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

Mrdi · 16 September 2008, 10:15 AM

I've done over 200 dives
the reason I bought my first Rolex
Sailing, surfing, diving.

steel4me · 16 September 2008, 10:18 AM

I have to my credit 365 dives a year .... into my bathtub .....without the watch ....

TheVTCGuy · 16 September 2008, 10:18 AM

This is me working as a professional diver off the coast of CA, (I think it was about 100 years ago).

WatchTimes · 16 September 2008, 10:20 AM

I do dive BUT I do not EVER go deep enough to
test my DJ, let alone my SD or my DSSD.....

I bought and own them because they are amazing
watches I love!

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

Rolexitis · 16 September 2008, 11:37 AM

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

Alcan · 16 September 2008, 11:46 AM

ACUC advanced diver.

sea-dweller · 16 September 2008, 11:48 AM

I 'desk dive'.

mretzloff · 16 September 2008, 11:49 AM

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.

chopperboy · 16 September 2008, 11:53 AM

Mini Lobster Season every year, and to scrub the alga off the bottom of the boat when necessary!

mojo · 16 September 2008, 12:01 PM

200+ dives, last 50 with my SD

jasonbellevue · 16 September 2008, 12:13 PM

Marrk · 16 September 2008, 12:33 PM

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

rescue7 · 16 September 2008, 01:09 PM

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.

ShawnK · 16 September 2008, 01:09 PM

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.

caribouhouse · 16 September 2008, 03:03 PM

Commercial Diver for 10 years and to be honest I have an Omega Sea Master and now 2 SeaDwellers (father in law gifted me the 2nd SeaDweller) and on my Saturation dives I dont go down with the rolex or omega, rec diving however yes, but commercially no, and im with chopper boy for the old algae bottom scrub off the boat

Would that be an "F'' I wonder?

Z-Sub · 16 September 2008, 03:39 PM

I dove in time after time when I saw a nice looking Rolex...

Lamone · 16 September 2008, 04:09 PM

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

J. Martin Tensuan · 16 September 2008, 08:19 PM

I was certified in 2000 and now have 200+ dives.

seantk · 16 September 2008, 08:44 PM

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

simoesm · 16 September 2008, 08:47 PM

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
