[ Go ahead bug, make my day. ]
Funny, I've taken my 50M Casio down to 70ft w/ no problems. I
dive, surf, sail, etc. with it all the time (exposing it to all that
nasty water that they tell you to keep it away from) and I've never
had a problem with it. I have many friends with similar experiances,
but then we were diving and surfing in warm water (wet-suit, what's
that?) and I never use the buttons underwater. It keeps a h*ll of a
lot better time than my analoge Seko ever did (it gained 2 min. a day!!),
is a lot lighter, and (relatively) cheap to replace. Alas, I haven't
been down since Christmas because I haven't bothered to get a wetsuit
yet and I find it repulsive to spend over $15 a day (including gas and
air) for diving.
