Is It Safe To Take A Rolex Diving While on Vacation?

Why yes it is........

Diving in Bonaire this week. I am going to try and take you guys along with me. Beautiful weather and conditions on day 1 of diving. Here are a few pictures of the day's dives.......I hope you enjoy

A Porcupine Puffer trying to hide from me under a ledge


A feeble attempt at an 'over/under' shot


My Modified 16610LV posing for a pic near a sea anemone




Peacock Flounder


A poisonous Brittle worm


A Spotted Eel


Now He's trying to steal my watch!!




A Juvenile French Angel Fish


Doing its job


I found Dory (Blue Tang)

Amazing! I haven't dive since 2002! Working in the Cayman island destroyed my passion for diving,talk about getting burnt out.

I think it depends what environment you dive and how much you care about the watch. For bluewater stuff...no problemo. Tech diving...your watch is going to get beat to ever living hell. Dark gnarly metal wrecks, multiple tanks and shackles banging into everything, etc. As it is my dive computer looks like it got thrown out of a moving car.

Never the less, kudos and wonderful pics!
