Some will even connect to your computer, automatically filling in an e-logbook and giving you detailed graphs and statistics. This is great for people like me who don’t like to get their logbooks wet and prefer to write it all down with a beer at the end of the day. Your computer will remember details about your last dives just like a logbook. With new decompression and safety stop upgrades to better provide fast and accurate info for ascending, the Mark 2 improves diver safety. An instructor might like to know their students’ time remaining while underwater, but this info is generally more interesting for post-dive deep-diving. What’s amazing is the ability to read the same data on other scuba divers within a 10 meter range. This revolutionary system pairs with the T1 transmitter providing advanced air integration and ultra accurate air pressure of up to 5 gas-mixed tanks (ni-tri- and 100%-ox), dive time remaining, and consumption rate.

The bling in the Mk2 is the addition of the SubWave network on the Mk2i (the “i” stands for integration), a sonor-based communication technology that increases range and signal strength underwater. The upgraded functionality to the Mk2i both as a dive computer and as a multisport smartwatch overcame our initial skepticism. The amazing multi-sport functionality is truly impressive – both for the amount of activities and the depth of info.īackcountry skiing, sailing (with integrated tide charts), skydiving and kayaking are some of the crazy amount of activities this machine is designed to track.Įxpectations were high after the success of the original Descent Mark One, which seemed to come pretty close to hitting the sweet spot between a dive computer and an everyday smartwatch.

This is a cool dive computer with a user experience that was clear to see and use before, during and after the scuba dive. We went diving with the new Garmin Descent Mk2i.
