Cutting that short can equal death by the "bends". Nobody who dives seriously will entrust their life to a cheap watch, therefore most will go for the real deal, the kind that has the clamp gasket at the winder to screw down for a very tight seal, and the extra thick glass. The only way to follow the US Navy dive tables is to know how much time you hover at a given depth, and how long you are down at a given depth before coming up for your decompression stops. Mr. p

On the upside, a guy has to look at the positive side of everything. I was alive, and fit enough to be out there doing this work myself, and hey, I got to backfill the foundation twice. I did it right the first time though, and the second time was well, not quite as good a job. Mr. P
