Diving with the Sub and the HBB - pic heavy
Here are a few pics from my latest dives. I wore the HBB the first day and the Sub the second day. The red bezel looks pretty cool underwater, even without white balance adjustments.

I also used Hadley Roma NATOs, which were super comfortable and sturdy (no watches lost!!!!)

The dives were meh, and I had a couple of camera issues so I didn't get many decent pics this time. On top of that, two of the five dives were deep dives so I don't bring the camera for those. On the positive side, I did figure out a little trick to get better close ups, so I hope to take better pics next time.

I apologize for my fascination with clown fish, I just can't help myself.

Enjoy!

Looks like that could be so much fun. I had a clown fish for years. Love the way the like to watch you. Love the exaggeration of depth of the inner ring under the watch crystal too. Great pics!

Great stuff Ardrian! Thanks for posting. Shooting underwater is always a tad tricky but you're on your way to nailing it I think.

Thank you all for the positive comments. I'm hoping to start the dive master course next week, so I should be posting more pics soon.

Love the pics, great illustration of refraction in the underwater shots. The thickness of the rehauts on both watches look way different depending on the shot.
