In opting for the Pelagos, I was also able to pay off a huge chunk of credit card debt, buy a nice pair of shoes, and put several hundred dollars towards a trip to Fiji with my girlfriend at the end of the year after flipping the Explorer 1.

Its a great feeling overall, and I'm loving everything that the Pelagos has to offer. The whole movement thing doesn't really matter to me now that I've gotten my head around it, and I feel it is at LEAST twice the bang for buck that I would've gotten with the Explorer 2 or Sub.

Bang on. Quite the epiphany eh?
