Hi Chris,

A number of my friends and I have been diving the caves at Akumal, Mexico 
with Sartek HID lights for almost a year now.

The lights are terrific.  The best comment on the lights came from my dive 
buddy who was assisting me with a cave class.  On a training dive he was in 
front, then two students and I was in the rear.  His comment was "I might as 
well have turned off my light because yours was so bright even from the end 
of the line".

On the other hand, I personally do not like the wet mate connectors used with 
the light heads.  Although they are really convenient, in my experience they 
are not overly reliable.  A continuous cable like we used to use with the 
halogen light heads, seems to be much less prone to failure.

I hope this helps but remember that any advice you receive from me may be 
worth exactly what you paid for it.

Take care and dive safe,          Scott

Just picked this link of another group. Anyone know anything about Sartek
 HID lights, are they any good?
