Product Information
The SeaLife Sea Dragon Duo Flash Set (model SL988) is a dual-strobe underwater lighting kit offering nearly two times the light coverage of a single Sea Dragon strobe. It pairs two Sea Dragon flash heads with diffusers, a Flex-Connect Dual Tray, and two Flex-Connect Grips, and the whole system is depth rated to 200 feet/60 meters.
Who it is for
This set suits underwater photographers who already shoot with a camera that has a built-in flash and a standard tripod mount and want to cut backscatter, eliminate shadows, and get nearly double the light coverage of a single Sea Dragon strobe. It works with SeaLife DC cameras as well as Olympus, Canon, Sony, Nikon, and other brands that meet those two requirements, making it a flexible upgrade path for divers moving from a built-in flash to a true two-strobe lighting setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Sea Dragon Duo Flash Set work with SeaLife Micro cameras?
No. The Sea Dragon Duo Flash Set does not work with SeaLife SportDiver smartphone housings, the ReefMaster RM-4K, or Micro Series cameras. It is designed for cameras with a built-in flash and a standard tripod mount, such as SeaLife DC cameras, Olympus, Canon, Sony, and Nikon models.
What batteries does the Sea Dragon Duo Flash Set use?
Each flash head takes 4 AA batteries (not included): about 150 flashes with alkaline, 250 with lithium, 500 with rechargeable Eneloop Ni-MH.
Do I need Flex-Connect Flex Arms with this flash set?
Flex Arms are optional but recommended. Because the Duo Flash Set adds a second strobe, spreading the two heads apart with Flex-Connect Flex Arms helps create even, thorough illumination of your subject instead of two lights pointed from the same narrow position.
What is included in the Sea Dragon Duo Flash Set box?
The set includes two Sea Dragon flash heads with diffusers, a Flex-Connect Dual Tray, two Flex-Connect Grips, an optical cable with adapters, two cable plugs compatible with Olympus and Sea & Sea housings, spare o-rings with a tool, an instruction manual, and a deluxe travel case.
