For The Eternal Desk Diver



By TLex It’s time to take out your most precious and prized dive watch. Its pristine case is blemish free; you want it to stay that way. God forbid you should dare to take it scuba diving!

But that’s exactly what I’m inviting you to do. Strap that beauty to your wrist and prepare to enter the amazing underwater world that is the Endless Ocean, Nintendo’s diving sim for the Wii.

OR alternatively get off the couch, sign up to do a PADI Open Water course or similar dive course and enjoy the real ocean, best leave that 10,000 dollar diver at home though, and dust off the old Citizen Promaster!



The term 'Desk Diver' was created by fellow dive watch enthusiast and friend, Marc . . .
