Flooded? Simply Clean It and Carry On Diving.
Every diver knows that a damaged O-ring or trapped hair can allow water into a dive torch. With many lights this means expensive repairs—or worse, replacing the entire torch.
The Pandora Lab K1 Rescue was designed differently.
Its revolutionary sealed light engine completely isolates the LED, driver and electronics from the battery compartment. If the battery tube floods, the vital electronics remain completely protected.
Simply remove the battery, rinse the battery compartment with fresh water, dry it thoroughly, install a fresh battery and you're ready to dive again. No burnt-out electronics. No expensive repair bills. No replacing the torch.
This innovative design makes the K1 Rescue one of the most dependable dive torches on the market and a torch you'll be able to rely on for years of diving adventures.
Integrated Rescue Marker System
The K1 Rescue includes Pandora Lab's innovative Survival Marker Paint (SMP) compartment. In the unlikely event you're separated from your boat or drifting on the surface, the fluorescent marker dye can be released into the water to create a highly visible green slick, making it significantly easier for boats, helicopters or rescue teams to locate you.
It's a simple addition that adds virtually no bulk but could make a vital difference in an emergency.
Designed for Real Diving
The focused 8–9° beam cuts cleanly through dark water, making the K1 Rescue ideal for UK diving, night dives, wreck penetration and technical diving.
Its dependable twist activation eliminates electronic push buttons, reducing potential failure points and making operation simple even when wearing thick gloves.
Modular by Design
As part of the Pandora Lab modular lighting system, the K1 Rescue can be upgraded with optional accessories to become a fully featured canister light. This allows your lighting system to grow alongside your diving without replacing the torch itself.
