Re: Slat water diving tips
In Response To: Slat water diving tips ()

I have used my SMP on various diving trips. Here some advice: Rinse your watch immediatelly with a bottle of fresh water when you get out of the water (there is always a guy on the boat to pass you a bottle of mineral water if you have forgotten yours...).

Try to avoid direct sunlight on the watch till it has been fully rinsed (the action of the sun+salt is extremelly damaging on the metal, the paint of the dial and the bezel and the joints).

Then when you get to the shore immerse your watch in fresh water (i.e the sink) while your are cleaning the rest of your equipment. That should do it.

Have fun diving. Sent us the picture. (for your info I have taken my SMP to -60 meters and it is a fantastic diving watch: very readible and practical to use.
