I love on the coast and even vacation in other tropical environments. So yes, my sub sees the ocean, pool, beach and lake about 150+ times a year. Possibly much more.

I haven't yet most of mine are vintage but would depending on the model and pressure test passing ;)

Been fascinated with watches, and in particular waterproof watches, since I was a kid, probably the thing that drew me to the Sub. I remember being at Radio Shack about 40 years ago and there was a diver's watch that they used to display in a plastic tube filled with water as demonstration of it's waterproof capabilities... anybody know which watch that might have been?

Back to the question... have snorkeled, skin dived, swam etc... on any/all recent Caribbean vacations always with the trusty Sub Date!

...but to answer the question, of course!

My sub has gone skydiving, spelunking, white water rafting, snorkeling, diving, and zip lining.

Whatever you can handle, it can handle!

swiming pool a couple of times when ive forgotten a computer if im teaching , just to know the time for the end of a lesson , ocean , nope , never found a reason , ive plenty of other tools that do so much more , and cost less ,,,,

id never take a computer diving without a lanyard , ,,,, a fiver for peace of mind , a thought for all those who do take their watches diving , swimming etc.

Take it diving all the time. Safer than leaving it somewhere on the boat or island, IMO.
