Carrera is a much nicer watch than F1 IMO :thumbsup:

Congratulations and wish you both health and happiness to wear them :D

Todays dive a no go as my mate who owns the dive boat decided he was doing Carlisle bay with noobs. Dived that far too many times to pay for the privilege and knew I'd end up watching over some kids or noobs whilst Ram had the two prettiest girls. :rofl:

Nice lunch with friends instead, Mexican tonight then the dive bar for beers.

I don't dive, but I snorkel a lot. Never been lucky enough to see a turtle. First day in Carlisle Bay I saw 14, one of which surfaced and swam alongside me for nearly a minute. Box well and truly ticked. :)

A rather brutal dive today, first shot fired from speargun and somehow the cord got in a ridiculous tangle. Spent about 15 minutes trying to untangle it, realised it was impossible and cut it, therefore rendering it unusable for the rest of the dive. Lost the three other divers whilst doing so, so was on my tod for about twenty minutes before I found them again. Horrendous current coming back up the reef, I'm very good on my air but we all started our ascents with about ten minutes no decompression time left. Boat took a few attempts to pick us up as rough on the surface. Still enjoyable.

Send my condolences to their families. Sounds a bit too dangerous for my liking.
Is you new 'Sport Billy' watch waterproof? :poke:
