How low did you go?

For any of you SCUBA divers out there, how deep have you taken your Rolex.

My Submariner has been down to 200 feet, but only for a few minutes as you need a lot of air to make a slow ascent.

Most of my dive time has been less than 60 feet deep.

my 16600 sea dweller has been down to about 80 ft. (all free diving)

my 16613LB sub maybe has seen 15 ft. (mostly pool time)

My Bluesy has made it to 125ft a number of times for my Advanced qualification. Most of the time it tops out in the 50-60ft range.

Trimix is used in deep diving scenarios (usually commercial - think deep water wells/oil and gas). The gases are oxygen, helium, and nitrogen.

I have taken my BlackBay down to 45m at La Graciosa island (north of Lanzarote).
And around 42mm with my 16610 in Tenerife.

my Aquadive has seen 115', my Airking saw about a max of 10. and my 6426 crystal is so crazed I don't trust it around water other than rain or a splash on the wrist washing my hands.
