Haha not another is it safe question??
Just booked my sky diving experience for this weekend. Is it safe to wear my sub? it's made for diving, so I'm thinking it should be. lol
Anyone wants to share their sky diving experience?

TeeBee97 · 1 May 2015, 03:00 AM

No worries!

SemperFi · 1 May 2015, 03:02 AM

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.

salem65 · 1 May 2015, 03:39 AM

Wow congrats, you are brave. I too think this thread will need some pics :)

hdms · 1 May 2015, 04:30 AM

yes. pictures please of those who've done it would be nice. I'll post mine after i"ve done it!

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.

hdms · 1 May 2015, 05:51 AM

Oh wow! can I request the flip? I'd want to request that. haha

It is a dive watch, of course it is safe to wear it

(High) Above surface.. below surface... it's all the same.

toneafficianado · 1 May 2015, 06:04 AM

Do it! You can't hurt a Sub.

OmegaJJH · 1 May 2015, 06:43 AM

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!

blufinz52 · 1 May 2015, 07:00 AM

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

watchwatcher · 1 May 2015, 07:07 AM

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

hdms · 1 May 2015, 07:25 AM

Now this got me worried. It says 1000ft. I'll be diving from I think 10,000ft? 😂😂😂

Eric Chan · 1 May 2015, 08:56 AM

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

Cryten · 1 May 2015, 10:24 AM

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
