Recently on a trip, on a late afternoon dive, we lost a diver.
Intense search until midnight and several days after without luck.
The following day some of his equipment and his camera with both strobes were found.
I have no idea what safety equipment he was carrying.
Afterwards, I was thinking what I would have done in the situation and wondering ......................wouldn't it be great if you could disconnect the strobes and keep one or both
for emergency signaling. Two big powerful batteries and lights and they were in this case let go with the camera rig
probably due to weight.
Light/Motion uses wet connects for charging their lights although this may be much different technically to what is necessary to fire a strobe.
Maybe a wet disconnect at the housing allowing you to keep both strobes or at each strobe allowing you to decide in the particular situation if you want to keep both or just one. This could be an aftermarket connector between the camera housing and the strobe cable
Just a suggestion and something that, due to my ignorance, technically may not be feasible.
