    Now I'm a Doxa Diver

    Only had a disposable 50ft camera but got some shots of my first dive with a Doxa, my 800Ti. Worked like a champ and had no problem reading it...of course, it was like 50ft vis!

    The lagoon:



    Me and my girl...the girl, not the watch :



    60ft:



    x2:



    It was clear that my camera was made for snapshots. Every pic of my watch close up took a great pic of the ocean floor with a fuzzy, orange thing in the foreground!

    This was the best:




    What a beautiful place! Had a hard time leaving.

    Oh man, those are fantastic pics of a fantastic dive. I really need to hit up a dive vacation like that. The water looks amazing.

    I have to say Doxas are one of those watches that almost look more at home in the diffuse light of the underwater environment than on dry land.

    "Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much... the wheel, New York, wars, and so on, whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely the dolphins believed themselves to be more intelligent than man for precisely the same reasons."

    Thanks guys! It was actually pretty reasonable for four days and incredibly beautiful weather and water.

    Great stuff Deacon, and I hate that I missed this thread until now. Next time, post stuff like this in the main forum, as these sub-forums tend to be a ghost town.

    Where were you guys?


    Have a nice day.

    Wow, looks great there Deacon.

    Your girl has got some big dive computer to rival the Doxa.

    May I ask where this lagoon was? Its like you were in a pool.

    Then again, I've never dove in clear blue water like that. Only 15-20ft visability for me.
    Did you have any trouble reading the bezel? I've heard that its difficult with color and size of bezel fonts.

    Nice dive vacay. I long to go dive soon.

    Thanks for sharing.
