Proof?

Any dive below 30 (thirty) meters is considered a deep dive since at that point nitrogen narcosis can occur. Any dive below 60 (sixty) meters is even more challenging because at that point oxygen toxicity can occur. There are professional divers that go below that, but they are professional for a reason.

A GMT II's 100m is far beyond what most divers would ever do, and it is more than enough for virtually anyone (with very few exceptions).

Your GMT is safe to dive.

Very good points, also the 100m rating is tested to 150m at the factory so margin for error too.

Only thing I would say to that is that the rating is in static water, no moving currents, moving arm or dropping in depth.
