Looking to buy dive lights or underwater torches in Canada? At Diving Sports Canada, the largest dive shop in the country, we carry the widest selection of dive lights and torches for scuba diving, freediving, and spearfishing. Whether you're looking for a high-lumen primary light or a reliable backup, you'll find top-quality gear in-store and online.

Why Every Diver Needs a Dive Light

Light fades quickly as you descend, even in tropical waters. A strong dive light restores colour, improves visibility, and boosts safety. Always dive with at least two light sources—especially if you're exploring wrecks, caves, or diving at night. Choose lights based on lumens, beam width, depth rating, and your type of diving.

Types of Dive Lights for Every Purpose

Primary Dive Lights: These powerful underwater torches are your main illumination tool. Many feature wide or narrow beams, multiple brightness modes, and emergency strobe settings—perfect for both recreational and technical dives.

Backup Lights: Compact and rugged, backup lights are your lifeline if your primary fails. Always store one in your BCD or wetsuit pocket on deep dives or night dives.

Emergency Signal Lights: Small but essential. These lights flash in red, green, or blue to mark divers and gear in low visibility or at the surface.

Marker Lights: Great for cave diving, wreck penetration, or group diving—they help mark entry points, lines, or your dive partner.

Video Lights: Designed for photography and videography, video lights provide wide-angle, high-lumen beams to restore colour and detail in every shot. We also carry underwater camera accessories like trays, arms, and clips to complete your setup.

Choosing the Right Dive Light Grip

Dive lights come with various grip styles—handheld, Goodman handle, pistol grip, clip-on, or lantern style. Choose based on your activity, mobility needs, and whether you're holding a camera or speargun.

Best Dive Lights by Diving Style

Scuba Diving: You'll want a high-lumen, durable torch with depth ratings up to 100m+, perfect for caves, shipwrecks, and low-light tropical or cold-water environments.

Spearfishing: Choose a focused beam with a pistol or Goodman grip to track fish quickly. Explore more spearfishing gear here.
