    I started a thread a couple of months ago titled "Diving with Watches" that I hope will be a repository for dive watch reports. I began with a report on diving with the Seiko SRPA21 (Prospex PADI SE) and intend to write up experiences with my other watches as well, including Planet Ocean and Diver 300M. Other forum members have posted some cool shots on the thread already.

    Any other Divers hate when people brag about the Master Diver Cert. it's meaningless it just shows you gave PADI a lot of money taking small specialty classes that barely teach you anything.

    Get Rescue Diver certed that's one that's actually a bit hard to earn. Plus no legeal responsibility like Dive Master /rant

    It's a little different.... Master Diver doesn't mean your a good Diver. Rescue Diver or Dive Master does.

    I thinks the article a bit ironic in that some of the pics are of watches on the bottom. Exactly why I have never worn an expensive dive watch diving. My dive instructor was a Navy Seal. Great guy. He taught you to treat every dive like a mission. Take sh!# seriously and come back alive.

    If a dive watch is for diving and a moon watch is for an astronaut, what should I be doing with my Globemaster?::bleh::
