Niterider HID Dual-Beam Divelight
NiteRider has introduced a Dual Beam HID Dive Light to their line of HID dive and video lights with the power of two 10 watt HID lamps in a single compact headlamp. The headlamp is connected to the battery pack via a cable with wet connector. Depth rating for the unit is 500 feet. The 13.2 volt 4.0 Ah nickel metal hydride battery gives almost two hours of burn time with both lamps on or you can run each of the lamps separately for four hours.

The HID Dual Beam Divelight comes with a hand mount and a neoprene headband. Both options allow for a hands-free diving experience. As with all Niterider Divelights the new light includes advanced charging technology. The latest generation of chargers will top off your battery in 2.5 hours and allow for use in multiple voltages from 100v to 240v.

The HID series can be seen online at www.niteriderdive.com or by visiting any dive shop that carries Niterider products.


UK UltraCase
UK International’s UltraCases™ have long been relied upon to protect valuable equipment under the most difficult conditions. Now UK International, also known as Underwater Kinetics, has entirely redesigned its UltraCase.

Important features of the UltraCase line include new auto-venting latches (patent pending), cam action for easy operation, and a resilient silicone O-ring rubber seal keeping contents waterproof and airtight. The O-ring seal can easily withstand submersion in one meter of water, as well as seal out dust, rain, mud, humidity, sand, salt, air, ozone, carbon monoxide, and many corrosive gases.

Made out of UKtekmat 1.0TM, UK’s proprietary, non-corroding engineering grade ABS plastic construction along with a stainless-steel hinge pin reinforced for extra strength, the new UltraCases are incredibly durable. With its tough exterior, a rigid wall, and an O-ring sealed case, the UltraCase is impact resistant and hard to dent and scratch.

The materials used in the UltraCases mean that they perform in the most demanding conditions from withstanding repeated drops onto concrete to performing better under cold conditions than any other material used in injection-molded cases. Since UltraCases are less likely to break or scuff in extreme temperatures, they look attractive even after years of demanding use.

Watertight in order to protect equipment from moisture and water, UltraCases will even float if dropped overboard. A customizable foam pad allows users to shape the interior of UltraCases so that equipment fits snugly inside. UltraCases also offer a padded handle for carrying comfort and loops for padlock or security seals.

The UltraCases can be purchased through authorized UK International dealers. For more information, visit the UK International website at www.ukinternational.com.
