My only real watch at the moment is my Marathon TSAR. Just figured I would share a pic and action shot. I've been a licensed captain as well as diver for 11 years now. Wish the action shot was bigger but it's an old pic. Hope you all enjoy!

Nice white marlin caught and released in 2009

Love Marathon watches, every collection should have one.

Here's my 2006 contract SAR.

Excellent! I love action shots. Is that a quarry? We dive one similar in PA. Don't have an action shot of my TSAR while diving...yet.

Yes, Gilboa Quarry, near Findley, Ohio.

Very cool! We dive Dutch Springs for our "checkouts" prior to hitting the wrecks off the coast. This was from New Year's Eve a couple years ago. Marathon is on the wrist but it's a capture from my buddy's GoPro and is lost in my drysuit.

New Years Eve!?!?!

You are much more adventurous than me.

Always great to see a Marathon in it's natural habitat.

Love me some deep dark NE/MA wreck diving. I've done some bluewater stuff and by all means, found it fantastic. There is just something about seeing wrecks sunk in WWII. Definitely a little bit more "intense" diving.

Oh it was a balmy 36 degrees if I recall correctly!

At 60ft down in the quarry it was 53 degrees and felt like my feet were in buckets of ice water.

That's practically a heat wave! We dive almost exclusively dry. It's an added safety measure. I'm negatively buoyant with my plate/harness/tanks. I wear no weight. I could swap to a carbon/abs plate but it's not a big deal. If I lose my wing, I still have the suit to help me swim it up.

Quarry gets cold early in the year. Off NJ we're about 40-45 degrees until mid July and it starts to warm. I do recall a couple dives in August-September that were 65 on the bottom. You sweat in the suit.
