Ikelite DS161 Underwater Substrobe + Video Light with NiMH Battery and Smart Charger (USA)
B&H # IK4061US MFR # 4061US
The strobe has a power rating of 160 watt-sec and a guide number of 38-76' at ISO 100, depending on whether you're underwater or above water. It provides a wide 90° angle of coverage, which is increased to 100° when you add the supplied diffuser for softening the light output. The 4800K color temperature is even warmer than daylight and restores hues that get absorbed underwater, bringing vibrancy and color accuracy back to your images.
When combined with a compatible TTL system, the DS161 automatically adjusts brightness to provide ideal TTL flash exposure--whether you're shooting at macro, portrait, or wide-angle focal lengths. Manual exposure mode is also available to give you greater control. The strobe is equipped with an Ikelite ICS-5 bulkhead connector, which is also present on many Ikelite underwater camera housings, and requires a sync cord. Additionally, you can use the optional #4401 Fiber Optic Adapter to convert the bulkhead to a fiber-optic cable port for manual exposure.
The NiMH battery pack features 7.2V of output power and a 3300mAh capacity. It provides up to 225 full-power flashes per charge, with a recycle time of 1.5 sec.
The bright, concentrated, 5W LED aiming light provides ample illumination for use as a focusing aid or a nighttime dive light. The LED turns off and on when the strobe is fired, keeping your photos free of bright spots.
"It works great in my pool....Just upgraded from a DS160...I am now using a smaller Ikelite rig with a compact Canon G1X mark 2....I have been using Ikelite ever since and have never been unhappy with their products."

The DS-51 offers 50 watt-seconds of power in a compact size with coverage adequate for lenses as wide as 28 mm, or add the included diffuser for wider coverage and softer lighting. Combine multiple strobes to cover very wide angle lenses with minimal illumination of particles suspended in the water.
The DS-51 operates TTL when connected by an appropriate sync cord to some Ikelite housings. Alternatively, the DS51 provides a manual exposure mode with six manual power settings in one-half f-stop increments for precise illumination of subjects.
For even more precise control the DS-51 can be connected to The Manual Controller. This provides ten power settings in half/stop increments. The Manual controller can operate as a wireless sensor triggered by another strobe, or it can be connected by one of the Ikelite sync cords.
"Easy maintence....Great for travel...After using DS125 for several years I bought the DS51 because I wanted a smaller strobe for my macro work and I must say that I fell I love with this little strobe....A couple of things I like about this light are: it uses AA rechargeable batteries, and it is small and light ideally for traveling."

The strobe features easy and versatile slave TTL functionality, so it is not necessary to manually adjust output. It is compatible with any camera that has a pre-flash and a TTL flash exposure function. The supplied diffuser softens the YS-03's light to prevent backscatter, glare, and hard shadows, resulting in better illumination and more evenly exposed images. The only control is the rotary power switch, making the flash extremely simple to operate.
The YS-03 features a guide number of 65.6' / 20 m at ISO 100 and a beam angle of 100 x 100°, or 110 x 110° with the diffuser. Its color temperature is a daylight-balanced 5600K, or 5250K when using the diffuser. It's powered by 4 AA alkaline or Ni-MH batteries.
"Works well....AWESOME BUY!!...So, it took a bit of work but I was finally able to get the housing and strobe to work together, but I have to say the result was worth it; Test pictures that I have taken so far using the strobe have come out great....I used it in salt water and clear water."

The YS-01 is powered by 4-AA batteries. You can get up to 330 flashes at full power with NiMH batteries. With NiMH batteries you will get a blazing fast 1.9 second recycle time, so you will not miss all the action on the reef. The YS-01 has a bright 1W LED target light, that is bright enough to use as a dive light on night dives.
An external flash is your most important accessory. The ocean is one big, blue filter. As you descend, the reds and oranges quickly become muted shades of blue and gray. Using a color corrected strobe light will bring back your subject's natural color.
"Good strobe....Easy to use....But, I love what this little strobe accomplishes for my recreational use and I am Lighting Up the World Below!...I must say that I am enjoying my S&S YS-01 just as much as my YS-17."

ULTRAMAX ULTRAPOWER UXDS-3 Digital Underwater Strobe Head with Diffuser
B&H # ULUXDS3HED MFR # UXDS-3-HED
LEDs indicate power level, low battery, and whether or not the flash is ready. The UXDS-3 runs on 4 AA alkaline or NiMH batteries, which are available separately and are housed in a compartment that's completely isolated from the electronics in order to prevent water damage to the strobe if the compartment is accidentally opened or batteries are changed when the unit is still wet from a dive. Additionally, the strobe has a durable housing made of corrosion-resistant polycarbonate. The supplied diffuser widens the UXDS-3's angle of coverage to 100° and softens its light to prevent backscatter, glare, and hard shadows. The strobe head is equipped with a standard YS connector for mounting onto an optional lighting arm.
"Very powerful....All around no complaints....Bottom line is for someone who is on a budget for building an underwater rig a light is really important and this can get the job done....5 stars because it does evrrything I could want for cheaper than most strobes."
