Beam angle is important, the GoPro shoots 170o so you want to try to match it so you don't get dark circles around your subject.
Two lights would be optimal for overlapping coverage. 2500 lumens is midrange fish scaring power.

And I don't even work for them...lol

DiverSteve is right. At a 140 degree beam angle producing 2500 lumens each the Galaxy is the light to go with for serious underwater video. Take a look at the attached page from our latest catalog. You can see two Galaxy lights mounted on the camera that won its owner "Best Underwater Video in Spain" for 2014.
