My wife and I are what most would classify as warm-water vacation divers. We typically take 1 dive vacation per year - diving anywhere between 6 and 20 times per vacation. In 6 weeks we are spending a week in Roatan at CocoView and plan on doing between 5 & 7 night dives. We currently do not have our own lights and the trip has already "stretched" our original vacation budget - and thus we don't want to spend much more on new equipment that will only get used 1 week per year.
The diveshop at Cocoview rents dive lights for $36/ea a week. I found that I can get a UK Sunlight C4 for about the same amount with shipping from LeisurePro. I would rather spend my money on something I can use again in the future than give it to the dive shop for letting me use their equipment for a week... I just don't know if the C4 will have output to be used as a primary for warm water (high vis) dives. I know that the C8 is only $15 more and it would work... however, I think it will be a much tougher sell on my wife to spend the extra $30 at this time + the cost extra batteries!
Let me know your thoughts...
Thanks,
