I've not had problems with leaking and the flashlight has accompanied me on scuba dives to ~60ft on a wreck dive. Make sure they are not too loose - the top should be screwed in as much as possible without turning it on. A bit of silicone grease on the O ring is not a bad idea. When I first used the flashlight on a dive, we were going into some pretty murky water. Visibility was quite poor and we were having problems seeing around on our way to a wreck (Georgian Bay, Lake Huron). I had screwed the flashlight top down to where it was _barely_ off - once we got to about 30ft depth, the pressure from the water pressed the top down enough to turn on the flashlight in my mesh BC pocket. As a result, there was a bright light shining back behind me. After the dive, the other divers thanked me for providing a light for them to follow! :-) Mike *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
