Can this deal be legit?

I do 95% of my diving in the daytime. You know my profile - Open Water Froo Froo diving, etc. That's a lot of money for a light.

I've built a career differentiating price vs value to companies. For me, it IS a question of price, as the value just isn't there for me and my dive profile. It might be WORTH $500 - $700, but for me, its still too much.

I am however enjoying learning abouu this stuff. We never see Canister lights in So Cal.

Lets do a dive together and I'll show you mine. Its only a 10watt HID, but you will still fall in love with it. I can't imagine diving without my light now, even in broad daylight.

I didn't realize how big this thing was until now...

I have actually never regretted schlepping my light cannon on a daylight dive. The kelp canopy gets pretty thick sometimes.

I've never regretted taking it with me. I have OFTEN regretted NOT taking it with me. Now that I think about it, the reasons it doesn't come on every dive is because its not part of the kit - its "a light..." Something I need to decide to carry with me if the dive conditions warrant it.

A canister light would be integrated into the rig, as part of the rig - so it's always there. And because of the Goodman handle (how do I get a handle named after me....?) its sort of integrated in to the diver. So it always goes, you know? Its never "do I need the light...? - should I take it on this dive.... etc."

OK, OK... I'm working myself into the value proposition.

Hmmmm....

I just happened to have two empty diet coke cans on my desk - is that thing 14" high or something?

For those of us who have never seen a stage.

Woah. I'd end up swiming in circles, like a Pelican in fishing line if I strapped that hog to my side.

I don't know if I would be strapping that thing to my harness, I'd probably just stage rig it like fido.

...or as you would say it "around 35 centimeters, mate".

does anybody know who won it?

I have 16# in the ACB (per side). Would the Canister light clip to the outside of the ACB? There's lose (not lose-lose, maybe better: available) webbing...how do these fasten to the belt? Clip, slot?

Sorry to be such a Mel, but its hard to visualize some of this stuff.

Thanks again.

I now return you to bashing O-Ring's V2
