I'd get one, but they're only rated for 3500 meters.

I have one(got it off http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/lights/6536/) and it's much better then using a glow stick, because it's re usable, the flash is really bright, and it runs on a small 12v batter you can buy for $5.00. It has 7 settings flash, beacon strobe, slow strobe, SOS, pulse, 100% on, 25% on. I love it and at night my buddy can find me better if we get separated...
I've got one of the little blue ones, which I ordered from ThinkGeek as well.
There are two different models - the GloToob and the GloToob FX. The FX is the one that has the 7 different modes of operation - it'll run you a few dollars more than a standard GloToob.
It's a fun little geek toy. I use it camping - it's perfect at night in the tent to provide enough light to see what you are doing. I've dove with it a few times and it works.
I bought it more just for the geek toy aspect of it than anything though...

Deja vu, this is a cross-posting from the Deco Stop. I guess I'll make the same comment...
some of these things have been reported to leak. Don't know which models.

I have the FX and my buddy thinks it's great he can keep tabs on me when I am diving with him if I get a little ahead of him. I think it's great to have cause I am no longer spending money on glow sticks. The cost $34.95 would be the same I would pay for glow sticks in one summer of diving.

LAPOLICEGEAR has the fx for 29.95, also they have a small graph that shows you the different pulse patterns and so forth. Also they have pretty good deals on the Luminox watches compared to prices on Ebay, and a three year warranty.

Myself and my buddy bought one of the standard ones each and attached them to our BCDs. When we came to use them (about 5 to 10 dives after attaching them) both had leaked and wouldn't work. At the time we bought them they seemed a good idea but ended up being a waste of £50.
