Just one quick comment on the "dive light" remark. I believe that another part of being safe for use in a hazardous environment is that the case itself will not make sparks. If you make a dive light out of stainless steel, it might survive in the water, but might still make sparks if struck against the wrong material.

But then again, all dive lights that I have seen are plastic, which is 100% safe.
