Michael, Skule has already put into the right words! ;-)
Congratulations from a sister after a spa in SH. The background is a pic from the dive center resp. training centre of the German Navy divers in Eckernfoerde. Not so far from the Danish border. :-) They call it in colloquialism 'Tauchtopf' =>'diving pot' in English?

Great photo Hajo!
No what they do in that "dive pot" they lower 5 scuba sets with full tanks to the bottom, then put 8 divers on the top wearing only fins and mask and BUNDS countdown to a start. On go, the 8 divers dive in and fin down to the 30m bottom. First 5 to arrive, get a scuba set and air - 3 divers end up needing to then swim back to the surface (and air) still on their single breath they took before starting.

Hi Mark, thank you very much for your interesting additional notes on what they do in "dive pot". Do you know whether it is more a challenge/competition or a general selectioning part of the training?

Thank you guys for all the nice words! I have several IWC's and all outstanding but this one takes the prize!
I have read a lot about the Ocean 2000 but the more I read about the BUND and the divers using the watch the more respect and impressed do I get.
Hajo and Mark, thank you for the story about the "Dive pot" and the picture!
Hajo - what a beauty you got there, I wonder what a spa would cost? Maybe you could pm me? Could be interesting if you would share some of your experiences with the BUND
