Dive Lights – Are They Only for Seeing in the Dark?
Dive lights are necessary for scuba diving in dark environments like the ocean at night.

This could not be further from the truth. People seem to be “afraid” to get into parkour the same way that they are afraid to get into any extreme sport, such as rock climbing or hang gliding.
