Default Streamlight Vulcan

Has anyone tired this light as a dive light or know anything about it in
this respect?
It says waterproof to 100 feet and I'm looking at it for very occasional use
in the water, mostly for a good general purpose light I can keep in my car.

Default Re: Streamlight Vulcan

About 2 years ago I was diving at lake in oklahoma
a group of divers in the same area left one of these lights in the area
after they had completed their dive
max depth was about 35 ft
surprisingly enough
the light was flooded but still operational
i took the light home and dried it out
still worked
but did not have the recharger for it
still have the light
it you want it i will send it to you for postage
bottom line is
NO
you cannot reliably dive with this light
hope this helps

Thanks and I'll take it.
I doubt it is a Vuilcan as this is a fairly new model but we can always use
an extra light.
email m.painter@att.net and I'll send or Paypal you the money.
