The Man in the Sea Museum is proud to partner with Ken Ellis Watches to offer custom‑built diver watches inspired by the legacy of underwater exploration.

Each watch is thoughtfully crafted using quality components—including Seiko automatic movements, sapphire crystals, and stainless steel dive cases—and features designs that honor the history we preserve at the museum.

✅ The best part?
A portion of every watch sold is donated directly to the Man in the Sea Museum, helping us preserve diving history and support STEM education for future generations.

🛠️ How to order:
Supporters can order a custom dive watch directly through Ken Ellis Watches, selecting a design that speaks to them while knowing their purchase helps keep diving history alive.

This is a great way to wear history, support a veteran‑owned business, and help the museum all at once.
Thank you for supporting the Man in the Sea Museum—and for helping us continue our mission, one watch at a time.

Huge shout‑out to Serenity Sound & Cinema for their generous donation of new outdoor speakers! They sound incredible and will help set the tone for all of our events and visitors. If you’re looking for custom entertainment design and installation, they’re simply the best.

Special thanks as well to the divers of Class 26‑20‑2C/DMT, who made a stop to help install the new speakers and spruce up the outdoor areas ahead of our upcoming events.
Class 26‑20‑2C/DMT graduates this Thursday—we’re excited to see these outstanding divers heading to the fleet next week!
