Scuba diving can be an exhilarating and intoxication experience. But in order for it to be done safely the diver must be able to rely on their equipment. A key piece of diving equipment, which no scuba diver should do without, is a diving watch. Diving watches help the diver determine how long they have been submersed, which is critical information you must know, since you have a limit on the amount of oxygen in your tank. By definition a dive watch is designed to be submersed at a minimum of 100 meters. Most diving watches will exceed this minimum standard with some being able to go to extreme depths. The international Organization for Standardization (ISO) has applied a standard for water-resistant watches, which is ISO 6425; and watches, which meet this standard, are marked with the words DIVER’S. Scuba Diving watches started surfacing on the mass market around the 1950s. Most of the first diving watches that were made prior to the 1950s were for Navy and Military purposes. There is now a large selection of diving watches such as Rolex, Panerai, Seiko and Citizen, which are available to the general public. Your choices are only dictated by your budget, style and diving requirements. We have put together a huge selection of dive watches. Please visit our store for all of your dive watch needs.
