Versatile Dive Computer with Surface GPS for Your Diving Adventures

Dive computer manufacturers have tried to bridge the gap between diving and everyday life with the watch style dive computer for many years but really all they have ever been is just a small dive computer. The Garmin Descent Mk1 was a big step forward with actually smartphone integration and a host of other features as well. Now Garmin has literally blown the competition away with the Mk2. It really is an evolutionary step forward for dive computers.

The Garmin Descent Mk2 does so much it is almost incomprehensible. As well as the normal recreational, technical and closed-circuit rebreather features you would expect in a high-end computer it also uses the built-in GPS to supplement your dive log information, when diving with the watch against your skin the heart rate and pulse Oxy sensors will also be recorded and used in your decompression calculations.

On land, it is a full-blown multi-sport watch with advanced training features, contact pay features, integration with music services, smart notifications and it has a phenomenal battery life. Install the Garmin smartphone app and desktop app and you'll benefit from the incredible support and update services that Garmin offers. Regular firmware updates continue to improve the function and features of the Descent Mk2 long after you make your purchase.
