Farallon underwater light

Used for lighting under water, but also a multitasker. In her book An Adventurous Life, Valerie shares that when once briefly left alone to mind equipment in the Empty Quarter between Yemen and Saudi Arabia, she was approached by a worrisome group of men. She picked up this light, prepared to fight her way out if needed.
