A free diving record set last year, 122 metres deep without oxygen.

Something to think about next time you’re about to ask if you can swim with your 300 metre rated Seamaster.

I envy her ear equilizing ability. Takes me 3 minutes to go 10 feet.

But, is 300 meters 300 meters?

I dove with my Seiko Pogue to 50M when the watch was rated to 70M. No problems. Don't think I'd even try to go 122 M (especially at my age) even with my 600M Planet Ocean

Well the first 16 feet is basically a 50% increase in pressure, the next 16 only 25% change, the next 16 12.5 % change.. so that is to be expected 😉

Pretty sure fifty metres is forty five metres deeper than most of us would dream of going, with or without a watch.
