I need some glowsticks for a dive. Can I just pick up any ole glo stick or does it need to be a specialized underwater one as not to pollute anything?

Gary D.:
k next stupid question. where can I buy some
Zippsy:Actually, that's a very good question. Here's a stupid answer though: make sure you don't buy used ones.
Why not? They last longer without changing brightness.

Another dumb answer: the army surplus shops on South Bridge Road above the hawker centre. A better answer: Do you have any army surplus or camping stores near you? Try them.newdiverAZ:
p.s. - good one Gary.

Target stores (in CA at least) have them in either the camping or automotive sections reasonably cheap.

Like at da store!!!
hehehe
Check with local hardware stores and party supply places. They shouldn't be more than a couple of bucks each and be good for around 12 hours. Some longer some shorter.
Be careful with military surplus. Take extras because they may not all work.

If your dive shop doesn't have them a camping/outdoors type place might (and maybe cheaper.)
If you're going to use these often enough you might think about getting one of the little battery lights meant as glowstick replacements. You can get them mailorder for $10, glowsticks are usually at least $1 apiece. (Should you ever find yourself in Bonaire, they long ago banned chemical glowsticks because of litter and pollution concerns.)
