The Tek-Tite Strobe 200 or 300 is very nice and is the brightest I've seen that can be taken diving, although the screw-in-the-cap "switch" isn't always reliable and the strobe electronics seems quite fragile (I've had 2 failures).
The Jotron AQ-4 is almost as bright and much more reliable, as it uses a magnetic reed switch, has no through-the-case holes or fittings and the seals aren't manipulated during use. Also, the actual electronics seems to be more robust. I haven't had any failures with the Jotron.

Tek-Tite waterproof strobes come with a choice of dome cover colors. Clear, blue, amber, red, green and IR.
Is there an optimal color for a strobe that would catch a rescuer's eye from the greatest distance yet would indicate there my be an SOS situation?
I.e. maybe a clear strobe light could be regarded as a marker or buoy rather than someone indicating an emergency, while a red or yellow strobe light would suggest otherwise?
