A diver's watch, dove the Northern Lights today, not even a hestitation in using it for what it was made. Its 184' to the wreck, hot drop in the current a drift deco after 20 minutes of bottom time. Viz was crazy good, at 80' on the descent I could see the whole wreck.

To bad the captain cut off my wrist in the photo. Oh well
