45. I am with you

Wed Jan 15, 2025, 05:48 AM

Wednesday

In the past 40 years I have had 3 watches. The first one, a Seiko dive master. It lasted nearly 20 years and then the next 2 were Seiko automatics. In my younger days I had a couple hundred real (in my journals) dives and hundreds of other puttering around pulling lobsters. Residual nitrogen, ouch. I loved to dive in the shallows, rarely much past 30 feet. I had my deeper dives as a young person, but found I enjoy the "shallows". 30/40 feet is the sweet spot for me. Better visibility, mort time puttering around, less time getting up and down, less pressure on the body. Unfortunately as I have grown older, I moved away from the ocean and dove in a quary one time but it was not the same. To many artificialities.
