Thanks to Duane Gabor for sharing his informative opinion about the Orcatorch SD03 dive beacon based on his real-life experience!
" I am a professional instructor and often teach and go night diving. I saw the SD03 and had to try it out. This little guy is GREAT!
Everyone needs a tank light - even if you don't think you do. Diving at night - or at dusk - is always an additional risk. Tank lights let everyone know who is where - even if they don't have a primary light on. The problem with so many of these solutions is that they aren't very bright and they all seem to be one color.
Roll credits for the SD03- this little masterpiece gives you 3 colors and 3 colors of "blinking" light - so you can have 6 divers all independently marked on a dive. This is the perfect solution for instructors and general divers. The bonus of the SD03 is that it has a utility light built in- just in case you need an emergency light.
What I love about this light:
1) size- it's not much bigger than a very small light - watch my video and compare it to the typical tank light - the one DAN still sells. That one is great - but this one is smaller - the same price - and much more versatile - with the multiple colors
2) Battery - compatible with 1*AA battery or 1*14500 battery - easy to change and replace
3) Bonus utility light - i've never seen this feature - and everyone should have this option! Whether you use it as a tank light or merely a pocket light as a backup - it's terrific.
4) Design - it fits right in your pocket - it loops right on your hose or tank - and it's easy to pack with you on a trip. The traditional "dot" lights - they have a small pressure clip -that never every stays put - they float away. This light has a secure loop -and stays in place.
This is the most versatile tank light i've seen. "
