M2 Waterproofness?

[**DONOTDELETE**]

I am new to this forum and SureFires in general. I recently purchased a M2 with the hopes of using it for scuba diving. I have heard some people have had problems with leakage. Has anyone here had any leakage problems? Any other comments would be appreciated? Thanks

I have taken my M2 down to almost 9ft in a swimmingpool. No leaks - not even vapour. The momentary-on TailCap switch is perfectly safe to use underwater, so the M2 doesn't have to stay on. It been underwater for about 2 hours total, and it's a superb flashlight. The SureFire beam is excellent underwater - for when you really need white light!

Before any dive, you would of course check all the 'o' rings for dirt or damage, and I have used a very small amount of silcon grease to lube them after cleaning. Very small amount mind - the metal has to make electrical contact so just grease the 'o' rings.

Paul Kim at SureFire has suggested to me that the M2 is a great flashlight to take diving. People have been diving with it for a year now with no problems.

If you or anyone else has leaks underwater, I urge you to contact SureFire Customer Service as this should not happen.

Enjoy your diving!
