How many of you really dive ???
Just wondering, I have a SD good for 4000 feet and unless I drop it off the side of a cruise ship it will be deeper than 12 feet. I bought because I love the style. Again, I know a few are real divers, but how many are like me. Be Safe JIM

It all depends on what type of diving your talking about.

I skin dive and want to get my SCUBA open water certification so I can really dive. I like to get down and pull myself along rocks and stuff so I wear my Luminox seal diver for that. I would hate to bang up the Sub that much. I scraped the bezel on the Nox this summer pretty good and boy was I relieved that it wasn't the Sub

I'm an SSI certified diver. I only have 8 or so logged dives. I guess you could say I'm not a hardcore diver.

Quite a number of dives with my 5513. Everything short of decompression diving. It's why I bought the watch — to dive with it.

Now on a serious note, I'm certified thru PADI, certs include; open water, advanced open, rescue and master diver.

Being an active full-time firefighter, we get re-certified yearly on SCBA.
Probably logged over 1000 hrs using Scott 4.5 and Msa Firehawk breathing apparatus.

I've had my certification for the past couple of years. That's me gearing up for a dive in the Florida Keys this past spring. I added a Sub to my collection this weekend and I'll be wearing in on my next dive.

I do dive but don't wear a rollie.
I have a Panerai Submersible that's better suited for the job.

I am certified and so is my Sea Dweller. It accompanied me during all of my OW and AOW classes and has been on some neat trips with me also

Hi, I am PADI Open Water certified with 11 dives in my logbook (only dive during summer vacations). In the last 4 dives in Cozumel-Mexico I took my brand new Sub Date with me. The deepest dive was 28 meters. I know it is less than 10% what the Sub can stand, but... it is better than bathtub diving.
Dive, dive, dive and enjoy life,
Manuel
