ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for holding a flashlight or other small object adjacent to the side of the head of an underwater diver, thereby freeing the hands of the diver for other purposes, while still providing underwater lighting or other equipment. It is designed for releasable connection to head gear worn by underwater divers, and includes an element for providing support to a flashlight. The support preferably has a specific gravity of less than about one, thereby providing floatation to the apparatus and to any article which is carried by the apparatus, as well as support and orientation to a flashlight or other equipment which is carried by the apparatus. The support is connected to the head gear of a diver and to a flashlight by one or more strap which releasably engages and secures the flashlight to the support, and which strap also releasably engages and secures the support and the flashlight which it carries to the diver. The apparatus also includes a structure for orienting the light beam of a lit flashlight inwardly in the direction of the line of sight and close range visual focus of a diver when underwater. The flashlight is secured to the support at a distance away from the head of a diver in order to keep the beam of a lit flashlight from being deflected by any head gear worn by the diver.
