Diving with new Sub

So I picked up a new tt blue ceramic sub on Tuesday. Love it.

Now I'm in Jamaica enjoying my vacation AND my new watch. I've only gone scuba diving once before but I'll be going tomorrow and testing out my new watch! Nice to get to use it for what it's made for.

My only complaint with the new SubC is the ease with which the bezel rotates (even a slight bump), so your dive may be cut short due to bumping your bezel.

Just got back. Here are a few pics of me doing the test dive in the pool. We did go open water diving for about 20 minutes...watch held up just fine, even though I got stung by a jellyfish!

I'm the bald one...

Glad you guys had a great time. It's always good to see these watches being used in their intended environment. I hope it won't be the last.
