This is lovely confortably weighted and balanced torch. 

At 850 lumens this is a lot of light for your money and is suitable as either a primary or back up torch. 

It’s been designed with the tec or cave diver in mind so it will withstand pressures not normally associated with torches in this price range.

We especially like the bolt snap attachment point and the simplicity of design of the entire torch.  The simpler something is, the less can go wrong!

A great torch.

What Scubapro say (the technical bits!)

In underwater lighting where performance, reliability and simplicity are the keys to success, nothing beats the no-nonsense Nova 850 Tec.

This rugged single-mode dive light delivers intense 850 lumen illumination with a focused beam, ideal for lighting up those dark compartments in wrecks and hidden crevices in deep-water reefs.

The light is machined from heavy-duty aluminum so is both lightweight and built to last. It is also easy to use, with simple twist-on/twist-off activation.

The light comes with a convenient attachment point for attaching a bolt snap – usually with a short length of cave line – so it can be securely clipped to a D-ring when not being used.

Divers looking for simple yet serious underwater illumination for night dives as well as day dives will find the Nova 850 Tec a smart choice.

The rugged matte black aluminium body with blue accents offers a stealthy tech look while providing lightweight, long-term durability.
