If you guys want or like these I have quite a but of dive photos of exploring an old 1900s girls lodge thats about 240ft below in a man made lake in SC, an old ferry bridge thats still standing after a lake was flooded by a damn (creepy dive), just wasnt sure if thats what people would like to see.

This is in Colombia SC. The super structure still stands but is crumbling slowly. Must be very cautious on where you touch or swim.

If im going 930ft I'm long gone already, lol. I do laugh though some guys ask "are you not worried about your watch getting damaged", my response is always the same "its a tool watch, its got scuffs, scratches etc... It has one job to tell me the time, if it fails it gets sent for repair"

I was shocked when I investigated dive computers. Some were rated 100m or below. Most were 80 meters .Seen one model that was rated for 150 meters but cost a lot more than the others. Great post btw!!

Very much so, I use an Aqualung 700 wrist mount and a ScubaPro with a compass. Alot of money but cant put a price on safety.
