As a professional diver, I’ve always been ahead of the game when it comes to dive watches, and I’ve also been an avid collector and admirer of them for many years, not merely because of their rugged, mission-oriented looks but for the wonderful blend of functionality, history, and craftsmanship they represent. There's something exhilarating about a watch that can survive the tremendous pressure of the ocean depths while still looking quite comfortable in a boardroom or coffee shop. I've spent hundreds of hours researching, testing, wearing, and swimming with scores of models over the years. And, in doing so, I've learned... Read more |

A Wetsuit is a garment made of light material such as neoprene. The wetsuit actually lets a little water into the suit, which is allowed to circulate between the skin of the diver and the outside suit layer. As a result, the trapped water is gradually warmed up to near body temperature and helps keep the diver comfortable. The suit layer helps insulate the warmed water next to the body from the outside water. A wetsuit's purpose is to provide thermal insulation, abrasion resistance, and buoyancy. ... Read more |

Scuba diving is a huge adventure that opens up an underwater world of extraordinary sights. You can explore the deep and dark depths, coral reefs, marine life, and submerged landscapes that few people get to see firsthand. To enter and to participate in this underwater world, however, you need specialized breathing apparatus to stay submerged for long periods. This allows for recreational use, scientific research, and other activities but comes with its own unique set of challenges and possible hazards, making safety precautions all-important. Whether you are thinking of (literally) plunging into diving for the first time or need a reminder of... Read more |

When you hear of ‘weight’ and diving, the first thing that comes to mind is likely scuba diving. You would be right, since scuba diving does require weights. However, so does snorkeling — freediving, in particular. Unlike traditional snorkeling, where you stay on the surface of the water, freediving requires you to hold your breath and dive below the surface. The best way to do that is with weights, which typically means a weight belt. There is a whole science behind the amount of weight in freediving and snorkeling, so let’s take a look at how you can use weight belts... Read more |
