Im in a bit of a bind...My canister light is being fixed right now, and i have a night dive planned for tonight. I have a C8 pistol light which i will use for my primary, but will a maglite be ok for a backup light?
maglite

You don't have any Scouts? or scout look a likes? I dont think a mag light is water proof... Twist type, bulb not overdriven, stowed on harness is what you are looking for as far as the DIR answer
diverryan:
Yeah, but would you be willing to bet your safety, possibly even your life on the hope that a decidedly not engineered for scuba use light wouldn't flood?
Not me.
They are "Waterproof" but they are not very reliable at all. I've flooded a number of maglites.
Stop at a local sporting goods store and buy a Princeton Tec 40.

Maglight. Overpriced lighting from the 909. Resist.
Go to Home Depot and get a Pelican or something if you need it now. I recommend the Photon Torpedo. Cheaper than the Scout and more robust.
