You know, we can all be snide about this, but in clear, sunlit water, it can be almost impossible to see even a 21W HID unless it's flashed right in your mask. If you aren't diving in GUE class lockstep, lights aren't very useful for communication in those conditions. I think this device is intriguing, especially as I dive with a photographer whose acceptance of the whole team diving thing is grudging, anyway It is just, at this point, more expensive than I'm willing to spend to try something out.
