Not just "water-resistant-down-to-some-absurd-depth" cool, but the kind of cool that pegs the wearer as a man or woman of action. Strap a dive watch to your wrist and suddenly you're someone who can go deep; who could risk the bends; who may have faced treacherous weather, hostile sea creatures or near disaster on the open waves and--with a little help from your dive watch--lived to tell about it. Now that's cool.

这个地方我认为可以不必管near disaster，因为惊涛骇浪或汹涌的波涛就蕴涵着危险的意思，关键是上下文的衔接：
带上潜水表，你一下子就敢……，就敢……，就敢面对变幻莫测的天气，危险的海洋动物或惊涛骇浪
面对变幻莫测的天气，危险的海洋动物或惊涛骇浪

猜想
风平浪静下暗藏的危险/灾难，猜想open waves 是开阔平坦的海浪。

(有可能面对过)...在大海上差一点被完蛋了(的紧急情况)
near disaster = 差一点完蛋了;近乎完蛋了(的紧急情况)
on the open waves = 大海上
open = not enclosed eg From the garden there was a marvellous view over open countryside. It's not a good idea to camp in the middle of an open field (= one which is not covered with trees, bushes, etc). The survivors were adrift on the open sea (= far from land)(Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary)
open [only before a noun 只用于名词前] = not enclosed 空旷的;开阔的 eg the open country 广阔的郊野 open fields 空旷的田野

Actually the open waves may simply mean the open sea outside the sheltered harbour or gulf area, rather than mid-ocean. Most diving I guess would not be in deep water, but in shallow seas around coasts.
