The nice thing about deep shipwreck dives is that there is usually a bathroom somewhere on the ship. Black 16613.

I was caught in a rather nasty shower between York and Leeds once while wearing my Sub, talk about panic, I turned my windscreen wipers on full. Checked the sub afterwards, it was ok.

First post. 438 feet. Cable inspection, Kirby-Morgan gas hat, heliox mix bounce dive. Never again, but the submariner is still on my wrist, and just got its first service last year (2015). Purchased new in 1972. Yes, 43 years without servicing. Yes, I'm ashamed, but it only cost $275 new, if I remember correctly.

Whats the deepest you've taken your watch on dive??

I wear my watch when I dive but never scuba diving. it's more about the right spot than it is about depth.

My SD has been out snorkling a lot of times. Guess I have been down at about 7-10m a couple of times.
I like to jump into the sea (from piers and such) and I believe that the dynamic pressure is pretty high in that situation...

^^That sounds cold, aquanaut. All I ever did were girlie dives in the Caribbean where the water temperatures were sometimes like a warm bath. Of course, we had outrageously good visibility.
