Submariner Date & Nudibranchs

It's late, and I can't sleep so I've been sorting through some recent photos.

Here are a couple of shots of my the SubDate fulfilling it's tool function on a dive yesterday, after my dive computer packed it in for 48 hours (loooong story). Accompanying the shots are a couple of interesting nudibranchs I spotted at around 10m of water. Note the green background behind my head, a sign of extremely bad visibility of only around 3m, but productive for 'muck' diving nonetheless.

Great pics!! These watches look great underwater. When I first got mine over the summer and went snorkeling at a clean water reservoir with a buddy of mine I couldn't stop staring at my LV underwater lol. Thanks for sharing.

Great pictures (even if they didn't live up to Anastasio's earliest expectations). Okay, I confess, I harbored the same first salacious impression from your thread's title!

Cheers,

Chris

Hey Jim,

I'm using a Canon G10 with the Canon housing. Will hopefully pick up an external strobe by April or so.

Nice pics! The Sub doing what it was designed to do!

I'll take my Sub into the depths sometime in its life

Lee, those are great pics. Wish I had the opportunity to try my G9 on some comparable subjects. Great little cameras. How long have you had yours?

Buz, I've had the G10 since early December and I love it. Best camera I've gotten since going digital. Pity there aren't many after-market casings with lens extensions yet. The G9 on the other hand, has a whole suite of casings and lenses.

Well, just take the Yachtmaster on to a sailboat for a spin around the block! And the Datejust, well, every day is a date!
