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

That happened to me 10 years ago in Puerto Rico. My feet were on the sand, next thing I know there is no bottom and In a few seconds I was a good 100 feet from where I just was, and my hotel is becoming smaller in the distance.

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.
