How low can you go?

[dovo1695]

I'd like to bring in my SOSF to get the seals coated and to have it pressure tested. I read in a recent post that one member had his SOSF tested to 30bar which should translate to about 330 meters. It's amazing to me that a rep could achieve this depth rating! Discussion of the wisdom of diving with a replica aside, what's the best depth rating you've ever achieved with a rep in the lab? What's the deepest you've taken it in the ocean? I'm keen to know which rep is the king of the sea!

12 atm...

though my WS said it would easily reach de 30 atm gen like WP

I just wish I had a tester that would go as deep as 12ATM! Mine, like most that don't cost as much as a gen Rolex only go to 5 or 6 and all my reps I have tested go to that. Chances are good that anything that tests ok at that will be ok to considerabley more.

I do have access to a gas tester but it's a 200k trip to use it. I think it goes to 12 or so. Offshore will know for sure.

@Trailboss,

The deep one goes to 20ATM dry. That is the air pressure job. The vacuum tester, which is really only a leak detector, only is good for about the same as a Bergeon, ie 6ATM.
