How many Sub owners have never gone diving?
Just curious.
Thanks. |

I got caught in a rip tide once when swimming. Ever since then I've been apprehensive about even going into the water. I wear my Sub when watching diving on tv.

I use my Seadweller when skydiving.
If I become a "Dirt Dart" at least the watch will survive!

I wear my sub when I'm out sailing. You may as well be diving when you get caught out with a chinese gybe

I snorkled aged 12. That said, I have an Exp II and never been cave-diving.

I kept calm and swam parallel to the shore until I was free. I wound up about a quarter mile from where my beach chair was. When I got back to the beach I was exhausted, and I still had to walk back. I have never been afraid of the water and I was in much better shape back than. Now if that happened I don't if I would be so lucky. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk |
