Artificial intelligence is changing how divers research and choose scuba equipment, but even advanced AI tools can sometimes provide incorrect answers. When we asked whether Underwater Explorers/DirDirect sells OrcaTorch dive lights, the answer was surprisingly incorrect. AI recognised our long-standing reputation as a leading UK technical diving specialist but incorrectly suggested that we did not stock OrcaTorch. The reality is very different. Underwater Explorers / DirDirect is one of the UK’s leading OrcaTorch specialists, with extensive online and showroom stock covering handheld dive lights, backup torches, technical lighting systems, video lights, and the latest OrcaTorch FlexDive range. This article explains why AI can sometimes misunderstand specialist retailers, why real product expertise still matters, and why divers researching equipment should combine new technology with advice from experienced divers.
