w/out issue). Although I'd had this light for several years, I thought I'd contact Pelican because it came with a lifetime warranty. The Pelican rep asked me to ship the light back to them, and they sent me a brand new replacement.

This flashlight has the virtue of being very light weight which makes it good in a purse or pocket. I am a boater so I appreciate the fact it is waterproof. Almost all waterproof flashlights have a twist on of off "switch" instead of a button or slide switch. The problem with that is that it takes two hands to turn it on. This is my main gripe with this light.

Average Rating:

Unlike conventional flashlights that have a yellowish beam, the MityLite 1900 uses a hi-intensity Xenon lamp that produces a powerful, bright beam. Use this compact flashlight to cut through thick smoke, fog, and dust...

Intova Wide Angle Torch Flashlight Intova Wide Angle Torch Flashlight

Reviews

I bought this as a backup light for diving. I took it on a three-week dive trip to Bonaire and ended up using it as my primary light on every night dive. It has a nice wide beam, which I prefer over a sharp, narrow one as it doesn't seem to startle the sealife as much as it sweeps over them. Plus, obviously, with a wider beam, you see more. It is very small, easy to pack and carry and takes "normal" batteries. My only complaint is that the on-off switch could be bigger and easier to flip...I had to pad my fingers with my wetsuit to get enough traction under water to turn it on and off. Not a big deal, but not the best design I've seen either. Great light for the money!

Awesome product. I had the brightest light on the night dive in Cozumel. Considering its small size and steel design, I think this is the winner...Takes two CR2 batteries.

Used this flashlight while diving in Costa Rica. And that is the reason I purchased this one.

This is the best light I have purchased for a night dive. It is half the price and puts out just as much as the big lights. Be careful where and how much you pay for the batteries. Intova batteries are the best if you can get them around 5.00 a pair. The batteries will last at least 5 night dives. The narrow beam Intove light is the best for day dive, batteries will last 8 dives. These lights are taking the diving world by storm and at dive shops, they want double the price. I love these lights, the are small, good on batteries and put out the best light, ambiant I think it;s called. Anyway, you won't be disappointed. Marty

Canon WP-DC13 Waterproof Case for Canon SD1000 Digital Camera Canon WP-DC13 Waterproof Case for Canon SD1000 Digital Camera

Reviews

Very well designed piece of equipment. Took it to the Caymans for its first swim and it did great. Absolutely no leaks and took excellent pictures and video at 90+ feet.

This is by far one of the best waterproof cases. I have used it many times, while snorkeling, kayaking or scuba 60ft plus dept. The quality is superior, it is made in Japan, the controls are easy to use. I would recommend this product to anybody using a Cannon Digital Elph. Make sure you rinse it out after using it in salt water.

Bought this for a trip to Hawaii. It worked exactly as advertized. Cons: Expensive, bulky, tedious to maintain, low audio volume on recorded videos as expected. Pros: works well, big buttons make it easy to use underwater, flash difuser is very useful to even out the brightness in the pictures. Overall, very pleased with the picture and video results. If you buy it, read the manual before you use it or you might screw up your camera.

The case is excellent and keeps the camera nice and dry. I went down to 100 ft and still got clear pictures. The flash diffuser works well for close range flashes. The case is very easy to use and is a good buy.

I bought this case for my 12-year-old son. We take our boat to the Florida Keys and the Bahamas regularly and he loves to snorkel wrecks and reefs. He takes excellent care of the case each time he uses it, lubricating the o-rings, carefully sealing it, and washing it when he's done. He also uses it at home in the pool with friends to make YouTube videos. It has performed flawlessly for him, exceeding our expectations. First-class product. We are really glad we bought it.

Average Rating:

With the Canon WP-DC13 waterproof case you can use your PowerShot SD1000 digital camera to take underwater photos at depths of up to 130' (40 m). Of course it is also ideal for taking worry-free pictures in the rain, at the beach, or on the ski slopes.

