all i will say , and ive said plenty of times before ,,, if you really want to go dive with a sub , at least put a lanyard on it , only a couple of quid , but what a fantastic back up for a spring bar etc. |

Why would anyone take mechanical watch to scuba dive dive while more capable dive computers with depth sensor, compass, etc are better suited in those situations. Probably just to say my DSSD is woth 1000x more than your Suunto.

I wear mine diving and I have used it as a backup when my computer flooded. The main reason I wear it diving is simply that I like to wear it when I travel and I believe it is safer on my wrist than hidden in my bag on a boat, in a hotel safe or anywhere else I would put it if I take it off my wrist.

If you dive tables you only need a timing device and a depth gauge. There are still some old school divers around that prefer a watch and gauge. Less than 15 meters my Petrels don't leave the house.

I'm not so extreme. I roll the cuff of my wetsuit over the watch for entry and exit. Then roll the cuff back during the dive. The high risk time for the watch is always either the surf zone or the splash off the boat, and the wetsuit protects the watch pretty well from the surges.

I've gone just short of about 4 feet and that is not even an exaggeration!
For me that was incredible and I kept my eyes open the whole time too! I'm much more of a drowner than a swimmer.

Deepest I have been is 100 feet. As for why people wear mechanical watches, well there is something to be said for redundancy if a diver computer fails. Has not happened to me yet, but would rather be prepared that SOL.

This sounds ridiculous, but somehow I can't bring myself to get my 4000 wet. I try, but I can't do it.

a - Some of us dive few times a year when we get some beach time. That means spending money on something I will not use much. Every time I have to learn how to use it (they are not as simple as they look) b - I've seen divers struggling to use it when we were down and that thing wouldn't stop beeping, diver distracted and bouncing off people and corals ... very annoying. c - Build the caracther of our beloved Rolex's Some may not agree, but those are facts in my world... |
