Discover a deeper connection with the Descent™ Mk3i watch-style dive computer. It features multiple dive modes plus SubWave™ sonar technology for diver-to-diver communication via preset messages (available with software v.15.70 or later). The device also supports monitoring of tank pressures and depth for up to eight networked divers, when paired with the Descent™ T2 transceiver (sold separately). A built-in LED flashlight keeps you going in low-light conditions, above or below water. Purpose-built specifically for divers, the Descent Mk3i dive computer combines a bright 1.4” AMOLED display with scratch-resistant sapphire lens, 200-meter dive-rated case and metal leakproof inductive buttons. DiveView™ maps offer bathymetric depth contours and more than 4,000 dive sites to help you find where to dive and get oriented. Plus, a dive readiness tool, developed by Garmin, shows how lifestyle factors such as sleep, exercise, stress and jet lag can affect your body’s overall preparedness for diving — so, ultimately, you can make better-informed dive plan decisions (data presented is intended to be a close estimation of metrics tracked). This dive computer is designed to help maximize your preparation for the physical and mental challenges of diving. When you’re ashore, built-in sports apps help you stay on top of your fitness, while Garmin Pay™ contactless payments, music storage and smart notifications keep you connected (compatible smartphone required).

Great Multi-Purpose Device
This is a great dive computer if you want a device that you can also use for activities other than diving. It is bright and very readable under water, and you can customize the different screens to suit your needs. My main complaint is that you have to remember to manually start a “dive” activity if you want it to capture your GPS coordinates before the dive, and I haven’t been able to get it to capture the coordinates at the end of dives (perhaps I just need to hold it out of the water or set the end dive delay for longer so that it ends when I’m back on the boat). If you start a dive without manually selecting the activity, the watch will automatically go into dive mode… it just won’t have gotten the GPS position beforehand. Your data syncs to the Garmin Dive app, which is okay but could be better. Annoyingly, it seems to save data to the cloud, not to your device, so you need an internet connection to view your dive log.As an out-of-water watch, it’s a little bulky but not out of line with Garmin’s higher end sports watches. I’ve used it for walking, running, swimming, and sleep tracking. It comes with regular length straps for normal wear as well as a longer strap for diving, and it’s really easy to snap them on and off to change between the two. Garmin also offers a large line up of different colors and styles. It’s relatively easy to customize the watch face designs and add / remove data. Battery life is respectable.

Exceeded my expectations when I upgraded from a MK1
I’ve had a Mk1 which has served me well. This watch has a bigger, brighter screen, and so many more features. Wear it scuba, golf (excellent) and road biking.Best is the morning health report!

High-Performance Dive Watch with Unmatched Versatility and Safety Features
I recently took the Mk3i with me to the Philippines for diving, and it exceeded my expectations. The battery life is outstanding, and it performed flawlessly during my SCUBA dives. I paired it with the wireless air pod for my tank, which allowed me to monitor my air supply or track a less experienced diver—an excellent safety feature, even though the pods are a bit pricey.I opted for the larger model with a built-in flashlight, which I initially thought I wouldn’t use but now rely on all the time. The red light mode is especially useful for staying visible when walking on dark streets at night. With so many features packed into this watch, it’s a top-tier dive computer and more. The only small downside is that the buttons can be too easily pressed, but it’s not a deal-breaker. If you can invest in it, I highly recommend it for its versatility, durability, and safety-enhancing features.

chose this over fenix 8
I’ve worn a Garmin watch for more than a decade, starting with the forerunner 920xt, fenix 5, 6, epix 2. the consolidation of all my health stats and activities in one place and the amount of detail is unmatched by any other trackerI chose the descent because I’m getting into diving. at first I thought the fenix 8 was right for me but the air integration is a must. helps you track your air consumption in much more detail (see the reviews for the descent t2 transmitter)the fenix 8 is also limited to recreational depths, and if you remotely think you might want to get into tec diving or deeper depths, you need the descentas someone who also tracks all runs, bike rides, hikes, workouts etc, the descent is the closest thing to the perfect daily companionthe only minor downside is that the screen is not quite as large as dedicated high end dive computers like the shearwaters, but all the functionality is there

Great for groups
Great dive computer.Pros.:GPS;Haptic;Integrated air;Transmitter with no valve;Messages with other divers;Share info with other divers (essential for my, I dive with my family).Cons.:The “sonar” used to communicate does an annoying sound.I prefer my Sheerwater Teric screen customization, maybe I just didn’t find the right screen mode.The GPS doesn’t automatically input the dive location.

Simplemente la mejor computadora de buceo, más todas las actividades deportivas y de reloj inteligentes que Garmin ofrece. Calidad

Buena computadora de buceo, la utilizo como compu de respaldo y me arroja los mismos tiempos de fondo que mi Teric. Le compré un protector de plástico y eso la ha protegido muchísimo de golpes en el bisel. La carátula y datos durante el buceo son muy visibles, es fácil cambiar de gas o que muestre otros datos apretando un botón. Gracias a las apps de Garmin también puedes cambiar la carátula del modo reloj y personalizar casi cada valor. Es un juguete caro, espero que el uso diario no afecte al sensor de profundidad. Después de un mes de uso y 5 buceos, lo recomiendo

A dive watch you can wear to work and to the gym. For the price point of a dive watch, it’s nice to be able to use it for more than just diving. This watch offers so much data, customizable algorithm and so far, a totally reliable connection (Even though I still dive with a backup SPG and backup computer). I haven’t had a chance to use the diver to diver messaging yet, but I’m excited for the first time I go diving with someone else who has this watch. The flashlight is surprisingly useful.

Replaced my Suunto D5 with this unit. Probably overkill for what I need and now after diving it for a year, I can see a Fenix 8 would have been just fine. I’m a commertial diver and use the t2 transmitter, but i should have got a real dive computer such as the x50i instead and bought the Fenix 8 for recreational scuba and freediving. The screen is too hard to read on the Mk3 at depth and the transmitter fails to connect at least once every dive for a few seconds up to a few mins. Its a good watch, dont get me wrong, but I could have made a smarter purchase with a little more research.
