The underwater world is fascinating and mysterious, but it can also be dangerous, especially in poor visibility. To ensure safety and facilitate navigation, divers often use flashing lights, or “diving strobe light". These lights serve as beacons, which helps you navigate and mark important places, such as the entry/exit point.
Which flashing light to choose?
Several factors should be considered when choosing a flashing light:
- Brightness: The brighter the light, the better it will be seen in low visibility conditions.
- Blinking mode: Different lights have different flashing modes. Choose the one that you find most comfortable and easier to see.
- Battery life: Make sure the battery life of the light is long enough for your diving needs.
- Durability: The light housing must be resistant to pressure and shocks.
- Fastening type: Choose a light with a convenient and secure mounting method so that it can be attached to your equipment.
Why use flashing lights at the rope in low visibility conditions?
In conditions of poor visibility, the rope may be the only point of orientation. By adding flashing lights to the rope, you will:
- Improve visibility: The lights will help you see the rope better and follow it.
- Make navigation easier: The lights will help you navigate and determine the direction.
- You will increase security: The lights will make you more visible to other divers and vessels.
Additional recommendations:
- Use multiple flashing lights to increase visibility.
- Place the lights at different heights so they can be seen from different angles.
- Check the light batteries regularly and replace them if necessary.
Remember, safety comes first! Using flashing lights can greatly improve your safety and make it easier to navigate underwater, especially in low visibility conditions.
