Garden-variety open water diver here.

Padi Divemaster B.S.A.C instructor now retired owing to bad health.And I would doubt if 80% of all dive watches bought ever see any water other than a shower, or dip in the pool or splash in the sea .

Great thread.......

I have heard from a reliable source that Joe (Bubba) is a Certified Diver of sorts.............

He is usually after that hard to find sea urchin called the 'Muff'............apparently the Queen can be identified by the prominent looking 'Toe'..................

I have been Diving a little bit since 1970 or so.

Here is real Man's diving, me circa 1977.

This sucks it's about 33 degrees F, and F does not only stand for Fahrenheit.

This is pretty fun.

But this is how I like to dive now.

Just hit Catalina two weeks ago visibility was over 70ft, except when I kick up sediment like in the bottom picture. Good times

I'm a regular diver

Parachrom · 17 September 2008, 04:21 AM

Logged over 15,000 hours plus since 68, most in fresh water about 20% in salt. Sp[ent a couple of years roaming the caribean playing pirate . Looking for treasure and getting the pleasure. Sea dweller with me all the time, my constant companion, my best friend. even the cudas seem to like the Sea Dweller. I was always afraid they might like the arm it was attached to as well.

Ther i was in 6-0 ft of water.. just me, my shark knife and a ten foot tiger shark...... just to make it fair I tied one hand behind my back

Nothing screams out diver more than a Submariner or Sea Dweller. While other watches have failed me whilst diving, my Rolex has always brought me home safe, cant ask for more than that except for a 18kt sub with date and the saphire index

11,000+ hours, 99% saltwater, 90% walking... (don't fin a whole lot) from the tropics to under the ice in Alaska...

Quite happy to have worn mine in Sharm El Shiekh, and surfing in Tenerife.
If I can it can.
