MaxBeam Australia stocks a specialist range of underwater torches for scuba, freediving, cave exploration, and underwater photography. All models carry depth ratings from 100m to 300m, so you have reliable illumination wherever your next dive takes you.
Every diver should carry a primary and a backup torch. Your primary is a high-output, wide-beam unit designed to illuminate your surroundings at depth. A backup is compact enough to clip to your BCD or harness — an essential safety item for any underwater excursion, not just night dives.
We specialise in OrcaTorch — one of the most trusted names in the scuba community for build quality, accurate depth ratings, and value. We also stock submersible torches from Nitecore and Acebeam, all with Australian warranty support and shipped from our Melbourne warehouse.
Q: What depth rating do I need for recreational scuba?
Recreational diving typically reaches a maximum of 40 metres. A torch rated to 100m gives you a comfortable safety margin — all primary models in our range meet this minimum standard.
Q: What separates a purpose-built dive torch from a waterproof torch?
A waterproof torch (IP68 rated) handles incidental submersion. A purpose-built underwater torch features pressure-rated seals, locking switches to prevent accidental activation at depth, and often near-neutral buoyancy — purpose-designed for sustained use underwater.
Q: How many lumens do I need for night diving?
For recreational night dives, 1,000–2,500 lumens is typically sufficient. For cave exploration, underwater photography, or murky conditions, 2,500–5,000+ lumens is recommended. Beam angle matters too — a wide flood suits photography while a tighter spot beam suits navigation.
Q: Are OrcaTorch lights suitable for freediving?
Yes — several OrcaTorch models suit freediving due to their compact form, reliable depth ratings, and simple one-hand operation. Contact us for a recommendation based on your target depth and use case.
Q: How do I maintain my torch after a saltwater dive?
Rinse thoroughly in fresh water immediately after use. Inspect O-rings regularly and apply O-ring grease before each session to maintain the seal. Store with a partial charge if putting away for an extended period.
Q: Do you stock spare O-rings and accessories?
Yes — we carry accessories for the brands we stock. Contact us via phone, WhatsApp, or live chat and we can advise on compatible parts for your specific model.
