Need a dive light

[Blue Space]

I dive allot in the local lakes and need a light I can focus. At about 30ft it turns into a night dive with muck all around so I would think a light I can focus would be a great help. Any thoughts?

Are we talking the $40 or $1400 end of the scale?

Lets just say around $100

When Brandon says "murk," he means palpable, pea-soup-thick algae blooms in addition to the churned-up mud and other gunk. Even at depths where light penetrates, visibility can be less than three feet because of the stuff in the water. How well does the Light Cannon cut through suspended particulate matter?

Dunno how well it will perform in thick pea soup, but it is the best light out there in this price range IMHO.

I'm thinking no matter what light I buy its going to be of little help in these lakes. Oh well atleast I'll be prepared for any low viz I encounter in the sea.

On bad diving days we get crap crap viz (less than 3 ft.) on good days we have 10.....my buddy bought one of these things last year, and it performs well in crap waters. We have used it in black water dumps for search and recovery dives, and it is the only thing you can see. I am buying one before my wreck trip in August...it is the only (well maybe only) piece of equipment I am buying this year.
