Let's go DEEP...DEEP SEA, any real deep divers with 500m+ minimum?
Let's go very deep and show us your Diving watches which can go 500m or lower... Like the Sea Hawk I, 7100 rated at 500m Or even further with the Sea Hawk III, rated 1000m with helium escape valve. What do you have if you feel like walking the bottom of t...
I Own two divers .
My Linde Werdelin but thats has only a water resistance of 300m To go to the bottom i will bring the DSSD ...
Great to see...
It would be interesting to see if anyone here has the crazy 5000m version! Cheers, pplater.
Hands up everybody who have visited 60 meters or below.
I have, but I was stupid and don't do that again. In that kind of depth, I have lost two friends. Best, Kari, DM
These depths would kill you before reaching 500 meters.
In real life a 300 m Submariner or 200 m Tudor is enough even for all technical diving. These top depth ratings are for desk divers. Best, Kari
As a Divemaster I'm allowed to go 40 m
and I agree with you about the sensible max depth. In 40 meters it starts to be dark and there is not much to see excluding wrecks. Best, Kari
My deepest is about 6 meters
which I why I decided I didn't need this watch any longer Cazalea ...
That depth is good for snorkelling
and indeed, a diving watch is not needed. Like I have said many times in the past, a diving watch is pretty much history and good modern watches like all Rolex, Patek 5711, 5167, etc. are all good for the maximum depths of scuba diving. A watch with 50 me...
You are an experienced diver!
But still, even a Rolex Oyster would be enough for all of your diving. I took this matter up because it irritates me how non-divers are manipulated with the depth ratings. Furthermore, in real life we rely on dive computer plus all other instruments we ta...
Can’t agree more.
But I still have a sea dweller and I don’t do saturation diving at all. What can I say.
I am simply scared.
If one would have a reason to come fast to the surface from such a depth, it can become the last voyage. Best Kari
When I feel like visiting the bottom of the ocean
I’ll wear something like this an turn on National Geographic 😉 ...
This one is rated to 2000m...
...so naturally it's perfect at dishwashing time: Cheers, pplater. ...
Great idea! I just realized I had only one watch which qualifies...
And not only 1220 meters from the beach! Best, Nicolas ...
That is a great ctach, my friend! :)
Huge congrats! Now you are really going deep into the GP divers theme... Best Blomman
Only one got from Zenith !
Although written "For XtreMe condition use" but so far it has met only green but not ocean depth of even 10m ! Cheers ! ...
This bad boy...
But I have 'only' taken it to -284m... so not really pushed it close to its limits! Cheers Andrew ...
SINNing at 500m
This EZM3 has been my daily beater for a couple of years. Rated as a dive watch to 500m, it also has other interesting features: anti-magnetic to 80,000 A/m, argon-filled, copper sulphate moisture absorbing capsule, and low-temp oils good down to -45C/-49...
Hello dear CC! As you know I have been very fond of sport Scuba diving since I was a teenager in the far years of the early 1960´s so I find this thread most interesting...
... to read with the comments of our friends, specially those who show being experienced divers. In my personal case I started diving with the old two hose Scuba rigs and a depth gauge and my trusty ref 5513 Rolex Submariner on my wrists. My last dive was...
