BIGBLUE AL1300 NPGS Diving Lamp with Laser

The Bigblue AL1300 NPGS is designed for dive leaders, photographers and divers keen to share their discoveries.

Its compact size makes it very easy to handle and slip into a BCD pocket. Its rechargeable 18650 Li-ion battery provides enough power for several consecutive dives.

It combines a narrow 1300-lumen beam with a powerful green laser, which can be used together or separately. With a beam angle of 10°, it provides a concentrated beam ideal for cutting through murky water or communicating with your dive partner. Versatile, it switches easily from an exploration torch to a laser.

Diveavenue expert review

For me, this is the ultimate communication torch. What I like about this AL1300NPGS is the option to use the laser on its own: it’s extremely handy for showing something to your students without dazzling everyone else. The 10° beam is very clean, with minimal stray light at the sides. It is a reliable piece of kit that stands up well to repeated use.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is the laser dangerous to marine life ? Like any pointer, it must never be directed at the eyes of a diver or an animal. Used with care on rocks or next to the subject, it is very effective and less intrusive than a wide, powerful beam.

Is the battery easy to replace ? Yes, it uses a standard 18650 format. This means you can carry a spare in your bag for intensive diving weekends without having to wait for it to fully recharge.
