ABSTRACT:
An illuminated diving rod for use in areas or conditions of zero or low visibility, comprising a transparent tubular rod member with an angled distal tip at one end, the tip being angled from the central longitudinal axis of the rod member from about 30.degree. to about 45.degree.. A handle assembly comprising a housing, a power source mounted in the housing, a switch strip mounted in the housing and moveable bulb and reflector seat moveably mounted in the housing is secured to the opposite end of the rod member. A cover member is threadably mounted to the housing and encases and engages the bulb and reflector seat. The rod member is mounted to and secured on the cover member at its proximal end, the rod member being constructed of a high impact strength clear plastic of high light transmissivity with a central positioned light transmitting material disposed substantially along its entire length, the transparent rod member upon activation of the power source and during zero or low visibility projecting a diffused beam of light toward objects which require illumination for sighting and engagement with the angled tip.
