"Water Resistance" ----- Is A Standard For Measuring And Rating The Resistance To Water Pressure In The U.S.
"Water Resistant" Is Not A Submersible Rating!
The Term "Water Resistant" Does Not Automatically Mean The Product Can Be Taken Underwater And Function! Only "Diving" Rated Products Can Be Consider Diving Gear! The Term "Water Resistant" Does Mean The Item Can Be Held Underwater Totally Submerged!
Never Dive With Any "Water Resistant" Item; Unless It Is Rated For "Diving"!
Why Is Water Pressure Important?
Consider This When Making Your Choices ---- Water-Pressure On A Device, Increases When Moved In Water. Pressure Is Increased On A Watch, Or Other Device, When It Impacts Water, Moves In Water, And When Water Hits It.
Radios marketed as "FRS/GMRS" or "dual-service radios" have been made available from Casanova's. The manual that comes with the radio, or the label placed on it by the manufacturer, should indicate the service the unit is certified for. If It Cannot Be Determined What Service The Unit Was Certified For, Contact The Manufacturer.
Diving
A Item Must Have Been Designed To Function While Being Submerged! A Watch Must Have Buttons And Dials That Were Designed To Keep A Watertight Seal While Operated Under Submerged Water And The Pressures Multiplied By Movement Including Impacts To The Watch And User! Never Consider A Watch A Diving Watch Unless It Is Specially Designated A Diving Watch By The Manufacturer (NOT THE SELLER!).
