I was lucky I had my 50W Hartenberger narrow beam with me.
In the clear water, an excellent means of showing divers the
right way, were to take the corner at Thomas reef to avoid
the current, or were to enter/exit the canyon.

Yes take a Torch on every diver if only a 2/4 cell cheap one. All the late
dives can turn in to a night dive if there is a problem then you have a
signal device that will work for miles( well a long way anyway).

I tend to use my small torch most of the time so it dont scare the begezus
out of every thing. The mega watt lights work very well in the uk with lots
of crap in the water. but diving in good viz they can be VERY BRIGHT.

Latest Red Sea regulations are that you carry 1 torch and 1 smb per buddy
pair, not sure whether these are being enforced though?
