Diving the Charlotte | winter

It’s 7am on New Year’s Eve…how do two divemaster candidates spend their last morning in 2023? Surveying the Charlotte shipwreck in Lake Whatcom for dive site mapping 🤿😋… Elliot Brown Holton bronze on wrist.

Awesome! Great to see someone actually using a dive watch as intended 😆 Good luck with that divemaster certification.

Thanks 🍻. It was “warm” waters for us here in Washington given the winter season…48F lol. I’m either in 8mm Holis semi-dry wetsuit or my Scubpro Drysuit this time of year 🤿. Anytime is a good time for bubble time.

Checking out your link 🤙🏼

@AnalogExplorer nerdy question... Did you set your timing bezel to time your coffee, but not the dive? Or was it a wild coincidence where the bezel ended up in the same spot for both activities? (I love seeing timing bezels in action, so it just stood out to me)

Good question (love nerdy questions 🤓). That was the coffee after to warm up. Was not timing my coffee but yes my bezel was still set from the dive 👌🏼. It was an early (and cold winter) morning for us, we were in the water by 9am ish.

@AnalogExplorer I loved that smash cut, btw.

I never get sick of seeing dive watches underwater, and my big regret is not getting into dive watches sooner so I could have created those same memories on my dives in years past.

You might dig this. One of my favorite Doxa memories 😋https://youtube.com/shorts/KVqvDaORD9I?si=ZoOw9d6rZjK920e-

How dare you take a dive watch under water?! Don’t you know that these multi hundred meter depth rated watches need to be babied? Think of the resale value!!!!

Seriously, though - that’s awesome, both the experience and you using the watch for its original intended purpose. 🙌🏾
