As the name suggests it refers to the dive tables through water treatment, used for diving watches. Usually the water table and not to dive, dive table must meet stringent requirements, not strong enough to be able to be called waterproof diving watch.

Waterproof dive tables is not permanent, a diving watch tested after repeated use for some time, even if the performance is not diminished, its margin of safety will also change over time.

It doesn’t take alot to properly maintain your scuba watches. Here are some easy steps to follow to ensure your dive watch will last you for years:

1.Rinse after each dive – Thoroughly rinse your watch in fresh water after each dive. You should also rinse it after getting out of a pool to get the chlorine off.

2.Turn the bezel – While you are rinsing your dive watch, if you have a bezel, turn it to get rid of any grit, etc. that may have gotten under the dial.

3.Check gaskets – Scuba watches are waterproof due to rubber or plastic seals inside the watch. These gaskets will eventually deteriorate and affect the water resistancy of your watch.

4.Manufacturers suggest that these be changed and/or inspected anywhere from every 18 to 36 months. If you dive frequently, it is recommended that the watch be pressure tested and the gaskets be changed/inspected annually.

5.Don’t wear in sauna, Jacuzzi or hot tub – Extreme changes in temperature may affect the sealing capabilities of your dive watch. To be safe, take off your watch when you are enjoying yourself in these places. Lucky you!

6.Screw/Push Crowns – If you have a screw down crown make sure it is screwed all the way down before getting in the water.

7.In the same vein, push in crowns should be pushed in all the way before going in the water. Do not use the crowns or push down devices while you are underwater.

8.Avoid chemicals – Do not expose dive watches to aerosol sprays, strong chemicals or solvents. They may damage or dry out parts of dive watches.
