Ok, now I see it Well, I've already got one, and I really find it
useless! The red dot is to small to be usefull in the water, during
the night you'll use your normal torch instead.

Thanks Lee, I couldn't find it the first time he spammed us.

It looks like (or a copy of) the Trident model. I did some T&E on
several UW lasers and this was the best bang for the buck. It nets at
$17 with a retail of $34. It is theoretically illegal to sell in the
United Snakes because consumer level lasers are required by law to have
only a "momentary on" type switch.

Bureaucrats be damned, it was still much easier using it's compression
bezel (screw tighten the top) than any fancy aluminum model with a
rubber push button that hurt your finger.

The lasers are indeed quite useful if you spend your dive pointing out
critters to newbies... outlines of scorpionfish; arrow/secretary/sailfin
blennies and other micro mini fish; light sensitive critters including
orange ball corellamorphs, etc. If you aren't a "teacher", you don't
need a pointer.

There is another use for underwater laser pointers besides teaching. ROVs
are frequently equipped with cameras that provide (at best) monocular
vision, making depth perception rather difficult. Often times an operator
will strap on a laser pointer focused some feet away from the vehicle yet
in the camera's field of vision, thus providing a point of reference.
Sometimes it even works.

Yeah, I built a dual laser pointer "framer" for a macro geek using a
Nikonos. Instead of those damaging and invasive framers, we set up two
laser pointers on a tray that was on the bottom of the Nikonos. When the
camera was just the right distance away, the dots came together in a
triangulation. The flash easily washed away the dots. It worked well.

Sounds like all you did was to take one of UW Photo Tech's "Spot Shot"
brackets and replaced the AA or AAA flashlights with lasers.

FWIW, here's a page that has some photo's of the hardware:

I believe that Fred stopped producing/selling the Spot Shot a few
years ago, but you can still find them around. Here's two of them:
