Watch the video clip on the testing of the Nuvi 500 waterproof capabilities - http://www.gpsmagazine.com/2008/09/test ... _water.php

Bro Redstorm, The movie test it only in a fish tank.

If you read the Garmin posted specs, it is waterproof in accordance with the European test standard IEC 60529 IPX7. An IPX7 designation means the GPS case can withstand accidental immersion in one meter of water
for up to 30 minutes.

So your warranty is void if you take it deeper than 1 meter and longer than 30 mins.

Obviously, lah, Ron, accidental immersion in 1 metre of water. Only a fool will take it to go scuba diving or test it at more 1 metre.

Obviously, only a fool will believe another fool to use the device for scuba diving...
