Hi Stu,

I know this is an old post...but as I have yet to buy a torch, I wondered if several months down the line you would still recomend your Aquatec bargain from Vobby!!?

I've seen torches for £100s - but can't justify that...and i know I haven't done a night dive yet...but I'd love to!
- anyway, from watching you guys, torches are good for other stuff !

Yes would still recomend this torch.

Is quite powerful for a small torch and batteries seem to last ages.

You can have a look at mine or sharpy's next time you see us.

Hi Stu,

thanks....! I'll see you Friday on the Lundy trip...so maybe could see it then?! ...

There is so much out there on the market, it's quite confusing...likewise knives/line cutters - you were going to show me that too...!

Once I know what I'm buying I can shop around a bit!

See you Friday....really looking forward to it!- thanks!
