    Of those, I'd take the Tuna as it is the more unique of the three. If these were mine and I was only taking one, it would be the PO but, as you are taking the Sub ND, I'd go with the Tuna.

    BTW, I would not snorkel or dive with any of them on anything other than a one piece nylon strap, NATO, ZULU, etc. I'm in the bad luck club that lost a watch due to what I have to assume was a spring bar failure. I'm usually a bracelet guy but in water of which I cannot see the bottom, it's nylon for me.

    Enjoy your trip.

    Right on, thanks. I agree, and use a NATO in the water.

    I agree with the Tuna. Great watch in any case, plus the convenience of quartz. If I'm traveling and changing time zones, I'll preset a quartz and it becomes my yardstick for resetting the rest since access to a good time source in vacation destinations is sometimes not assured.

    Rusty, sorry to hear that you've lost a watch "at sea". I'm not a big strap changer but I have thought of using the dummy cord trick when I go diving just in case.

    Have fun, Jake!

    The Tuna's an awesome watch for actual swimming and diving (I don't even know how to swim)~

    But I've seen Deacon's pics and others of their Tuna 015's in action and the Tuna looks stunning underwater!

    Have fun!

    Tuna is nice...

    BUT

    you need a "dressier" watch, to alternate styles... So I'd go for the Seamaster, which is (IMNSHO) almost a dress watch, but still good at diving !

    Only 3?? I would get a bigger pelican case...

    But if you HAD to stick to 3, I would go Tuna.

    You son of a biscuit! Very jealous mate! My wife and I just got back from Fiji where our trip was unfortunately cut short when she broke her leg... The day before we were going to hit the water and go snorkelling.... Make it count, you're diving for two of us now mate!

    Oh... And PO all the way for this one
    Cheers,
