The Garmin Descent MK3i dive computer can be paired with the Garmin Descent T2 Transceiver for integrated pressure monitoring on up to eight tanks, via the SubWave Sonar Data network. This groundbreaking technology allows divers to exchange preset dive-related messages to up to 30m depth, along with pressure and depth monitoring for up to 8 divers within a range of 10 metres (coming soon via required software update). It offers multiple dive modes for both single and multiple gas dives (including nitrox and trimix), gauge, apnea, apnea hunt and closed-circuit rebreather. To allow you to be perfectly prepared and safe for any type of diving, the Garmin Descent MK3i also shows how lifestyle factors (sleep, stress, jetlag etc) can affect your body. Orientate yourself when diving with colour maps offering bathymetric depth contours to help you discover new dive destinations. The vibrant 1.4 inch Amoled colour display, sapphire lends and 200 metre dive-rated case, along with leakproof metal inductive buttons means that you can take the Descent MK3i as deep as you like, with full trust.
