Sounds like a blast. I always wanted to skydive but never got around to it. Have fun!
Oh, and if you can take pics on the descent, that would be great. |

Enjoy!
I jumped once about 20 years ago about 11/12,000 feet over Lake Champlain and Vermont and still have tingles in my fingers when thinking about it. I went tandem and the guy gave me the option of flipping a few times when falling out of the plane - highly recommended. |

It is a dive watch, of course it is safe to wear it (High) Above surface.. below surface... it's all the same.

You're mental
I'm a big whimp, all the money in the world wouldn't make me jump out of a plane. Have a great time & yes, definitely wear your watch! |

I crossed that one off the bucket list about 12 years ago. An absolute blast! You're going to love it.

Well look at this way...if something horrible happens the watch will be much better off than you. If that makes you feel better.

You are a brave man, my friend. Good luck. I am sure your Sub will be fine.

You've got the wrong watch, you meet a GMT or a Sky-Dweller to jump out of an aeroplane.
If you jump out of an aeroplane with a Sub on it'll explode instantly due to the air pressure inside the watch being greater than that outside the aeroplane. I'd be surprised if the jumpmaster even lets you on the plane wearing it. Have fun though, it's a blast...... just don't make it a literal blast by wearing a dive watch in the sky |
