Wish I could afford Rolex or Omega :) but other than that I'm wondering if anyone has suggestion what else is there. I'm an amateur diver, i.e. I wouldn't go deeper than 20-30 meters anyway. So I suppose just about any of those would do. But I really love something both functional and classy.
any suggestion would be welcome, and feel free to suggest any other brand as well

Personally I wear a G-Shock watch, but a Timex Triathlon is also a great watch. Contrary to what Wayne said, you don't really need a watch that says how many metres you've gone down, as your dive computer will display that, but what you really need is a watch that can help you keep track of the amount of time you've been under. A watch with a depth gauge is an added luxury though.

What would I need to do to become a Captain for a luxury yacht?

I wanted to be a captain for a cruise ship but that probably wont happen, so instead I want to be a Yacht captain, what schooling/ licenses are needed to become one? I would like to captain a yacht about 200ft in length (motor, non sail) , nothing more than that.

If you currently do not have a license and are interested in becoming a âCharter Boat Captain,â you can achieved this goal by obtaining a variety of licenses, as detailed below.
General Requirements for License's Checklist
Operator of Uninspected Passenger Vessel (OUPV) or â6-Packâ License â This license is most appropriate for uninspected passenger vessels which by law are limited to six or less passengers for hire. These are usually smaller vessels and normally engage in charter fishing, whale watching, SCUBA diving, and tour cruises. This license is limited to near coastal waters only not more than 100 miles offshore and is not valid for international voyages.
OUPV Limited License â Also known as Limited Operator of Uninspected Passenger Vessels. This is commonly known as a âlaunchtender licenseâ and is issued to those employed by organizations such as yacht clubs, marinas, formal camps, and educational institutions, limited to the specific activity and locality.
Limited Master License (less than 100 gross register tons) â This is the same license as directly above, but is issued to those who operate Coast Guard inspected vessels.
Master, 100 Tons License (less than 100 gross register tons and only for 25, 50, or 100 gross register tons) â This license is most appropriate for operating small passenger vessels carrying more than six passengers that are inspected for and carry a USCG Certificate of Inspection. Typical vessels include charter boats (head boats), small ferries, dinner boats, and whale watch vessels.
