I bought 2 of the Aurora AK-P7-4 HA-III SSC P7-C 2-Mode 900-Lumen LED Flashlight and was wondering what the waterproof worthyness of such a flashlight is? It has double seals on the battery cap and looks to be sealed everywhere else. The weakest point appears to be the clicky switch in the back which is thin rubber. Has anyone tried these types of lights underwater or diving?

I wouldn't. There probably isn't any seal around the lens.

Most lights are only considered "dunkable" only, meaning a drop in a puddle, use in the rain, and occasionally use in a swiming pool.
A dead giveaway for a light is a rubber tailswitch. With one of those, you typically cannot ever go deeper than about 10 feet before the water pressure makes the operation of the switch impossible.
