Scubapro announce new Nova 850 TEC
Performance, reliability, and user-friendliness are the keys to success in underwater lighting. In these categories, the new Nova 850 Tec from Scubapro excels.
Its aluminium housing makes it almost indestructible and the rotary switch makes it easy to operate. With a MOD of 300m, it is the most powerful model in the Nova range. The focus has been placed on user comfort and reliability, making it particularly suitable for demanding dives or as backup light for technical divers.
The new Nova 850 TEC is a stable single-mode dive light and delivers intense 850 lumens with a focused beam. This makes it ideal for illuminating dark areas in wrecks or hidden crevices.
An unbeatable feature is the easy twist-on/twist-off activation, which is comfortable to operate even with thick gloves. With a 100% mode, the rotary switch, and 3C-Cell batteries, it offers absolute functional efficiency with maximum reliability.
The lamp body is made of a strong aluminium housing, which makes it light, highly stable, and extremely robust at the same time. The lamp’s matt black, blue accentuated housing completes the cool “tech” look.
In addition, it offers a practical attachment point for a carabiner so that it can be securely attached to the D-ring and an over-pressure valve to release battery gases as a special safety feature.
Divers looking for a powerful, easy-to-use underwater light for night and day dives will make a smart choice with the Nova 850 TEC.

May the 4th be with you!
Oyster Diving have recently been given exclusive access to offer scuba diving courses and fun dives at Mercers Lake, a beautiful lake near M25/Gatwick in the UK.
Oyster have just launched their own dive boat ‘The Blue Pear’ to explore various parts of the lake. Divers can glide around the underwater woodland, see lots of fish and decent visibility. Out of the water divers set up in the purpose built kitting up area, unwind in a warm shower, and off-gas in the café & licensed bar.
To celebrate the start of the summer season, AquaSports and Oyster Diving have teamed up to host a Star Wars-themed open day on the 4th May.
Guests will be able to enjoy discounted tasters of various watersports including Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP), Canoeing and Sailing. Oyster Diving will be joined by Apeks and possibly other dive manufacturers to display their latest products. Demo gear will be available for qualified divers and Oyster’s sales support team will be on hand for customers with any questions.
Divers wishing to get in the water will need to book in via Oyster Diving’s website where you can also choose to hire any equipment. Non-divers and well behaved dogs are very welcome!
As well as the watersports there will also be music, food and a licensed bar. The fun starts at 10am and finishes around 4.30pm.
Please come along, wear your finest Stormtrooper or Princess Leia outfit and enjoy the fun!
