The note from Tommy was short and to the point: “Come out to the coast and we’ll take a nice afternoon dive.” The coast he was referring to was the northern shore of Bali, where he’d retired after cashing out of his lucrative startup. Since then, it had all been tiki drinks and bikinis for Tommy, and he wanted me to join in the fun.
A short 35 hours of air travel later, I arrived in The Last Paradise, and Tommy and I ventured out into the Indonesian surf. Soon, we spotted a coral atoll he’d never seen before. Down we went into the warm, crystalline water, taking in the reef’s neon-colored sea life. About half an hour in, we came across a sunken super yacht that had been there for decades.
Always up for an adventure, we swam down to the boat, only to find we’d been beaten to the discovery by a tiger shark. Though Tommy and I tried to get out of there as fast as we could, our striped friend decided we should stay for lunch. The shark grabbed hold of my forearm, but a quick punch to the nose turned this tiger into a pussycat.
It was only after the adrenaline subsided that I realized she’d left me a souvenir— a shark’s tooth embedded in the face of my watch.
Now you can get your hands on this lifesaver: the Stauer Tiger Shark. Featuring a two-tone construction of stainless steel, this dive watch has precision crystal movement and is rated for 20 ATM— meaning it can go more than 650 feet below the surf. Don’t swim with the fishes— get your own Stauer Tiger Shark today!
