I am debating if I should buy a light or not before our trip to Fiji next week. My wife and I are recreational divers (and never will be more than that). We are completing our confined water dives now at a LDS, and plan to do our open water dives while in Fiji.
I doubt that we will do night dives... but I don't know for sure. I am postive that if we buy lights, then I want disposible alkaline batteries since we will only be going on a few dive trips/year, and I do not want to deal with the "care and feeding" that rechargeables require.
Will we even need a light in Fiji? If we buy lights, should we just spend the extra money now and get a HID rather than a halogen? I was thinking that a UK light cannon might be a good choice since we have no interest in ever doing this more than at a recreational level. Does it make sense that only one of us carry a light?
If we buy lights, we will get them from our LDS. I would like to do my part in keeping the store in business, and like the way they have been treating us. Plus, in the long run, I don't think I am really paying any significant amount more.
