No, the one in your link is not Princeton Tek Aqua Strobe, so you may try 
and find one.  It runs on 1AA, and constant light Sport Flare runs on 2AA. 
Both are rated at IPX8 immersion level, which is same or better as marine 
handheld VHF. Btw, next one the store list (sthe stick called PFD Safety 
Light) looks exactly like my ACR with Fresnel lens. Sometimes this stick 
comes with a suction cup (so the stick foes into the cup, and cup is 
attached to the deck, annoying the paddler).

Princeton is a good brand. Check their Scuba section:
