"When you are 200ft below the surface where the first nuclear detonation was conducted sinking the ship that launched the attack on Pearl Harbour, every second matters. The SIF N.A.R.T joins me in some of the most hostile environments on the planet and is a trusted partner. Thank you JS Watch Co. Reykjavik for all your continued support over the years."
