John,

I have dived with a Blue Water light for a little over a year (I think I
described them last year on this list - check archives).  It throws a 55W
beam, and will burn for about 90 min.  It is good past 200 fsw (I can vouch
for this personally), and could probably be used as a backup hammer if you
drop your primary while working on some artifact. 

A drawback with this light are that it is not good for cave diving, since its
burn time isn't long enough.  It isn't as convenient to use with a cave reel
as a Dive-Rite/English style light which has a separate head and battery
pack.  On the other hand, I think it is better for wreck diving than a
standard cave light, since it is rugged and has no cord to entangle.  A small
problem I have had is minor leakage when I got some grit under the switch,
but this hasn't caused me any trouble recently.

You can reach Bruce at 908-234-9264.  In the New England area, Eric Takajian
of Grey Eagle charters sells them; he's at 508-362-6501. 

John

P.S. to JHC: If you want to look at mine, let me know and we can go night
diving some time.
