Myself same qualification as Bruce done a bit of diving around Cancun and Cozumel myself my favourite diving watch is my Citizen Aqualand 11.There was a dive school on the beach called Manta Divers,remember one dive just looked at my log book San Torivio?,came across the largest moray I have ever seen.

In order of preference:

Omega Planet Ocean (because it looks cool and retro and might actually get used to dive with due to its lower price aft discount)

Blancpain fifty fathoms (possibly my grail watch, the limited edition with the sapphire bezel that is) the fit, finish, and everything about exudes class..truly a few notches above Rolex in every regard especially price and cost of service which is what kills it for me...Rolex is pretty much my breaking point for sport style pieces and their resale helps to continually raise the bar (remember when I wouldn't pay more than $3500 for a sport watch now it is 4500)...

IWC Aquatimer...cool watch great bracelet and clasp

Well Bruce, reporting. Back from 2 dives; a L O T of fish (as usual) plus turtles and rays. Beautiful conditions; 60 ft and 45 ft. Today's watch (for diving purposes): Swatch Fun Scuba.

I swear by my b/b GMT-II. I've been diving many times to 1 m and it has never failed me yet.

Great stuff Gerardo!! The sea turtles are my favourite. I remember trying to herd one around in circles on a dive in Bonaire so the rest of the people on the dive could see him. They were deeper, down the reef, and I was shallow with an instructor and student we were working with. I was amazed at how fast those buggers could swim!! Man that was fun
