Let's be clear - I want a dive watch so i can pop in and out of the sea on holiday. :)
I'll probably do some light snorkeling but i'd be amazed if i dropped below 5m in depth.I'm after a 38mm dive watch as I want something smaller and not some massive lump to wear around but something i don't have to worry about getting wet etc.
I have a steel bracelet diver already but it's fucking massive and fucking heavy.

Pretty much what that quartz chrono Stendardo diver I DIY modded the hell out of was used for. Don't forgot to rinse well whatever you buy. Sea salt is a pain in the bezel.

Fair point. I don't dive either, well not often but I do surf regularly and I find the only watches that survive are properly ISO rated divers of 200m or more. Maybe peak pressures spike and water finds a way in if there's any weakness. Something to bear in mind if waterskiing or even diving is a likely holiday activity.

Or a Casio.
I think there may also be a Citizen in that size.
I'm sure there's a small Squale.
For a holiday watch I'd probably go for a bright rubber strapped swatch.

Longines Legend Diver (their super compressor reissue) is very nice. I paid something like £700 for mine as-new.

Oris divers also worth a look.

Are these boutique makers/Indy brands properly tested? If I was buying a dive watch I want ISO certification so I can actually use it in the water. I ask cause the Moana Pacific waterman has some nice variants. Apart from the name.
