Top 10 Best Scuba Diving Lights
for September 2023

The wurkkos DL30 is a powerful, well built, and waterproof dive flashlight. The 3340 li-ion battery is removable and rechargeable, so there's never any need to buy new batteries. The built-in battery level indicator lets you know when it's time to charge it again, and the output level can be switched between high, medium, and low. The housing is made of plastic, but it's sturdy and feels well built. The DL30's beam is wide and striking, and it's bright enough to be used for outdoor activities. The included holster is well designed, and it has a pocket clip for attaching it to your jacket or belt. The housing has a rubber coating, which makes it waterproof to IPX-8, and it's designed to float, so an accidental drop won't damage it. The DL30's beam is bright and sharp, and it's capable of reaching up to 220 meters, making it a good choice for both underwater and surface diving.

The Sofirn SD05 3000lm is a powerful, waterproof, and bright diving flashlight. It packs three bright LED colors (white, red, and blue lights), and it has a 100m beam distance. It's rechargeable, and the built-in battery lasts for up to 50 hours. The SD05 comes with one rechargeable battery and a USB charger. There's also a magnetic ring that lets you switch the flashlight on and off and adjusts the brightness. The Sofirn SD05 3000lm is well-made and waterproof, but it's bulky and heavier than other diving flashlights we reviewed. The rotating ring takes a while to get used to, and it's tricky to turn the light off once it's on, since you have to twist the ring in the opposite direction. We also wish the USB port were on the side of the light, not the end, because it's harder with a diving mask on. But given the price, the Sofirn SD05 3000lm is worth considering as a versatile, powerful flashlight.

The OrcaTorch D570-GL is our favorite 2-in-1 diving safety light because it's very bright and the beam is sharp. It has two buttons on the side, one for turning the light on and off and another for setting the beam. The button for setting the beam is double-headed, so you have to press it twice to turn the light on and off (but it's easier to press once and hold it). The button for setting the beam is a little bit awkward to use, but the light has a focusable beam and both white and green lights. The button for turning the light on and off is large and easy to find and press, and the light is easy to focus. The side button switch makes it very easy to turn the light on and off. The beam is adjustable as well, and you can focus the white light from 8 degrees to 40 degrees. The green light is 1000 meters wide and 10 degrees focused, and it's bright enough to see 150 meters underwater. The OrcaTorch D570-GL has 1000 lumens of white and green light, which is brighter than our previous pick, the ORCATORCH D570-TP. The OrcaTorch D570-GL costs $70, which is more expensive than our previous pick, but the OrcaTorch D570-GL is brighter, has focusable white light and green light, and it's waterproof up to 100M, so it's a better choice for diving instructors.

The wurkkos DL40 5000 Lumen Dive Flashlight is bright enough to illuminate large areas underwater, and its magnetic side switch is easy to operate. The diving light is also powerful, with 5000 lumens of bright light. However, the wurkkos doesn't have very good battery life; in our tests, it lasted only 3.4 hours on high, 9 hours on medium, and 28 hours on low. The included rechargeable battery is charged via a Micro USB port, which is convenient, but it's difficult to remove it from its charger. The charging cable is also short, so you can't charge the battery while it's in the flashlight. The wurkkos also has a fairly long charging time, making it unsuitable for long dives. The wurkkos is also rather bulky, so it's more difficult to fit in a dive bag. However, the wurkkos 5000 Lumen Dive Flashlight is durable and well-built, and it's a good buy for divers who want a powerful dive light.

The Wurkkos DL70 is a high-powered, hands-free diving light, suitable for both recreational and professional divers. It's super bright, with a maximum output of 13,000 lumens, and it has a dual beam function, with a 5-watt white LED and a 10-watt blue LED, giving you a total of 30 lumens. The wide beam is bright enough to illuminate a 150-foot (45-meter) underwater area, and the narrow beam, which is focused with a 3-inch long light cone, casts a 30-foot (9-meter) beam. The DL70 has 4 lighting modes: high, medium, low, and strobe. The flashlight has three power levels, from low to high, and the light turns off in 30 seconds if you press the power button once. The flashlight's body is waterproof to 100 meters (330 feet), and it's IPX8 rated, which means it can withstand being submersed in water for a period of time. The flashlight is rechargeable via two 18650-sized batteries, which are not included in the package. The battery compartment has a waterproof seal, and the batteries can be charged directly in the flashlight. The flashlight has a charging indicator light, and the battery indicator light flashes when the batteries are low.

The ORCATORCH D550 dive light is an excellent choice for beginner and intermediate scuba divers, thanks to its bright 1000 lumen output, long runtime, and portability. The dive light is also durable and well-made, and its small, compact shape makes it easy to transport. This dive light provides high output, making it a great tool for night dives. However, it's not the brightest dive light we've seen, and it's a bit on the small side. The dive light's battery runs out quickly, and there's no way to extend the life of the battery, so you'll always need to have another one on hand. The D550 is also a little heavy, so it's best for snorkeling instead of diving.
