I suggest you go shopping at a dive shop for divers' flashlights if you're going to explore sea caves. Sure hope you are wearing helmets too! There is a group of very serious cave divers (with SCUBA) here at my institution. I was looking at their pages to see if they listed the equipment used in their dives, but didn't see it. If you go to this location: http://magma.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0310/feature4/zoom1.html you'll see a diver with underwater flashlight attached, and an indepth discussion of how they got the photo. www.cavebiology.com <http://www.cavebiology.com/> is an interesting web site to see what's possible in this kind of (much more dangerous than it looks) underwater exploration. Of course we hope you wont' be upside down in your kayak and checking out the caves from that position. It's got to be a whole different world down there. I also note the cord in most of the photos that assures the divers of finding their way out; a real issue when you have no outside-world light to help find your way back.