DIGITAL LUGGAGE SCALE Portable Light Weight Scales Postal Weigher NEW from Travelite. DIGITAL LUGGAGE SCALE Portable Light Weight Scales Postal Weigher NEW from Travelite.

Reviews

I just received and tested this luggage scale using a calibrated weight and comparing it to other known good scale. At fifty pounds this scale is about three pounds off, on the safe side but nonetheless off. I tore it apart and there is no way to adjust it. Do not trust this scale.

this is great to have so you know how your luggage weighs before to get to the airport

scale is small and easy to use. the scale is tuff on the back when you have a large bag lets say over 30 LBS

We bought and used this scale for a recent international trip to Japan. We had six check in bags and wanted to be sure that we did not incur any weight penalty charges. I proceeded to weigh each bag and fortunately decided to weigh each bag again, I say fortunately because I quickly noticed that the scales gave a different reading each time, with the weights varying by as much as seven pounds (United charge $100 if you go even one pound over). We would have been better to save the cost of the scales and use the cash towards the $85 extra bag charge.The scale is now in some landfill site as I did not want the useless weigh of this product in our luggage so chucked it in the garbage. You have been warned!

I purchased this scale for an upcoming trip to Alaska. It is very easy to use & seems accurate. The flashlight is an added bonus since packing space is at a premium. This will save having to juggle from one suitcase to the other at check in at the airport. It is small enough to fit into any suitcase for the trip. A small item, but well worth the purchase price.

BGSD Women's Lambskin Leather Scuba Jacket - Misses, Petite, Plus BGSD Women's Lambskin Leather Scuba Jacket - Misses, Petite, Plus

Reviews

close fitting jacket...not really warm....but, very stylish. just what i was looking for. xl runs true to size.

This coat was on my Amazon wish list and my wish was granted! I love this coat! It's easy to drive with because of the length. It is warm but not bulky at all. I've only had it a week but the quality seems great! Buy it!

I bought this same jacket in black last year for my daughter and it was 5 stars---excellent in every way.She wore it at least once a week with many compliments for the fit, the quality,the feel and durability. This Christmas,I ordered the same jacket for her in brown and the difference in workmanship is unbelievable. The zipper port is on a different side of the jacket and the lining material appears to have been cut on the bias or too large because it bunches in the sleeves. The lining in the back appears to have been cut too large which required a larger dart to be taken at the Back-top to absorb the excess lining material. The black jacket purchased last year when zipped appears sleek and well-tailored. The new brown jacket when zipped appears bulky and ill-fitting and one sleeve slightly longer. When I return the jacket, I hope Luxury Lane has some way of monitoring the Lot # or producer of that shipment to determine the issue. Luxury Lane's high quality of the first jacket should not be tarnished by this poorly sewn or constructed jacket.

This is a classy well made leather jacket that's really soft and elegant. Well worth the price.

very pleased. Lot the softness of the jacket as well as the fit. Luxury Lane ships fast. Could not be more pleased.

Phistic Women's Wing Collar Lambskin Leather Jacket - Misses & Petite Phistic Women's Wing Collar Lambskin Leather Jacket - Misses & Petite

Reviews

It is a stylish, classic jacket. Soft and rich looking. A good value, well worth the price.

This is beautiful jacket. The seller is great and shipping was fast(3 days). The color is different than the color pictured with this product. If you look at the other Phistic lambskin jackets sold by luxery Lane in hazelnut. They are more accurate in showing what hazelnut looks like. The picture with this product gave it a warm an almost cognac coloring when in fact it is the duller red/brown color. It is still so soft and the wing collar gives it a wonderful look.

The leather jacket is good in quality and the design fits well, however,it is a little bit short for me. This is good for someone who prefers a short jacket.

