Today, we're diving deep (pun intended) to compare two feature-packed handheld primary dive lights: the newly released (2025) Orcatorch D920 and the tried-and-tested Shark Artemis. Whether you're a serious recreational diver or a seasoned technical diver, having a reliable light source underwater (especially in UK conditions) is crucial. A powerful and reliable dive torch will make such a difference to what you see and how you feel.

The new Orcatorch D920 promises to be popular with serious recreational and technical divers as an alternative to corded canister torches. With runtimes ranging from 1.5 to 35 hours and a brilliant 5000-lumen turbo output, this 6500K light incorporates magnetic charging, 4 light modes, LED power monitor, low power protection and mode memory function.
