Your dive torch isn’t just another bit of gear. It’s your eyes in the dark. Your guide through a silted wreck. Your lifeline when the sun’s gone and the bottom drops out.

At Dive Lantern, we don’t just design torches. We use them - on night dives, cray hunting, reef photography missions, and post-storm dives in near-zero vis. Every torch we sell is tested right here in Western Australia, in real-world conditions.

What Is a Scuba Diving Flashlight?

A scuba diving flashlight is not just a waterproof torch. It's a purpose-built light designed to handle pressure, perform in low visibility, and work reliably in the harshest underwater environments. Whether you're doing a shore entry in a river mouth or descending into a shipwreck 30 metres down, this is the light that gets you back safely - and lights the way to the best parts of the dive.

Why a Properly Designed Dive Torch Matter

Reliability at Depth

Depth kills the pretenders. Cheap lights might survive the first 10 metres, but beyond that, pressure builds and flaws show. A real dive torch is pressure-rated, tested, and sealed to keep working when you're 30 metres under.

All Dive Lantern torches are IPX8 rated and tested beyond recreational limits to 100m. If we won’t take it diving, we won’t sell it.

Beams That Cut Through the Murk

Water is brutal on light. It absorbs light much faster than air, scatters particles, and turns your average flashlight into a blurry glow. That’s why beam angle matters. A tight 8 to 12 degree beam punches through low vis. A wide 100 to 120 degree beam floods a scene perfectly for photography and video.

Our Focus 3000 gives you the best of both. Switch between a tight spotlight for the open ocean or murky water, to a wide beam when you need to light up a cave, swim through or inside a wreck.

Power That Lasts the Dive

You need light that’s as ready as you are. Dive Lantern torches use high-performance LEDs and long-life rechargeable batteries to give you consistent, reliable power. No cutting out half way through your dive, no overheating. Just rock-solid performance, dive after dive.

Switches That Work With Gloves On

Ever tried to fumble a tiny button with 5mm gloves? Not fun. Our torches use large push button switches designed to work even with thick or dry gloves, muddy fingers, or cold, clumsy hands. 

Built Tougher Than You Think You'll Need

Aluminium housings. Double O-rings. Impact-resistant lenses. Saltwater-rated finishes. We build these torches to take knocks, survive drops, and laugh at salt and sand.

Why Divers Trust Dive Lantern

Because we build the lights we dive with. We’ve dropped them, drowned them, frozen them in winter swells, and kicked them into the sand. And we’ve brought them back to the surface still working, still bright.

Our torches aren’t made to sit on a shelf. They’re made to get wet, get knocked around, and light up the parts of the ocean that only divers get to see.

Best Dive Lantern Torches by Dive Type

Night Diving

Best Pick: Beacon 2000

Why:
 Night dives demand reliability, simplicity, and focused illumination. The Beacon 2000 delivers a 2000-lumen narrow beam that cuts clean through darkness without blinding your buddy. Long battery life, magnetic charging, and one-handed control make it the ideal companion after sunset.

Wreck Diving

Best Pick: Focus 3000

Why:
 Wrecks demand adaptability. Inside tight spaces, a wide beam lights up a large area. In open holds and corridors a narrow beam punches through the water into the depths of the wreck. The Focus 3000 does both, with an adjustable beam and 3000 lumens of output - perfect for precision and exploration.

Crayfishing

Best Pick: Nano 600 and Nano RED 

Why:
 Crays don’t love bright white light. The Nano RED helps you spot them without spooking them. Its narrow beam reaches into ledges and crevices, and its compact size makes it easy to attach to a mask, Cray loop or spear gun. Robust, focused, and effective.

Murky or Low-Visibility Diving

Best Pick: Beacon 2000

Why:
When visibility is bad, you need power and precision. The  Beacon 2000's narrow beam cuts through haze and particulate like a laser, letting you stay oriented. The focused beam angle reduces reflection and backscatter. 

Underwater Photography

Best Pick: Mantis 2500

Why:
 Photos need true colours, soft light, and control. The Mantis 2500 delivers all three. With red and UV modes, high CRI for colour accuracy, and strobe sync capability, it’s built for everyone from GoPro to DSLR shooters who want their footage to look as stunning underwater as it does topside.

Video Filming

Best Pick: V7000

Why:
 Filming wide scenes requires even, shadow-free light. The V7000 offers a wide 120-degree beam and 7000 lumens of soft, high-CRI output. Perfect for capturing natural-looking reef scenes, caves or wrecks. It is also magnetically rechargeable, easy and quick to charge between dives on liveaboards.

Backup or Travel Torch

Best Pick: Core 1000

Why:
Small, powerful, and dependable. The Core 1000 fits in your BCD pocket, charges via USB-C direct into the battery, and pumps out 1000 lumens. It’s ideal as a backup, travel-friendly main, or for instructors and new divers who want reliability without bulk. 

First Dive Torch

Best Pick: Core 1000

Why:
Powerful enough to use as a primary, but compact enough to comfortably stow in a pocket.  It will take you from your first night dive all the way through your diving journey.  If you decide to upgrade down the track it’s an ideal backup with it’s compact size.  The USB-C charging means you’ll never be without a charger.
