Diver's Needed !!

So I am thinking to myself, "Self, with so many Rolex dive watch enthusiasts, shouldn't we have a GTG that incorporated some SCUBA?" Is there an interest in this, maybe meet up in the Keys for a GTG and some fun?

Hey! Not all 'risti are afraid of the water. All mine have hit at least 100 ft. Unfortunately can't say the same for my YM, Daytona, or GMTIIc. Hmm... I guess I need a sub or sd.

I'm all in! I love my SO in every way, but she doesn't dive...

Subfiend, I agree that I've never seen a panerai on a dive boat, but I assure you my PAM 87 has had it's share of bottom time...

OMG! A Panerai underwater! That's a rare sight!

I went to Dutch long before they had the slide, but I did my deep dive for my AOW cert back in 1985. Brrrrrrrrr! Now I prefer the Caymans too. Or Florida, the Bahamas, Palau or just about anywhere else I can see and be warm too.

Well my buddy owns Horizon Divers in the Keys, and a friend of the family owns Ocean Divers across the canal. A GTG would be cool. If there are any of those HOG Divers out there, I know a cave or two we can dive.

Theyre based out of Key Largo right? I dove with them several years ago and had a great time....
