Bought a $200 underwater flashlight that only works in fresh water, guess where my next job was?

It died on my first saltwater inspection in Galveston. Anyone know a good brand for real marine work?

What depth rating did that Galveston light have?

Depth rating" is a funny way to ask if it was waterproof. Probably not very.

Yeah, "depth rating" is just fancy talk for how deep it can go before it fills up like a fishbowl. That Galveston light probably had a rating of "don't even think about rain." Like, a heavy dew would have been a major problem. They called it a lighthouse because it was good at catching water, not keeping it out.
