First of all - great to see you're writing here. I've had a DL30 for a while now (as well as a bunch of regular wurkkos Flashlights), but I seem to have misplaced it, so I ordered the new DL03. Got it last week, have not yet had the chance to dive with it, but seems very solid (I also got a DL08 for video but that's a separate thread ;-)).
There is one feedback though I would like to share. I was excited to see the DL03 launch as I've been scubadiving with a separate green laser which is of course less comfortable to carry just for that, and I was happy to see an integrated light. With that said, when I got it, I noticed that despite similar "specs", the green laser on this light is quite weak. I'm attaching here a photo that shoes the diff (yes, the other light is "dirty" in terms of how accurate it is, but that's only noticeable in a room, not in the water).
I have not yet tried the DL03 laser under water, but given the brightness differences, I'm expecting it to perform a lot less impressively than the Archon standalone one I have. The Archon has been extremely useful - reaching noticeable distance in water with mediocre-- visibility, and has helped me more than once to get the attention of group members getting far. I am not confident this will be the case with the DL03 with that intensity.
If you ever plan an upgrade version (V2?) - I would mostly focus on intensifying the laser.
