Anax, have you gone deep sea diving before?  Sorry if this seems a bit strange, I don't know where everyone lives or if they live near a large body of water on here. 

I live in Hawaii but never learned how to fish, or deep sea dive.  I wish I had.  Or even throw a net to fish.  What a pirate...lol Just a land lubber.  I did body board, but that doesn't require to go too deep in the water.   walk the plank2

Yup. Been a master diver for 26+ years. Most of my dives have been outside of California. This place sucks with it's cold arctic water, murky kelp forests and the odd random sea lion, grouper or shark. Though the sharks aren't so random anymore.

Depends. Just did Belize last year. Didn't have a chance to do the Blue Hole yet though. Kind of torn about the prospect tbh. Have a feeling it'll be a letdown. Might go back just to cross it off the list, but the main goal would be to try and hang out with a whale shark. I know cooper on hear and head-fi used to dive a lot. Think he had a rebreather even.

I googled "blue hole belize" and got a thread discussing a woman who died. After much discussion, she had had a heart attack. Diving seems awesome, but a bit scary.

How deep have you gone, Anax? Did you ever find yourself in a dangerous situation?

Meanwhile, I've run pictures of the watches I've posted here by some female friends and my mom (home for Memorial Day), and they all have managed, without any knowledge of watches, to pick out and rate them in order of expense, with the most expensive being the favorite. The exceptions are the Breguet and the Reverso, which aren't popular.

Whoa, thanks for sharing.

Okay, now, we can go back to topic: So, have you ever dived (dove?) with a diving watch, or do you use a dive computer?

A submariner is a classic watch, but as a diver, how useful would a dive watch be?

Computer. An analog back-up doesn't hurt.
