There are so many dive watches being sold in both online and offline markets that it is often hard to decide which one sports the true quality and more importantly if the diver needs both a dive watch and a regular watch for sea and land. There are some really high-tech looking watches that are excellent for diving, but do not have the face value for walking around with them. The IWC Aquatimer dive watch manages to solve this problem by sporting an elegant look with the features that every diver needs to survive during long underwater sessions.

Santo Dives

by Terence J Fisher

Santo dives include two of the world’s most accessible shipwrecks, the USS President Coolidge and the USS Tucker. Plus, on the reefs and in the underwater caves you can see hundreds of colourful and interesting fish.

Great reef dives can be found around most of the Santo coastline. Dive operators tend to stick to the south-east coast, the location of the world war II wrecks of the SS President Coolidge and the USS Tucker and an area known as ‘Million Dollar Point’. Wreck and reef diving is suitable for divers of any ability who have completed basic training.

Wetsuits are indeed very important protective gears in the world of water sports. Without the suits, water sports could not be enjoyed at any time of day and any season time of year. The risk of hypothermia is high especially when you are submerged in water, thus without wetsuits, you can never enjoy your favorite scuba diving adventures for long.

Body heat tends to drain faster when you are in the water than in land, thus if the temperature is low, or if you intend to stay in the water for long, it is always necessary to wear your wetsuit for protection against hypothermia. Whatever is your sport, may it be scuba diving to wakeboarding, surfing, or even recreational swimming, it is indeed important to wear your wetsuit.
