I have an UWLD that I love for ocean diving, it's a fantastic light. But TBH I don't really like it in caves of wrecks. The pattern is too broad for clear signaling in small spaces and does too good a job of spilling light everywhere.
I didn't even bother bringing it with me on a trip to MX last week. Last trip side-by-side with that and a Flare EXP (the handheld one) and I left the LD in the room for the rest of the trip. I also got to use a Focus for two days (don't fly to the new Tulum airport if there's any chance your bag won't make it with you...) and I didn't like that as much as the Flare either.
