However I have the Carrera rather than the Formula 1

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

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

Worth every penny and why not spoil yourself.

We are in Mauritius but mainly with food and drink.

Just having a livener on the balcony soaking up the view before dinner watching the flying foxes attack a huge fig tree nearby

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:

Bit of a poor show from your dive buddies, you are meant to look after each other

They may operate differently there but I was trained to dive as a pair or at least in a small group and constantly check on each others positions. Obviously diving in Scotland with less visibility its more important.
It's easy for something to go wrong and if you are on your own it could end badly.
 
Won't wear the Tag whilst diving, though it is rated to 100mts.
No need for condolences, all were found alive and well. :thumbsup:

This is my dive computer.
