Kind of have a range of different lights but nothing seems to last forever usally we just buy some cheap lights and if they die then just buy another one.

Rawz,
Angie and PJ will see you right up there.. Currumbin is a great spot too.
As for lights, I use a couple of clip on rear cycle lights, just small ones, then I tape em up round the joints and so far they're doing well, even after a few dunkings..
The trick is to wear em on your cap, that way if you do go in, they're only very briefly underwater...
Be warned though, the GC training crew are a bit quick :-)
