How to really use a Dive Watch Bezel - Watch and Learn #69 

Yes, or the laundry.

Dan’l 56 exactly!!!

Boiling eggs!

Penetration!

You set a timer for chicken.? You'll learn to grill one day.

LOL

True, thanks!

LOL, thanks.

lol good one

i don't wanna be messing too much with my new promaster bezel just yet :XD

LOL, thanks Jack!

Thanks for this post. I don't dive and I don't know the failure rate of dive computers but as a backup I would buy another dive computer. I've seen them as low as $50.

@@danielfrancis3660 I agree 100%!

Thanks so much, maybe I'll check them out too :)

Marc, look at Shearwater.

I always dove with a computer and a dive master and a buddy , we would set the time of the dive and I would look at the watch occasionally to see how long we had been under.

Thank you!

I'm not a diver but that makes perfect sense! Thanks for the input 👍

Welcome!

Thank you!

Nice and thanks!

Thanks Scott.

Thanks so much!

Thank you.

Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching.

Thank you, Craig.

Whatever works!

Sounds like LW needs a GMT!

:D

LOL

Great to hear, thank you.

Long Island Watch You’re welcome

Thank Tony!

Yeah same

Hope this was better!

Great to hear!

You are welcome

It works!

Right on. Maybe that's in a future video.

Thanks!

Do it !!!!

That's cool! Yeah, when I choose, and put it to use, I'll let you know.

: - )

LOL, thanks.

Thank you, I'm glad to hear it.

Thank you

I got it I think. When you are ready to ascend you would reset the bezel pip to minute hand and then you would use the red portion of the 009.

Yup!

LOL

Not yet.

Hans Lankamp Rolex never claimed that their watches meet ISO 6425 requirements

@@shannonstidham6757 I know, just thought it was interesting as they're "the iconic dive watch"

Yes, I guess you don’t need certification when you’re an icon and have been the watch of choice of professional divers for decades.

All a diver needs is a timer. Certification is silly. Serious divers used a computer and a back up computer. Computers monitor changes in depth many times a minute, which gives you a better/safer picture of nitrogen build up on your blood. The original navy dive tables assumed no change in depth, and was tried/tested on humans!

@@drgjs Very true, but I feel like this argument is the equivalent of "your phone tells the time". Great for putting discussions into the bigger picture, but doesn't really solve the thing at hand.

LOL

No deco times

Gettin' there!

Thanks, will check them out

Suunto are quite well made and used to be something of an industry standard. They use a different deco algorithm to everyone else (which is largely based on an existing model -the reduced gradient bubble model, or RGBM). Some people swear by it, but its main practical advantage, as I see it, is that lots of other people you dive with will be using the same algorithm owing to the proliferation of Suunto dive computers. Well, that used to be true, it is getting less. The disadvantage is that the theory behind the algorithm is not as accepted or popular as some other models. Deco theory is always just that, a theory. Also, you should not be pushing limits in recreational diving anyway, deco model differences do not matter so much because you are not ever supposed to be going into deco. Personally I always recommend computers with Bühlmann ZHL-16C (preferably with gradient factors) for recreational diving, as I feel it is a better, more established and trusted deco model. If I had to recommend a brand it would currently be Shearwater, I don't think any other computers come close in the market right now. They are comparatively expensive, however, and there are many other simpler and cheaper alternatives available for more casual or less frequent divers. I usually try and steer people away from Suunto because of the algorithm they use, their lockout method, and their price. I have used them extensively in the past and just feel there are better options.
