: Could it then be that most of the (non
: professional or "sport-dives")
: only last for about 15 min?
Not really
Typically, one can expect a "sport dive" at a depth of 60 feet to last about 60 minutes. (60 feet also happens to be the recommended maximum depth for a diver having only a basic certification). The time drops with increasing depth. I would have to double check my dive tables, but at about 100 feet, 12-15 minutes is the allowable time.
I really think it is purely a cosmetic issue, gives the bexel a little extra "flair". Incidentally, I believe my Rolex is similar, except they have the first 20 minutes done a little different.
