In the big picture, Does a helium escape valve make sense? They are not that old of an function, but isn't it just another thing that needs maintenance or it will go bad? I am a rec scuba diver and don't really keep my watch on anymore. how many folks get into saturation diving? Â
Doxa had the first helium release valve in 1969 I believe. I never heard of them going bad. I think it's cool to have extra bells and whistles but I'd bet most of the people buying expensive watches with a helium valve aren't wearing them in the water with them. How far down you going with scuba diving?
When i dive, I stay at no decompression depths. In my military days, I went deeper for a reason, mostly training but in the rec world there is not alot down there, it is cold, it is dark. Been there, done that. I did some wreck diving in the pacific, but then again it was for a purpose and I really enjoyed the experience, another experience in the books. And for the record I did not wear a watch at the time. Â
