What should i look for in a dive torch

tombrown · 2017-07-13 08:58:12

I am a recreational diver (PADI OW & AOW) and want to purchase a torch. I dive quite regularly (2-3 times per month) , normally to about 15M, but occasionally deeper (35M). Loking for a torch for peerign into crevices, pointing out fish etc. What should I consider in my purchase? Any recommendations?

In my experience I don't like the torches where you can't replace the batteries. Should be easy to replace them yourself or just use rechargeable batteries. Most LEDs now a days use small amounts of power so you don't need something massive. Anything over 250 lumens is good , naturally the more the better.
