Keen diver as I was....
Firstly, welcome to our forum.
....I have used a couple of Panerais into the water and have experienced no problems at all. A nice swim with a Panerai it's what the manufacturer intended 
Only thing though, if one plans in swimming/diving regularly for an extended period of time (summer) I would have the water tightness checked beforehand. That's not because Panerai is a particularly delicate watch brand, but because ALL the mechanisms which are water proof, must be checked. IMO of course Again, welcome. Ciao

Underwater—the good kind!
I was on the beach for Christmas and I took my 111 into the ocean and to the pool a numerous times. It never occurred to me to not do either, especially since I don’t often expose it to salt water or chlorine, and also because I rinse with fresh water aft...
I think these watches are meant to be used as they were designed to do its all good
I take my Breguet Marine into the water all the time. Not meant to be babied is how I treat them Your PAM looks comfortable in its natural surroundings
I took all my divers in water.
Never an issue with any brand. When i had my Pam’s (320,000) both saw lots of ocean time and never a problem. I just let them soak in tap water in the sink after I was done. On that note, my buddy had 3 different AP’s and everyone had problems. Not water ...
I have no diving watch in my collection for the moment unfortunately but if I had one really dedicated to dive, I'll swim with it
Very nice pictures and warm welcome here by the way. Best wishes Alkiro

Welcome here!
I used to have the PAM111 and used it on a few dives. No problem at all! Only thing, like Sergio mentioned, you need to regularly (once per year or before each water vacation?) check that the water seal is OK. Best Blomman
Welcome here!
I think you are doing right thing but on other hand non of my watches will ever see any water Looking forward more from you Cheers D
One thing to remember...
Salt water and chlorine corrodes rubber gaskets. Its perfectly fine to wear your PAM in the water, but wearing it in the water speeds up the likelihood of it being less resistant over time. So take the advice of others and get those pressure tests to ensu...
Thanks—swimming away!
Thank you, everyone, for weighing in and for your warm welcome to the forum! It sounds like everyone has enjoyed getting the most out their Panerais. I look forward to more swims with mine and to engaging you further on other topics!
I don't dare...
Because the manual says I have to send it for service every year if I did submerge it in the water.
