OrcaTorch FlexDive Canister Light
If you've ever wished your dive light could grow with your diving, the OrcaTorch Orca FlexDive is exactly that light. Built around a true modular platform, the FlexDive system lets you mix and match light heads and battery packs to suit the dive — whether that's a short recreational session, a long cave penetration, or a full-on technical mission where runtime and reliability aren't negotiable.
At its core, the FlexDive Tech Canister puts out a serious 8,000 lumens when you run both beams together — a tight 8° spot for cutting through the dark on penetration dives and a sweeping 150° flood for wide-area illumination and video work. And unlike a lot of lights that start strong and quietly fade, the FlexDive delivers constant output with no gradual dimming — what you set is what you get, right through the burn.
The battery system is where things get clever. Two pack options — the B98 (98Wh) and the B49 (49Wh) — both support USB-C and magnetic tail charging, sit under the 100Wh airline carry-on limit, and either can double as a power bank in a pinch. Swap packs in seconds between dives and get in the water.
Rated to 150 metres, with a safe-lock function to prevent accidental activation — this is a light built by divers who understand what demanding actually means.
Features:
- True modular design — independent light head, battery pack, and cable system; one platform, multiple configurations
- Dual-beam control — 8° spot beam (signalling, penetration, fine-detail inspection) and 150° flood beam (wide-area illumination and underwater photography/video), usable separately or together
- 8,000 lumen output — achieved by running both spotlight and floodlight on high simultaneously
- Constant output — no gradual dimming throughout the burn
- Two battery pack options — B98 (98Wh / 6,620mAh) and B49 (49Wh / 3,310mAh); both airline carry-on compliant (<100Wh)
- Dual charging — USB-C and magnetic tail charging on both battery packs
- Power bank function — both packs can charge other devices via USB-C
- Fast battery swapping — adapt your runtime in seconds between dives
- Safe-lock function — prevents accidental activation
- 150m depth rating
- Built for cave diving, wreck penetration, technical exploration, and underwater photography/videography

FAQs
They use the same light head and produce the same maximum output (8,000lm), but the Handheld is a compact self-contained unit (151mm, 848g on land / 365g underwater) with an integrated battery — no cables, no separate canister. The Canister (231mm, 1,243g / 630g) uses an external battery pack with a cable, giving it much longer runtimes and the option to swap packs. Handheld = convenience and portability; Canister = maximum runtime for longer technical dives.
Yes. The left switch controls the spot and the right switch controls the flood — run either independently or both together. Activating both on high gives you the full 8,000 lumen output, though runtime drops to 65 minutes at max output.
There's an LED indicator between the two switches. Green means you're above 40% battery. Solid red means 15–40%. Flashing red means below 15% — time to head up or think about turning down the output to extend your run.
If the light exceeds 48°C — which is unlikely underwater but can happen during extended use out of water — it automatically reduces brightness to protect the electronics. Underwater, water conducts heat away efficiently, so this shouldn't be a factor on a normal dive.
Yes — the H620 Goodman handle is included and fitted. The ball joint is also included, giving you angle adjustment for photography, video, or simply positioning the beam exactly where you want it without having to point your whole hand.
The FlexDive Handheld can be used in overhead environments, though many serious cave divers prefer the Canister for its longer runtimes. The Handheld's 65-minute runtime at max output and up to 10hr 25min at low spot make it a capable primary or backup for moderate penetrations. Always follow appropriate training, rule-of-thirds planning, and carry redundant lighting for any overhead diving.
