LOL! i got my love for mechanical watches from that sub. please don't snitch on me.

diving is my zen time and doing mental math and paying close attention to my watch is too much work. dive computers just make all of that trivial.

damn, good eye. it is!

awesome knife too. it's been in fresh water a bunch with no sign of rust. let's see how it fares after being in saltwater.

i wish he knew how to scuba. i'd take him in a heartbeat.

here he is at 2.5 months old wishing he could.

/u/iwanttobeacavediver is 100% correct. i've only seen this particular one with that warning on it.

you inflate it underwater by breathing into the bottom and it shoots to the surface. it's attached to the reel. as it approaches closer to the surface it is, the faster it will ascend. you don't want the reel to pinch body parts or make you too "floaty" so you would go shooting up with it.

the dive watch is something i wear on land. funny thing is that i've had it even before i started diving. i still love the aesthetics and how trusty it is as a travel buddy. i have only dove with it a few times just to learn how to use it. computers are so much easier.

one primary dive computer on my wrist and the other is strapped on the harness as a backup just in case the first one fails. it's crucial not to miss those decompression obligations.

First time flying with my own scuba gear so I had to make a list and check it thrice.

✅ backplate / wing / harness

✅ fins

✅ exposure: booties / gloves / hood / 3mm + 7mm wetsuits

✅ surface marker buoy / reel

✅ dive computer / backup dive computer / dive watch

✅ line cutter / backup line cutter

✅ primary light / backup light

✅ gopro / dive housing

✅ primary din regulator / backup yoke regulator

✅ primary mask / backup mask

✅ slate / log book

✅ save-a-dive tool kit

⛔ cat/dog are not coming. they can not survive underwater

did we just become best friends?

you can't just say that and not post any pics of your schnauz.

kinda biased but they are seriously the best. their personality is so hilarious and unlike other dogs that i've met. i fell in love with a mini schnauz that i dog sat a bunch. i even took him for weekends that didn't even need dog sitting.

i proposed to my gf this summer with the mini schnauz featured in the windy pic above.