Cressi Men's Pluma Closed-Foot Diving Fin (Blue, 10/11) Cressi Men's Pluma Closed-Foot Diving Fin (Blue, 10/11)

Reviews

First pair of fins I ever owned, but I did try two other brand of fins before and the Cressi ones were the best of them. Facts about those fins: - Comfortable: the part that holds your foot is made of rubber, of the type that is soft to ensure comfort and yet won't tear off that easily. - The fins ('duck feet' part) are rather stiff and long, and help me practice surface swimming with greater ease. - Made in Italy. - good price at Amazon. As long as you are getting the right size, these fins would work great for swimming. I didn't try this fin for diving. I bought men's size 10-11 (European size, as stated on the bottom of the fins: 45/46) and I wear size 10 shoes. The fins were a bit loose on me, but were still comfortable to wear (I didn't like the previous fins of sizes 9-11 that I tried before because they 'pinched' my legs after some time). Moreover, my fins certainly do not come off my feet on their own at all when I swim - I got the right size!

Keen Genoa Peak Light Hiking Shoe Womens Keen Genoa Peak Light Hiking Shoe Womens

Reviews

I was really on the fence about what size to order since I read several reviews that said they were true to size but the on the [...] site it states that these run a half size small. I am usually a pretty solid 8 ½ and I own one other pair of Keens (Venice in leather) that are also a size 8 ½ and they fit, although it is a snug fit (meaning that sometimes the tips of my big toes touch the end when I am standing around but not enough rub or hurt). I decided to go with the 8 ½ again and they fit pretty much the same way my other pair does; they definitely fit, but with little room to spare (this is with typical athletic socks on). If I were to order them again, I would go up a ½ size just for the extra roominess. [...]. These shoes are like a heavy sneaker and are a little stiff across the top and do take a little breaking in to loosen them up (although they did not hurt my feet straight out of the box), they just get more comfy as you work the leather a little. I have them in coffee/scuba and they are very cute and look good with both jeans and shorts.

MICRONET Microfiber Towel MICRONET Microfiber Towel

Reviews

1. Yes, when wet, it does feel like a wet towel. The good this is, you will obviously see the dry parts of the towel and use that dry portion. Try that on a regular towel. I did it with my white regular towel and it can not happen. 2. Yes it does not give you the warm, hugging you feeling when you wrap it around yourself just like a regular towel would. But I accept this. 3. It does dry fast, no stinky smell, no commercial or "technical" smell. I think it's great especially for travelers like me. At home, I still go with regular towels. Btw, I say get Large as minimum. I was indecisive to get the Medium. I'm happy I got the Large for it's similar size to a regular towel. I think anything smaller is too small. I think a Medium will be hard to wrap and keep around your waist.

I wouldn't use this around the house but on a deployment where you need to pack light and space is limited this is PERFECT. It folds down very small, this will take almost no space in my 72 hour travel pack. It does do an adequate job of drying you and itself dries fast. I'm real tempted to buy another before I go. I would not buy anything but an XL though, I'm sure it takes up the same amount of space as the smaller ones. MICRONET Microfiber Towel

This towel is very light and compact, yet large. It's not very pleasant to use, being very thin and 'sticky' but will dry you off after a shower or swim and dries quickly. The mesh stuff sack is nice too. Also bought an Aquis crepe towel which feels much more like a real towel but is more than twice as bulky. I'll probably use the Aquis for traveling and save this one for backpacking and emergencies.

Great product and well worth the expense. This is a generously sized towel that is both lightweight and compact. The folded size is slightly larger than a high quality washcloth folded square. If you're looking for a great towel that won't take up much packing space, look no further. The XL size towel is roughly the same size as a beach towel. I've purchased four of the Micronet Towels in both Large and Extra Large sizes and have been incredibly impressed at their durability and shape/size retention... even after a year of daily use and regular laundering.

It is amazing that a towel this compact can get you completely dry -- and the towel itself dries very quickly. Perfect for traveling. If you're an average-sized person, the Large should be plenty big.
