    Away diving with Thresher Sharks in Malapascua with deep 1 and buddy took his cousteau as well..Saw thresher in all 3 dawn dive, 1 of the dive they came as close as 2m between us, fascinating stuff, awesome dive even though I'm not happy with the dive centre. Get back to watches, the Deep 1 is by far best dive watch I have dive with, titanium case, love the weight, depth gauge is so easy to read, depth is indicated as minute marker 45minute will be the maximum depth 45 metre, I can tell the depth at a glance which is important for me having to take care of camera,air/Nitrox, creatures, dive buddies etc. Below are some pictures of the trip. Enjoy!

    Now these are some fantastic underwater pictures. I hope that shark was farther away than it appears!

    KS, superb!

    Absolutely great macro shots - and I wonder if our fellow forumers realize that those corlorfull "pumped up round" sea horses are actually so called Pygmy Sea Horses and are all of 4mm-6mm in size !!!

    Now I also must say, that if I was diving along and came upon an IWC AT just lying amongst the corals - no doubt about it; I'd salvage it!

    Thanks for sharing this fantastic trip with us KS.

    @ KS Low, I'd love to add a Deep One to my collection. I am right behind Shing in the row :-)

    Best regards
    Mark

    Nature is so beautiful. As Cousteau (and others) educated us - we have so much still to discover in the oceans. One thing is discovered - your photos and adventures are fantastic.

    Fantastic report and awe inspiring photos KS. However, reports such as yours is really getting me into trouble!! Every time I see one of these another watch suddenly finds its way onto my "wanted" list - and the family budget DIVES for cover (no pun intended) behind the missus :-)

    The Deep Two is very high on that list, and I remember Roberto mentioning to me at SIHH that I should also consider the Deep One. Two months ago I had not really seen one, but now that I have - and in its true element as well - I just have to say that this is a wicked cool watch!!!

    Great pictures! Better for me than visiting the aquarium. The color and clarity are amazing!
