Descent MK3 Series Dive Computers

For those who explore the depths, Garmin introduces the Descent MK3 Series Dive Computers, a collection that redefines what a dive watch can be. With a whopping 200-meter dive rating, these watches are not just water-resistant; they’re deep-sea dynamos. Garmin has crafted a series that goes beyond conventional dive watches. These are not merely watches for men; they are indispensable tools for the serious diver.

The Descent Mk3 series by Garmin unveils groundbreaking features that redefine the underwater experience, providing divers with unprecedented peace of mind. Soon to be integrated, the Diver Assistance feature harnesses enhanced SubWave sonar technology. In times of need, divers using a Descent Mk3i dive computer and Descent T2 transceiver can send out an assistance alert to connected divers. Nearby allies will have real-time insights into the distressed diver’s depth and distance, enabling them to monitor and assist until the situation is resolved.

Exclusive to the 51mm Descent Mk3i, an integrated LED flashlight with a built-in strobe mode enhances visibility in low-light conditions, whether above or below the water. It’s a safety feature that adds an extra layer of security to nighttime or murky water dives. The watch goes beyond tracking dives; it gauges the body’s readiness for underwater adventures. Divers receive a readiness score by considering lifestyle factors like sleep, exercise, stress, and jet lag. A higher score signals an optimal time to dive, while a lower score means you might want to opt for a more leisurely dive.

In a groundbreaking move, Garmin presents the Descent G1 Solar Ocean Edition Dive Computer.

With the capability to store and review data for up to 200 dives, divers can relive their underwater experiences and share them via the Garmin Dive app, fostering a community of exploration. The Ocean Edition goes a step further, allowing users to tailor additional data screens for each dive mode, providing a personalized and intuitive interface.

The watch extends its utility beyond the oceanic realm, focusing on mind and body wellness. Features like sleep score and advanced sleep monitoring, wrist-based heart rate, Body Battery energy monitoring, and hydration tracking provide divers with a comprehensive understanding of their overall well-being.
