My new dive buddy
I just got a new dive buddy. Hopefully she's as dependable as she's supposed to be.

Why do you need an anchor while diving?

I'm waiting to see what the new SD will be... Ceramic bezel maybe? Who knows, maybe we'll find out after Basel Fair...


BUT, I'm sure you and the SD will make a great team.

Congrats on something that is beyond a timepiece: On a neoprene sleeve plucking an Ab at 70 feet on a single breath hold... under the ice in Alaskan waters on surface supplied... sitting in a chamber just waiting for the hatch to finally open... To shaking the hand of a President or Chairing the Board... Your SD will never be out of place...

Probably the one timepiece that can do it all.

Yes, but without leaving those pesky bubbles, how could she possibly find you?

Mojo tell her: "Baby, Aura has a nice black CCR2000 that will match my SD perfectly, and they're on SALE, you wouldn't believe how much money we are going to save."

Fantastic choice, I still can 't believe how fantastic they are. Seriously a new style ceramic SD could be the word on everyones lips yet it will have to be an 'as well as' as opposed to 'instead of'. You can't beat the style and design of the current SD, a timeless classic. Do you sense an increasing desirability for this brute?

Was not familiar with the Inspiration...

Nice, are you running Nitrox-only diluent or do you run Trimix or Heliox too?


My buddy owns HoodSport 'n Dive out here and he mixes all three, I'd recommend you see him if you're ever out this way... Ron's a great guy...


Anyway on your rebreather and your Sea Dweller

Enjoy...

Nice photos SubFiend and Mojo
