How deep has your dive watch been?
Just curious. Let's hear the deepest your watch has ever been. And lets just skip the 5ft swimming pool jokes up front.. a thank you.
Oh, and pics get you extra points! lol |

I've taken my GMT-IIc into many swimming pools, and even snorkeling a few times. My Omega Planet Ocean has gone down 110ft once, and up to 60ft many times.

Mmm, it was around 150 ft (I'm traveling and I don't have my dive log with me). No pictures, though. I'm not yet into underwater photography, I'm still freaking out when I think about how much $$$ it would take to gear up for that (housing, strobes, etc).

Sub has been to 125 FT too many times to count. Avid spear fisherman and the wreck we frequent bottoms out at 130. FWIW we do dive Nitrox

My Sub's only been down about 15 meters, in the bottom of Hamilton Harbour. The heavy metals down there are probably the reason the tritium lume on this N seral watch still glows.

Just got back from Kenya - 32m with Sea Dweller.
I do not like very deep dives - poor visibility, little time on the bottom and you spend all your time on safety stops. Only if you need to go deep to observe a group of Hammerhead Sharks - only exception.

Well IMHO if you use nitrox 32 or nitrox 36 for non-stop diving.The safe depth limits for Nitrox are 30m around 98Ft for Nitrox 32 and for Nitrox 36 35m around 115 Ft respectively.

My guess is that the diver is going to need a "service" before the watch if he keeps that up .

This picture is shallow at about 10m but this watch has been to 40m. That was back when I was a new diver, and was stupid. IMHO, a person had better be QUITE prepared and diving trimix with dives deeper than about 30m. Diving a single tank with compressed air at deeper than 30m is just too risky for my blood. JMHO

127', Molokini crater, Maui, HI. Saw the largest "school" of sharks I've ever heard about. Easily 100 grey sharks swimming around us on a wall dive. It was awesome.
