    under the sea...there are none like it...

    Took the underwater camera with me on our last dive....

    Took lots of photos...but thought I'd just post a couple where my watch shows somewhat clearly....I dont use nor want a computer. Who needs one when you have watches like this one keeping time for you ;)?

    Those two images could quite easily be you just about to murder your partner in the first photo, and then celebrating in the second! Hopefully it was just a kiss you were going for

    Cool watch, what is it?

    Out of interest, why don't you want to use a computer?

    I use diving as an escapade from everyday hectic life.I dont want any electronic gizmos beeping orders at me...a good watch, dive tables and depth gauge suit my needs perfectly well.

    Fair enough. I tend to think of mine as a piece of safety equipment. While I could dive on EAN tables - and probably fiddle a multi-level dive profile to make it work, I'd probably be even less relaxed than if I just let the computer handle it for me. Each to their own!

    Me too - much easier to use modern technology IMHO.

    Dive computer on right wrist, automatic watch on the left is what I do...

    great photos.
    I'd prefer to use a dive computer but with a good auto as backup.. Once can never be too safe in these situations.

    Recognized her in an instant, since I own the same watch :)

    Great pics, now I only swim and snorkel with the OS300, but it's a tank indeed.

    Hi All,

    Two dive computers for me (both Suunto) so if one does fail then the dive isn't cut short (using EANx on high concentrations near the PPO2 limits) and a dive quartz watch on the left wrist as a second backup for bail-out.
