I respect your efforts, but would never go to such lengths Maybe I'D put the watch on a 20 foot rope and toss it into the river...

scubarob99 that is some impressive arctic action! Our water will struggle to get below 18deg c not sure about Tassie tritto so 5 deg c is a bit fresh! Thank you. Mr.Jones a watch on a rope... I think that’s a reasonable plan... you next or do we have any more US Participants once Rob has had his play. Thanks again all.

Shooting pains and immediate retreat of testicles! Registered nothing, but there was no way I was doing it again! Aqualand got 4 feet. It was fun, but probably more fun in July. Rob You, sir, are a sick dude. I guess there are many who like the polar bear thing but I figure that if I were to try it, my heart would immediately cease to function. Hope the 'nads have returned to their normal position! LOL!!!!!

Water in UK is far too cold. But I’m off to Croatia at the end of May so would be happy to complete that leg!

HiBeat could we make this thread a sticky? I think with summer approaching it's about to get more active and it can get buried quite quickly.

Yay. Up to 3 countries. 4 if you count tritto Van Diemans Land as its own sovereign nation.

I'm in Michigan (USA), but headed to Cape Cod (East Coast) in 4 weeks. If it got here before 3 July I could get it dipped in the Atlantic, and Lake Michigan. I can't promise much depth (not a actual diver despite a significant dive watch collection), but I can get it wet in salt and fresh water. I could also take it kayaking on my next river-based fishing, so we'd get an ocean, the 5th largest freshwater lake in the world, and a river.

Here we go, I had half an hour to sort this out. Enjoy! I got it to about 2.9m by holding my breath but that was tough enough as the water is quite salty in the Adriatic making it more difficult to dive without any weights. Hopefully someone will take it SCUBA and get it down properly! Edit - forgot to mention, my 7yo son christened this watch “The Big Banana” and the name kind of stuck...

That’s awesome . Thanks for putting the time into getting a video sorted. Hope you had fun wearing it! I showed my fam and we all thought the big banana was a perfect name for it. Here is one of our favorite stops heading north for holidays. Killer smoothies.
